D. Findings for Consideration
1. State Highway SH-69 / Meridian Road
SH-69/Meridian Road is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). The
applicant(s), City of Meridian, and ITD should work together to determine if additional right-of-way
or improvements are necessary on SH-69/Meridian Road.
The applicant proposed to close the existing intersection onto SH-69/Meridian Road, Shafer View
Drive, and to construct a new right-in/right-out only public street intersection, Shafer Ridge Street
south of the existing Shafer View Drive. The applicant should be required to coordinate the closure
of Shafer View Drive and the construction of Shafer Ridge Street with ITD. The applicant should
be required to obtain plan approval and permits from ITD.
2. Shafer View Drive
a. Existing Conditions: Shafer View Drive is improved with 2-travel lanes, rolled curb and gutter
no sidewalk abutting the site. There is 50-feet of right-of-way for Shafer View Drive (25-feet
from centerline).
b. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct 5-foot wide detached concrete
sidewalk with an 8-foot wide planter strip abutting the site on Shafer View Drive. The applicant
is proposing to provide a permanent right-of-way easement from the existing right-of-way line
to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk.
The applicant is proposing to vacate/exchange a portion of the existing Shafer View Drive near
its intersection with SH-69/Meridian Road in order to relocate the roadway further south creating
a new intersection on SH-69/Meridian Road. The applicant is proposing to terminate Shafer
View Drive in a permanent cul-de-sac turnaround with a 50-foot wide turning radius.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct sidewalk abutting
the site on Shafer View Drive meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed.
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 Shafer View
Drive consistent with the current version of PROWAG.
If ITD allows the construction a new public street intersection on SH-69/Meridian Road then
staff is supportive of the proposed right-of-way vacation/exchange.
The right-of-way vacation/exchange requires a separate application, hearing, and approval
process. The right-of-way vacation should be completed prior to plat approval. Approval of civil
plans will be contingent upon the completion of this right-of-way vacation.
If ITD allows the construction of a new public street intersection on the state highway and the
applicant completes the right-of-way vacation,then the proposal to terminate Shafer View Ridge
in permanent cul-de-sac turnaround should be approved, as proposed.
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 Shafer View
Drive consistent with the current version of PROWAG.
3. Internal Local Roadways
a. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Snowden Way, Shafer Ridge
Street, Perlite Avenue, and Mondt Meadows Way as 33-foot wide local streets with curb, gutter,
an 8-foot wide planter strip and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk on either side of the
roadways. The applicant is proposing to dedicate 37-feet of right-of-way and provide a
permanent right-of-way from 2-feet behind back of curb to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk for
each roadway.
6 Shafer View Ridge Subdivision / MPP25-0016 /
H-2025-0034
b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved, as proposed.
4. Roadway Offsets
a. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct all internal local roadways to
offset 125-feet or greater from one another.
b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved, as proposed.
5. Stub Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are two proposed stub streets located as follows (measured
centerline to centerline):
• Street N, a local roadway that is proposed to stub to the south of the site located 459-
feet east of SH-69. This roadway is not yet constructed and was approved as part of
ACHD's action on Skyranch in 2024.
• Street A, a local roadway that is proposed to stub to the south of the site located 880-
feet west of Sublimity Avenue. This roadway is not yet constructed and was approved
as part of ACHD's action on Mondt Meadows Subdivision in 2025.
b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct two stub streets to the site's south
property line located as follows:
• Perlite Avenue, located 460-feet east of SH-69/Meridian Road and in alignment with the
proposed Street N.
• Mondt Meadows Way, located 76-feet west of the site's east property line and generally
in alignment with the proposed Street A.
The applicant is proposing to construct a temporary cul-de-sac turnaround with a 54-foot wide
turning radius at the terminus of Mondt Meadows Way off-site on the adjacent property to the
south.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to install a sign at the
terminus of Perlite Avenue and Mondt Meadows Way stating, "THIS ROAD WILL BE
EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."
The applicant should be required to provide written approval from the adjacent property owners
for the proposed off-site temporary cul-de-sac turnaround proposed at the terminus of Mondt
Meadows Way. The applicant's proposal for the turning radius of the temporary cul-de-sac
exceeds District policy 7207.2.4.4, the turning radius of the temporary cul-de-sac turnaround
may be reduced to a minimum of 50-feet.
6. Traffic Calming
a. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Mondt Meadows Way to a length
exceeding 600-feet.
b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy, however,
staff has concerns over the length of Mondt Meadows Way as it extends into the adjacent
property. With the future extension of Mondt Meadows Way, staff believes the roadway will
extend to a length over 750-feet and may necessitate future traffic calming implementation by
ACHD. Per District policy 7207.3.7, 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.
7 Shafer View Ridge Subdivision / MPP25-0016 /
H-2025-0034
Speed humps/bumps, valley gutters, stop signs, and cross drains are not an acceptable tool for
traffic calming on new local streets and will not be accepted as traffic calming.
8 Shafer View Ridge Subdivision / MPP25-0016 /
H-2025-0034
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. Shafer View Drive & 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.
9 Shafer View Ridge Subdivision / MPP25-0016 /
H-2025-0034
• 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
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.
Half Street Policy: District Policy 7207.2.2 required improvements shall consist of pavement
widening to one-half the required width, including curb, gutter and concrete sidewalk (minimum 5-
feet), plus 12-feet of additional pavement widening beyond the centerline established for the street
to provide an adequate roadway surface, with the pavement crowned at the ultimate centerline. A
3-foot wide gravel shoulder and a borrow ditch sized to accommodate the roadway storm runoff
shall be constructed on the unimproved side.
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.
5. 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).
6. Stub Streets
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7207.2.4.3 (local) states that stub streets will be required to
provide circulation or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the
10 Shafer View Ridge Subdivision / MPP25-0016 /
H-2025-0034
requirements described in Section 7207.2.4 except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required if
the stub street has a length no greater than 150-feet. A sign shall be installed at the terminus of
the stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."
In addition, stub streets must meet the following conditions:
• A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the nearest street intersection within the
proposed development and drain surface water towards that intersection; unless an
alternative storm drain system is approved by the District.
• The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will remain
free of obstructions.
Temporary Dead End Streets Policy: District policy 7207.2.4.4 requires that the design and
construction for cul-de-sac streets shall apply to temporary dead end streets. The temporary cul-
de-sac shall be paved and shall be the dimensional requirements of a standard cul-de-sac. The
developer shall grant a temporary turnaround easement to the District for those portions of the cul-
de-sac which extend beyond the dedicated street right-of-way. In the instance where a temporary
easement extends onto a buildable lot, the entire lot shall be encumbered by the easement and
identified on the plat as a non-buildable lot until the street is extended.
7. Driveways
7.1 Internal Local Roadways
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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
11 Shafer View Ridge Subdivision / MPP25-0016 /
H-2025-0034
10. 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.
11. 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.
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.
12 Shafer View Ridge Subdivision / MPP25-0016 /
H-2025-0034
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.
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
