B. Findin s for Consideration
Meridian Road
Right-of-Way Policy: District policy requires 9G-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure
72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot
concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has not proposed any improvements to Meridian Road.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: Based on the design for the Split Corridor Projects, it has
been determined that this segment of Meridian Road would be constructed as a 5-lane roadway
section with two way travel. This 5-lane roadway section will be constructed within a constrained
amount of right-of-way, 80-feet instead of the standard 96-feet. Because there is already 35-feet of
right-of-way existing from the centerline of Meridian Road, not additional right-of-way dedication will
be required.
The applicant will be required to construct a 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk a minimum of 28-
feet from the centerline of the roadway, or to provide the district with a road trust in the amount of
$3250.00 for the future construction of the sidewalk as part of the Meridian Split Corridor Project.
2. Driveways
Successive Driveway Policy: District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or
arterial roadways with a speed limit of 35 to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from any existing
or proposed driveway.
Driveway Paving Policy; Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems
due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.9.1, the
applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site
beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting
the existing roadway edge.
Driveway Width Policy: District Policy 7207.9.3 restricts residential driveways to a maximum
width of 20-feet.
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to utilize an existing 20-foot driveway located
approximately 55-feet north from the south property line (measured property line to near edge).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal does not meet District policy,
however the location of the prapased driveway is approved as proposed due to the existing
configuration of successive driveways on this segment of Meridian Road, and the inability to share
access with neighboring properties. The applicant will be required to pave the driveway its full width
and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement
tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge.
3. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Width Interim Policy prohibits all trees in planters
less than 6-feet in width. In addition to prohibiting trees in planters less than 6-feet in width, the
policy requires a minimum planter width of 6-feet for class II tress with the installation of root
barriers on both sides of the planter strip or a minimum planter width of 8-feet without the
installation of a root barrier. The policy also requires Class I and Class III trees to provide a
minimum planter width of 10-feet.
