Development Application Report
MC? A99-02/MRZ99-07
Fairview Avenue/Records Drive
The applicant is requesting a comprehensive plan amendment to change the land use of 12.3
acres from single family residential to commercial uses. The existing zoning of the site is I-L
and the applicant is requesting a C-C zone. The site is located at the southeast comer of Records
Drive and Fairview Avenue. At the present zoning, the site could generate approximately 600
vehicle trips per day. With the proposed zoning the site could generate approximately 2,000
vehicle trips per day.
On September 23, 1998, the Commission approved MCUP98-l7, a request for conditional use
approval for an 848,000-square foot retail shopping center. That 74.74-acre site is located on the
southeast comer of Eagle Road and Fairvie\v Avenue in Meridian. That development is
estimated to generate 26,950-additional vehicle trips per day upon full occupancy based on the
Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation manual and the submitted traffic study.
619,868-square feet are proposed to be developed in the first phase of the project. The District
required a traffic analysis and conceptual review of the entire site including the new proposal
plus the current site to the west, MCUP98-l7, because of the concern for traffic volumes and
operations.
Roads impacted by this development:

B. Uti lity street cuts in new pavement less than five years old are not allo\ved unless approved in
writing by the District. Contact Construction Services at 387.6280 (with file numbers) for
details.
C. Eagle Road traffic volumes have increased an average of 16% over the last seven years. Traffic
has increased an average of 20% over the last four years. The AP A model assumes a 4%
annual growth rate until the Year 2015. While it is unlikely that the 20% growth rate "viII be
maintained, the AP A forecast is likely low, based on observed development rates and counts.
D. District staff requested an extensive traffic impact study summary for MCU9S-17 and this
project because:
1. the proposed development exceeded the District's trip generation threshold for
commercial developments,
2. concern about the impact of the development on traffic accessibility to Eagle Road and
Fairview Avenue, and
3. concern about the operation of the Eagle/Fairview intersection.
E. A Traffic Study has been submitted for the proposed comprehensive plan amendment and
rezone. The traffic study included the development at the southeast comer of Fairview and
Eagle. The key findings of the study are as follows:
1. The proposed project is estimated to generate 2,040 additional total daily vehicle trips.
The actual additional traffic volume added to the street system is approximately 1,500
daily vehicle trips because of pass by trips already on the adjacent roadways.
2. The proposed project is estimated to generate 225 total peak hour vehicle trips, adding
approximately 225 peak hour vehicle trips to the external trip network because of pass
by trips already on the adjacent roadways.
3. The anticipated peak hour vehicle trips are the result of a trip rate of 4.225 peak hour
vehicle trips per 1,000 square feet of floor area. This number is in compliance with the
data provided by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). District staff
completed peak hour traffic counts at two smaller local shopping centers. The observed
numbers matched the ITE data for a similar sized shopping center. Staff therefore
accepts the submitted figures for peak hour trip generation.
4. The submitted site plan shows several driveways on Fairview Avenue and Records
Drive.
5. Records Drive is currently a private street from Fairview Avenue to the Crossroads
Subdivision but will be dedicated as a public street and designated as a local
commercial road with this application. The analysis assumed that the Records/Fairview
intersection will be signal controlled.
6. In addition to Records Drive, there are three other proposed driveways on Fain'iew
Avenue. The western-most driveway (Driveway A on the attached map) is proposed for
right-onlright-out operation. The other two driveways meet District policy for full
access operation. Current District policy allows a maximum of three access points for
one frontage.
7. Both Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue are principal arterials. As such, Level of
Service (LOS) E is an acceptable condition for the intersections on both roadways.
Mep A9901.Gv1M
Page :.;
e
e
8. Both Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue are five lane facilities abutting the project site
with free righHurn lanes on all legs of the intersection.
9. The Eagle Road Access Study recommended a future grade separated interchange for
the Eagle/Fainliew intersection.
10. The current AP A model assumes an average annual increase of traffic on Eagle Road of
4%. The obsetlled traffic increases have averaged 20% per year over the last four years.
11. The Eagle/Faitlliew intersection currently operates at LOS O.
11. The Eagle/Faitlliew intersection will operate at LOS F with the existing geometry and
the "existing plus project" tranic volumes. The intersection can be made to operate at
an acceptable LOS E condition with the provisions of dual left turn lanes and free right
turn lanes on all approaches. This change \vill require moving at least two signal poles
and adding pavement as well as restriping. The signals currently provide pedestrian
actuated movement across Fairview Avenue and Eagle Road, and this provision for
pedestrians must be maintained after any modifications to the intersection.
13. The Faitlliew/Records intersection will operate at LOS 0 with the existing plus project
traffic volumes. The intersection will require signalization and dual left turn lanes on
all approaches in order to maintain a good LOS. Staff recommends that two northbound
