Development Application Report
MCU-17-98 Meridian Family Center
/~ 8!~~
y~~,~o~
~~~s~
SEC Fairview Avenue & Eagle Road
The applicant is requesting conditional use approval for an 848,000-square foot retail shopping
center. The 74.74-acre site is located on the southeast corner of Eagle Road and Fairview
Avenue in Meridian. This development is estimated to generate 26,950-additional vehicle trips
per day based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation manual and the
submitted traffic study.
-The Commission previously reviewed and conceptually approved this project as part of the
Crossroads Subdivision in 1995. In the original review, only the residential component was
approved. The District required a traffic analysis and conceptual review of the entire site (e.g.
the commercial and residential components), because of the concern for traffic volumes and
operations. The residential component was approved by the District and the subdivision is in the
final stages of construction. -The current application is very similar to the original application.
Staff is not able to discern any major difference between the original concept and this new
proposal.

Records Drive has not yet been constructed between Fairview Avenue and the Crossroads
subdivision. A paved, but temporary access has been constructed as a secondary access to the
residential development. This access is temporary until the current application constructs the
final segment.
2. Utility street cuts in new pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in
writing by the District. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file numbers) for
details.
Eagle Road (State Highway 55) is under the jurisdiction of Idaho Transportation Department
(ITD). Application materials should be submitted to ITD for review and requirements of that
Department and the applicant should submit to the District a letter from ITD regarding said
requirements prior to District approval of the final plat or issuance of a building permit (or
other required permits), whichever occurs first. The applicant may contact District III Traffic
Engineer Lance Johnson at 334-8340.
4. 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 APA model assumes a 4%
annual growth rate until the Year 2015. While it is unlikely that the 20% growth rate will be
maintained, there is some question about the accuracy of the 2015 traffic forecast.
5. District staff requested an extensive traffic impact study summary for this project because: the
retail center is estimated to generate 30,000 daily vehicle trips, concern about the impact of the
MCU 1798.COM

development on traffic accessibility to Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue, and the operation of
the Eagle/Fairview intersection.
ACHD staff and the staff of the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reviewed the submitted
DRAFT traffic analysis prepared by Dobie Engineering Inc. Both agencies responded with
lengthy review letters and requests for additional data. An addendum was submitted by the
applicant's consultant. Both ITD and ACHD staffs reviewed the addendum and requested
mote in-depth analysis by a second set of review letters. A second addendum was submitted
by the applicant's consultant. Following is a summary of the traffic analysis submitted by
Dobie Engineering and a list of recommendations.
Evaluation of the traffic analysis summary (Dobie Engineering) and supplemental field analysis
by staff provided the following information:
a. The proposed. project is estimated to generate 26,950 total daily vehicle trips. However,
the actual additional traffio volume added to the street system is approximately 20,000
to 21,000 daily vehicle trips because of passby trips already on the adjacent roadways.
b. The proposed project is estimated to generate 2,570 total peak hour vehicle trips.
However, will only add approximately 1,750 to 2, 020 peak hour vehicle trips to the
external trip network because of passby trips already on the adjacent roadways.
c. The anticipated 2,570 peak hour vehicle trips are the result a trip rate of 3.03 peak hour
vehicle trips per 1,000 sq ft 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.
d. The project site was originally reviewed as a retail center site in 1995 as part of the
Crossroad Subdivision Traffic Analysis. The residential component of this site was
approved and is currently under construction. The current forecast trip generation from
the commercial component of this site is consistent with the assumptions from the
original (1995) study.
e. The submitted site plan shows several driveways on Pine Street, Eagle Road and
Fairview Avenue.
f. Pine Street is a designated collector road. There is no right-of--way east of Eagle Road.
A portion of the Pine Street roadway has been constructed west of Eagle Road. The
submitted traffic analysis assumed that the Pine/Eagle intersection will be signalized.
g. Presidential Drive is a public street and designated as a local road. The analysis
assumed that the Presidential/Eagle intersection will be STOP controlled on the
Presidential Drive approach.
h. Florence Street is a private driveway east of Eagle Road but is a public street designated
as a local road west of Eagle Road.
i. Eagle Road is an access controlled roadway under the jurisdiction of ITD. The two
access points were deeded to this parcel by ITD. The applicant is proposing three
access points (including Pine Street). Presidential Drive is the only access point which
has been constructed at this time.