left-turn lanes be constructed on-site by the developer, with a signal installed
appropriately to accommodate future dual left-turn lanes on Faitlliew Avenue to be
constructed by the ~istrict \vhen needed.
14. The remaining, unsignalized, full access site driveways will operate similar to right-
in/right-out facilities. The through traffic volumes on both streets are so high that there
will be few opportunities for left-turns at any of the non-signalized intersections. These
driveways will operate at an acceptable LOS E or better for outbound left turns and
inbound left turns ~ if the signalized intersections are constmcted as shown above.
The demand for left turns at the unsignalized intersections far exceeds the available
capacity. These intersections only function acceptably because the excess traffic can be
diverted to a signalized intersection at Records Drive. This condition is caused by a
combination of high traffic volumes on the arterial streets and at the site driveways.
F. The preceding analyses identified the following public street improvements needed to
accommodate the additional traffic created by this project and the normal growth of background
traffic:
1. Construct a traffic signal at the F airview Avenue/Records Drive intersection. Locate the
signals to accommodate future dual left-turn lanes on Fairview Avenue.
2. Construct dual northbound left turn lanes on Records Drive at the Fairview Avenue
intersection.
3. Constmct Pine Avenue from Eagle Road east to the eastern property line of this project.
Two lanes are needed from the western drive\vay to the eastern property line. Four
lanes are needed from the western driveway to the \Vestern property line.
4. Construct curb, gutter and an eastbound lane to Fairview from Records Drive to the east
property line.
G. Fairview Avenue is a classified roadway and, as such, would be eligible for the use of impact
fee revenue to increase their capacity, if such improvement is included in the Capital
Improvements Plan (CIP) and the Five Year Work Program (FYWP). None of the
improvements recommended by the traffic impact study are included in the FYWP. Some of
MCPA9902.CMM
Page 4
,e
e
the recommended improvements will be necessary in the future to accommodate traffic growth
without the traffic that will be generated by this proposal, and the District would be
constmcting those improvements at the appropriate time, partially funded from impact fee
revenue. The large volume that will be generated by the proposed development accelerates the
need for those improvements. Staff has evaluated the relative benefits that will be realized by
the general traveling public from the various rec'ommended improvements and suggests that
they be considered in two categories, system improvements and site related improvements as
follows:
I. System Improvements are capital improvements other than a site-related improvement
which is a public facility and is designed to provide service to the community at large.
The costs of these improvements \vould be offset from the Road Impact Fees for the
project:
a. Constmct curb, gutter and an eastbound lane on Fairview Avenue from Records
Drive to the east property line.
b. Dedicate 60-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Fairview Avenue from
Records Drive to the east property line. The District will require additional
right-of-way to be dedicated on Fairview Avenue for the westbound left turn
lanes at the Fairview Avenue/Records Drive intersection. Coordinate the
roadway design and right-of-way dedication with District staff.
2. Site-related improvements are capital improvements or right-of-way dedication for
direct access to and/or within the proposed project or development. The costs of these
improvements must be borne by the developer of the project:
c. Constnlct a traffic signal at the Fain'iew/Records intersection.
d. Constmct dual northbound left turn lanes on Records Drive at the Fairview
Avenue intersection. The signal will include provision for Opticom equipment.
e. Constmct a five-foot sidewalk on Fairview Avenue abutting the site.
f. Constnlct five-foot sidewalks on Records Drive abutting the site.
g. Dedicate 76-feet of right-of-way for Records Drive from Fairview Avenue to a
point 300-feet south of Fairview Avenue through the parcel by means of
recordation of a final subdivision plat or execution of a warranty deed prior to
issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first.
h. Dedicate GO-feet of right-of-way for Records Drive from a point 300-feet south
of Fairview Avenue to the south boundary of the parcel by means of recordation
of a final subdivision plat or execution of a warranty deed prior to issuance of a
building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first.
H. The standard impact fee for the adjacent Family Center retail center is 52,298 per 1,000 sq ft of
building area. The original 850,000 sq ft retail complex would normally be expected to pay a
Road Impact Fee of approximately $2 million.
The applicant has submitted an individual assessment for the project site. The assessment
identified the site's location adjacent to a State Highway and reported an impact fee of$I,744
per 1,000 sq ft of building area. The original 850,000 sq ft retail complex would normally be
MCPA9902.G,,1~1
Page 5
e
e
expected to pay a Road Impact Fee of approximately $1.5 million. The District accepted the
individual assessment, thereby reducing District Impact Fee Revenue by almost 5500,000.
I. The current application will likely include a 200,000-square foot retail building. Under the
current impact fee structure, the applicant would be expected to pay a Road Impact Fee of
approximately 5460,000. Using the cost tigures from the previolls assessment, the impact fees
would be expected to total 5350,000 assessment, thereby reducing District Impact Fee Revenue
by almost S 11 0,000.
1. ACHD's Park & Ride Division Staff has indicated the need for a Park & Ride location at the
applicant's site. The District requests that applicant grant the District an easement for a 10 to
12-space Park & Ride area at this site. Commuteride staff will contact the applicant to
coordinate the location of the Park & Ride area.
K. In order to reduce trips to and from this development it is recommended that Tenants occupying
the proposed building be required to provide an Alternative Transportation Program for
employees and provide an annual report to ACHD on employee participation. Commuteride
staff will coordinate the Alternative Transportation Program with the applicant. For more
information contact Pat Nelson at 387-6160 for further information.
L. In order to reduce trips to and from this development, it is recommended that the tenants
occupying the proposed building(s) be required to participate in any Transportation
Management Association (TMA) or Transportation Management Organization (TMO) that is
formed with a boundary that includes this site or is adjacent to this development.
A Transportation Management Association (TMA) or Transportation Management
Organization (TMO) is formed with a coordinator that \vorks as a liaison between businesses
and private and public transportation providers to increase the use of alternative transportation
and other trip reduction measures (shuttle buses, bus pass prograrns,vanpools, car pools,
bicycle and walking enhancements).
An annual survey will be required of the TMNTMO to monitor participation in alternative
transportation programs and forwarded to the ACHD Commuteride Office.
M. In accordance with District policy the applicant may construct a maximum of three driveways
on Fairview Avenue a minimum of 440-feet for a full access driveway and 220-feet for a right-
in/right-out driveway from any public street intersection and 220-feet from all existing or
proposed driveways. The maximum driveway width should be 40-feet with a minimum storage
length of 1 DO-feet. The applicant should also be required to install a 36" by 36" high intensity
STOP sign at the driveway's intersection with Fairview Avenue. Pavement tapes should be
constructed with 15-foot radii at any proposed driveway. Coordinate the design, storage length
and location of any proposed driveways with District staff.
N. In accordance with District A maximum of three driveways should be approved on Records
Drive. The driveways should be located a minimum of l7S-feet south ofFairview Avenue and
aligned or offset ISO-feet from all existing or proposed driveways. The driveways should be
constructed as 24 to 3D-foot curb return driveway with 15-foot curb radii. The minimum
MCPA9902.Ci'v!\!
Page 6
e
e
storage length should be 50-feet. Install a 36" by 36" high intensity STOP sign at the
driveway's intersection with Records Drive.
O. District policy states that direct access to arterials and collectors is nomlally restricted and that
the developer shall try to use combined access points. In accordance with District policy the
applicant should be required to provide a recorded cross access easement for the parcel to the
east to use this parcel for access to the public streets prior to issuance ofa building permit (or
other required permits). The District intends to require a similar agreement of the o\vners of the
parcel to the east if they are the subject of a future development application.
P. As required by District policy, restrictions on the \vidth, number and locations of drive\vays.
may be placed on future development of this parcel.
Q. The District completed an access control plan for the-entire Eagle Road corridor in 1997. An
important recommendation of that study was the proposal for a grade separated interchange at
the Eagle/Fairview intersection. Although construction of the interchange is anticipated beyond
the 20-year planning period, the Long Range Transportation Plan establishes the policy that the
District should preserve the right-of-way now to ensure that the needed land will be available
when construction begins.
R. The existing transportation system will be adequate to accommodate the additional traffic
generated by this proposed development only with the additional requirements outlined within
this report. The existing transportation system is not adequate for the anticipated traffic
volumes without improvement.
The following requirements are provided as conditions for approval:
Site Specific Requirements:
1. Dedicate sufficient additional right-of-way to total 60-feet from section line of Fairview
Avenue abutting the entire site. The right-of~way shall be dedicated by means ofrecordation of
a final subdivision plat or execution of a warranty deed prior to issuance of any Certificate of
Occupancy. The owner will be .compensated for all right-of-way dedicated as an addition to
existing right-of-way from available impact fee revenues in this benefit zone, if the owner
submits a letter of application to the impact fee administrator prior to breaking ground, in
accordance with Section 15 of ACHD Ordinance #188.
2. Dedicate 76-feet ofright-of-way (3S-feet from the centerline) for Records Drive from Fairview
Avenue to a point 300-feet south of Fairview Avenue and 60-feet of right-of-way (30-feet from
centerline) for Records Drive from that point to the south boundary of the parcel by means of
recordation of a final subdivision plat or execution of a warranty deed prior to issuance of a any
Certificate of Occupancy. The owner will not be compensated for this right-of-w'ay because
Records Drive is a local street.
3. Construct a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on Fairview Avenue abutting the site (approximately
822-feet total) prior to issuance of any Certi ficate of Occupancy. The construction plans for
the development showing the sidewalk must be approved prior to issuance of a building pemlit.
MCPA9902.CM.\1