MCU1798.COM
Page 4
. •
j. Pine Street is a future public roadway. It is scheduled for construction between Eagle
and Cloverdale Road in FY 2000. ACHD has already obtained an access permit from
ITD to construct the Pine Street intersection. with Eagle Road.
k. Records Drive is a currently private driveway but will be dedicated as a public street
and designated as a local road with this application. The analysis assumed that the
Records/Fairview intersection will be signal controlled.
1. There are four other proposed driveways on Fairview Avenue. The western-most
driveway (Driveway A on the attached. map) is proposed for right-on/right-out
operation. The other three driveways meet District policy for full access operation.
m. Current District policy allows a maximum of three access points for one frontage. Staff
supports a variance to allow the fourth driveway because of the great length of frontage
(one-half mile) and the high: volume: of traffic to be accommodated.
n. 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.
o. Both Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue are five lane facilities abutting the project site.
There is an added northbound free right turn from Eagle Road to Fairview Avenue.
p. The Eagle Road-Access Study (1997) recommends allowing only two access points to
Eagle Road between-Pine Street and Fairview Avenue. These two access points would
be restricted to right-in/right-out operation as Eagle Road traffic volumes increased.
These access points would be eliminated entirely in future stages of the plan's
implementation.
q. The Eagle Road Access Study recommended a grade separated interchange for the
Eagle/Farview intersection in a future development phase.
r. The'current APA model assumes an average annual increase of only 4%. The observed
traffic increases have average 20% per year over the last four years.
s. The Eagle/Fairview intersection currently operates at LOS D.
t. The Eagle/Fairview intersection will operate at LOS F with 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 will require moving at least two signal poles
and adding pavement as well as restriping.
u. The Eagle/Pine intersection will operate at LOS E with the `existing plus project" traffic
volumes. The intersection will require dual left turn lanes on all approaches.
v. The Fairview/Records intersection will operate at LOS E with the `existing plus project"
traffic volumes. The intersection will require signalization and dual left turn lanes on all
approaches.
w. 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.
x. The remaining, unsignalized, full access site driveways will operate at an acceptable
LOS E or better for outbound left turns and inbound left turns QnLX if the signalized
intersections are constructed 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
intersections at Pine Street and Records Drive. This condition is caused by a
combination of high traffic volumes on the arterial streets and at the site driveways.
MCU1798.COM
Page 5
•
y. Due to the high traffic volumes on both Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue, the
remaining, unsignalized, full access site driveways will operate at an acceptable LOS E
or better for outbound right turns and inbound left turns if the signalized intersections
are constructed as shown above.
6. ACHD has contracted with EARTH•TECH Engineering Inc. to perform a third party review of
the development. This second consultant's review produced essentially the same information.
There were two noted points of difference however.
a. EARTH-TECH had a less optimistic view of the future traffic volumes on Eagle Road.
They were less comfortable with APA's forecast of 4% annual growth and used recent
traffic volumes to forecast higher future volumes on Eagle Road. The result of this
assumption is that the roadway intersections are completely overwhelmed with traffic
from this project and the background traffic volumes.
b. EARTH•TECH had a less optimistic view of the site's customers traveling to the nearest
signalized intersections. They assumed that more drivers would wait for traffic at the
nearer unsignalized intersections. The result of this assumption is that the unsignalized
intersections will be completely overwhelmed with traffic from this site.