4. Prior to opening of the development, construct pa'iement widening on Fairview Avenue to add
one eastbound lane from Records Drive to the east property line. The cost of this improvement
will be offset from the road impact fee to be collected for the development.
5. Construct a maximum of three driveways on Fairv.iew Avenue a minimum of 440-feet for a full
access driveway and nO-feet for a right-in/right-out driveway from any public street

install an Opticom device for emergency vehicle pre-emption of the signal to the satisfaction of
ACHD and the Meridian Fire Department. Other materials for the traffic signal are to be
purchased from ACHD or be demonstrated to meet ACHD specifications. The signal should be
designed to allow the future constnlction of dual left-turn lanes on Fairview Avenue. The
applicant will be responsible for the entire cost of the signal installation. Submit the signal
design to District staff for approval prior to construction.
8. A maximum of three driveways are approved on Records Drive. The driveways shall be

GENERAL COMMENTS

approved copy of the legal description to the City Attorney's Office for their use in the

first one would start it running. Say you had two at the same time. That could pose a
problem.
Borup: So more than one item couldn't be combined as a -
Gigray. No. If it's one application for a Comprehensive Plan change, that's one item.
But if you had developer A who requested a Comprehensive Plan, and you had
developer B who requested a Comprehensive Plan change, and developer A's matter
was approved, because it was first on the agenda, then you would have a problem with
item B, if you recommended a change. That would all be handled, I'm sure in staffing if
that issue came up.
Borup: So we couldn't approve several applications at the same meeting and have-
Gigray. Not if it involved a Comprehensive Plan change. If it is one application by one
developer, then I think you can do that.
Borup: So we couldn't combine several applications into one recommendation?
Gigray: There is a possibility you could do that, but I think you would have to make
some procedural moves ahead of time and you'd have to get the (inaudible) and
agreement on the part of the application to do that.
Borup: Yes, Thank you. I had one other item I think we can handle that right now. The
applicant has requested Items 2 and 3 to be reversed-to hear 3 first and then 2. He
felt that would enable us to have a better understanding of Item 2 when we get to it. If
none of the Commissioner's have any objections, I'd like to proceed in that order then.
Okay, I'd like to get back to Item Number 1.
De Weerd: Mr. Chairman. I move that we approve the agenda with the mentioned
changes.
Smith: Second.
Borup: All in favor.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.

Agenda Items of the July 29, 1999 Special Meeting of the Planning & Zoning
Commission
Numerous applications for comprehensive plan amendments have been received by staff in the
last two months. Due to the need to consolidate the applications received, I respectfully request
that a cutoff date of August 16, 1999, be established for [mal receipt of complete comprehensive
plan amendment applications and that a special meeting be set up for the last week of September,
1999, to consider all comprehensive plan amendments at the same time. This will give staff
additional time to prepare an analysis of the proposals and the goals and policies of the
comprehensive plan.
The following actions are recommended:
Item 1.
Item 2.
Item 3.
Item 4.
Continue public hearing to specific date in September
As this property is a portion of a previously approved conditional use permit,
removal of this land area from the overall planned development is a significant
change and would require a modification of the conditional use permit. This 11.4
acres was previously shown to be a theater. Also, it appears that the parcel is an
illegal subdivision. No plans have been shown for development of the property.
Staff recommends denial of the request.
Continue public hearing to specific date in September
Continue public hearing to specific date in September. Parcel shown would be an
illegal split of the property. Comprehensive plan must be changed to allow
annexation and zoning. Any consideration for annexation and zoning should
require development as a planned development under the conditional use process
and specific requirements included in a development agreement.

Development Application Report
MCP A99-02/MRZ99.07
Fairview Avenue/Records Drive
The applicant is requesting a comprehensive plan amendment to change the land use of 12.3
acres from single family residential to commercial uses. The existing zoning of the site is I.L
and the applicant is requesting a C -C zone. The site is located at the southeast comer of Records
Drive and Fairview Avenue. At the present zoning, the site could generate approximately 600
vehicle trips per day. With the proposed zoning the site could generate approximately 2,000
vehicle trips per day.
On September 23, 1998, the Commission approved MCUP98-17, a request for conditional use
approval for an 848,000-square foot retail shopping center. That 74. 74-acre site is located on the
southeast comer of Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue in Meridian. That development is
estimated to generate 26,950-additional vehicle trips per day upon full occupancy based on the
Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation manual and the submitted traffic study.
619,868-square feet are proposed to be developed in the first phase of the project. The District
required a traffic analysis and conceptual review of the entire site including the new proposal
plus the current site to the west, MCUP98-17, because of the concern for traffic volumes and
operations.
Roads impacted by this development:

8. Both Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue are five lane facilities abutting the project site
with free right-turn lanes on all legs of the intersection.
9. The Eagle Road Access Study recommended a future grade separated interchange for
the Eagle/Fairview intersection.
10. The current APA model assumes an average annual increase of traffic on Ea~le Road of
~ ~
4%. The observed traffic increases have averaged 20% per year over the last four years.
11. The Eagle/Fairv'iew intersection currently operates at LOS D.
12. The Eagle/Fairview intersection will operate at LOS F \vith the existing geometry and
the "existing plus project" traffic volumes. The intersection can be made to operate at
an acceptable LOS E condition with the provisions of dual left turn lanes and free right
turn lanes on all approaches. This change \vill require moving at least two signal poles
and adding pavement as well as restriping. The signals currently provide pedestrian
actuated movement across Fairv'iew Avenue and Eagle Road, and this provision for
pedestrians must be maintained after any moditications to the intersection.
13. The Fairview/Records intersection \vill operate at LOS D with the existing plus project
traffic volumes. The intersection will require signalization and dual left turn lanes on
all approaches in order to maintain a good LOS. Staff recommends that two northbound
left-turn lanes be constmcted on-site by the developer, \vith a signal installed
appropriately to accommodate future dual left-turn lanes on Fairview Avenue to be
constructed by the District \vhen needed.
14. The remaining, unsignalized, full access site driveways will operate similar to right-
in/right-but facilities. The through traffic volumes on both streets are so high that there
will be few opportunities for left-turns at any of the non-signalized intersections. These
driveways will operate at an acceptable LOS E or better for outbound left turns and
inbound left turns D..I14' if the signalized intersections are constmcted as shown above.
The demand for left turns at the unsignalized intersections far exceeds the available
capacity. These intersections only function acceptably because the excess traffic can be
diverted to a signalized intersection at Records Drive. This condition is caused by a
combination of high traffic volumes on the arterial streets and at the site driveways.
F. The preceding analyses identified the following public street improvements needed to
accommodate the additional traffic created by this project and the normal growth of background
traffic:
1. Construct a traffic signal at the Fairview Avenue/Records Drive intersection. Locate the
signals to accommodate future dual left-turn lanes on Fairv'iew Avenue.
2. Construct dual northbound left turn lanes on Records Drive at the Fairview Avenue
intersection,
3. Constmct Pine Avenue from Eagle Road east to the eastern property line of this project.
Two lanes are needed from the western driveway to the eastern property line. Four
lanes are needed from the western driveway to the westem property line.
4. Construct curb, gutter and an eastbound lane to Fairview from Records Drive to the east
property line.
G. Fairview Avenue is a classitied roadway and, as such, would be eligible for the use of impact
fee rc:\"tnue to increase their capacity, it'such improvemc:nt is incluued in [he Capital
Improvements Plan (eIP) and the Five Year Work Program (FYWP). None of the
improvements recommended by the traffic impact study are included in the FYWP. Some of

expected to pay a Road Impact Fee of approximately 51.5 million. The District accepted the
individual assessment, thereby reducing District Impact Fee Revenue by almost $500,000.
1. The current application \villlikely include a 200,OOO-square foot retail building. Under the
current impact fee structure, the applicant \vould be expected to pay a Road Impact Fee of
approximately 5460,000. Using the cost figures from the previous assessment, the impact fees
would be expected to total $350,000 assessment, thereby reducing District Impact Fee Revenue
by almost $110,000.
J. ACHD's Park & Ride Division Staff has indicated the need for a Park & Ride location at the
applicant's site. The District requests that applicant grant the District an easement for a 10 to
l2-space Park & Ride area at this site. Commuteride staff\'lill contact the applicant to
coordinate the location of the Park & Ride area.
K. In order to reduce trips to and from this development it is recommended that Tenants occupying
the proposed building be required to provide an Alternative Transportation Program for
employees and provide an annual report to ACHD on employee participation. Commuteride
staff will coordinate the Alternative Transportation Program with the applicant. For more
information contact Pat Nelson at 387-6160 for further information.
L. In order to reduce trips to and from this development, it is recommended that the tenants
occupying the proposed building(s) be required to participate in any Transportation
Management Association (TMA) or Transportation Management Organization (TMO) that is
fonned with a boundary that includes this site or is adjacent to this development.
A Transportation Management Association (TMA) or Transportation Management
Organization (TMO) is fonned with a coordinator that works as a liaison between businesses
and private and public transportation providers to increase the use of alternative tra;lsportation
and other trip reduction measures (shuttle buses, bus pass programs, vanpools, car pools,
bicycle and walking enhancements).
. An annual survey will be required of the TMAlTMO to monitor participation in alternative
transportation programs and forwarded to the ACHD Commuteride Office.
M. In accordance with District policy the applicant may construct a maximum of three driveways
on Fairview Avenue a minimum of 440-feet for a full access driveway and 220-feet for a right-
in/right-out driveway from any public street intersection and 220-feet from all existing or
proposed driveways. The maximum driveway width should be 40-feet with a minimum storage
length of IOO-feet. The applicant should also be required to install a 36" by 36" high intensity
STOP sign at the driveway's intersection with Fairview Avenue. Pavement tapes should be
constructed wi th IS-foot radi i at any proposed driveway. Coordinate the design, storage length
and location of any proposed driveways with District staff.
N. Tn accordance with District A maximum of three driveways should be approved on Records
Drive. The driveways should be located a minimum of I 75-feet south ofFairview Avenue and
~l!:.:;:;;d or offset 150-feel from all existing or proposed driveways. The driveways should be
constructed as 24 to 30-foot curb return driveway with IS-foot curb radii. The minimum

4. Prior to opening of the development, constmct pavement widening on Fairview Avenue to add
one eastbound lane from Records Drive to the east property line. The cost of this improvement
will be offset from the road impact fee to be collected for the development.
5. Constmct a maximum of three drivewavs on Fairview Avenue a minimum of 440-feet for a full
access driveway and nO-feet for a right-in/right~out driveway from any public street
intersection and nO-feet from all existing or proposed driveways. The maximum driveway
width \vill be 40-feet with a minimum storage length of 100-feet. Install a 36" by 36" high
intensity STOP sign at the driveway's intersection with Fairview Avenue. Construct pavement
tapers with IS-toot radii. Coordinate the design, storage length and location of any proposed
dri veways \vith District staff.
6. Construct Records Drive as a 65-foot street section (with curb, gutter and S-toot ';'vide concrete
sidewalk) from Fairview Avenue to a point 300-feet south of Fairview Avenue. Records Drive
shall be located approximately 2,1 OO-feet east of Eagle Road. Widen the approach to Fairview
Avenue to provide t\VO northbound left tum lanes and one northbound throughJrighHullllane.
Two southbound lanes are needed from Fairview Avenue to a point 300-feet south of Fairview.
Dedicate sufficient right-of-way for the noted improvements.
7. Constmct a traffic signal at the Fairview A venue/Records Drive intersection. Provide and
install an Opticom device for emergency vehicle pre-emption of the signal to the satisfaction of
ACHD and the -Meridian Fire Department. Other materials for the traffic signal are to be
purchased from ACHD or be demonstrated to meet ACHD specifications. The signal should be
designed to allow the future constmction of dual left-turn lanes on F airview Avenue. The
applicant will be responsible for the entire cost of the signal installation. Submit the signal
design to District staff for approval prior to construction.
8. A maximum of three driveways are approved on Records Drive. The driveways shall be
located a minimum of 17S-feet south of Fairview Avenue and aligned or offset ISO-feet from
all existing or proposed driveways. The driveways shall be constmcted as 24 to 30-foot curb