7. The preceding analysis has identified that the following public street improvements are the
minimum modifications needed to accommodate the additional traffic created by this project
and the normal growth of background traffic:
a. Construct dual left turn lanes on all four approaches of the Eagle/Fairview intersection.
b. Modify the existing Eagle/Fairview intersection to add a pedestrian signal and phases.
c. Construct a traffic signal at the Fairview Avenue/Records Drive~intersection.
d. Construct dual westbound left turn lanes on Fairview Avenue at the Records Drive
intersection.
e. Construct a traffic signal at the Eagle Road/Pine Street intersection.
f. Construct dual southbound left turn lanes on Eagle Road at the Pine Avenue
intersection.
g. Construct dual westbound left turn lanes on Pine Avenue at the Eagle Road intersection.
h. Construct 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 western property line.
i. Construct deceleration lanes at all intersections on Eagle road abutting the site.
j. Construct deceleration lanes at all intersections on Fairview Avenue abutting the site, or
add an eastbound lane to Fairview from apoint -feet west of Eagle Road to the
easternmost driveway from Fairview Avenue to the site.
Depending upon the magnitude and direction of project development, it maybe possible to
implement the needed improvements in phases. All of these improvements may not be needed
at the start of development. (STAFF WILL ESTABLISH THRESHOLDS, IDENTIFIED
BY SQUARE FOOTAGES OF BUILDINGS FOR THE VARIOUS IMPROVEMENTS.)
MCU 1798.COM

Fairview Avenue and Pine Street are ACRD classified roadways 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). Idaho Code
also allows the use of road impact fee revenue on State Highways, such as Eagle Road for the
same purpose (capacity enhancement). Only one of the improvements recommended by the
traffic impact study, the Eagle/Pine signal, is included in the FYWP. Some of 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
constructing 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 recommended improvements and suggest that the
District should participate in the construction of the following improvements to the extent
noted:
A Construct dual left turn lanes on all four approaches of the Eagle/Fairview intersection -
the District should offset the costs of the lanes on the two Fairview Avenue legs of the
intersection against the impact fees to be paid for the project. The developer should be
responsible for the cost of the lanes on the two Eagle Road legs of the intersection, or
make his best deal with ITD.
B Modify the existing Eagle/Fairview intersection signal to add a pedestrian signal and
phases -all at developer expense.
C Construct a traffic signal at the Fairview/Records intersection -all at developer expense.
D Construct dual westbound left turn lanes on Fairview Avenue at the Records Drive
intersection -all at developer expense.
E Construct a traffic signal at the Eagle Road/Pine Street intersection -the District should
provide the materials, and the developer should install the signal. This is a partnering
with No. 7, below. Part of the expense of the road construction is the District's
responsibility because it will be slightly more than the development actually requires.
The total provision of the signal equipment by the District will balance that expense.
F Construct dual southbound left turn lanes on Eagle Road at the Pine Street intersection -
all at developer expense.
G Construct Pine Street from Eagle Road east to the eastern property line of this project -
all at developer expense. See above, No. 5.
H Construct deceleration lanes at all intersections on Eagle Road abutting the site -all at
developer expense.
Construct deceleration lanes at all intersections on Fairview Avenue abutting the site, or
add an eastbound lane from -feet west of the Eagle Road intersection. Staff
recommends that the eastbound lane will actually benefit the traffic to the development
to a greater extent than the deceleration lanes, and will also aid the Fairview/Eagle
intersection by adding a right turn lane. The developer should bear the entire cost of the
lane abutting the site, the portion west of Eagle Road may be offset from the impact fee
for the project (to be determined by final draft of report).
9. District policy requires the applicant to construct afive-foot sidewalk on Fairview Avenue
abutting the entire site (approximately 2,600-feet) prior to issuance of any required permits or
District approval of a final plat, whichever occurs first.
MCU 1798.COM
Page 7
•
10. Construction of the added lane on Fairview Avenue abutting the site should result: in one half of
an 89-foot street section.
11. District policy requires the applicant to construct afive-foot sidewalk on Eagle Road abutting
the entire site (approximately 2,600-feet).
12. District policy requires the applicant to construct five-foot sidewalks (both sides) on Records
Drive abutting the entire site (approximately 700-feet). The District prefers to defer the
construction of curbs along the frontage of this site and use roadside swales to control runoff
from Fairview Avenue and Eagle Road, similar to the system constructed by ITD in connection
with the Eagle Road construction from Fairview Avenue to S.H. Highway 44. The developer
should be required to integrate adequate drainage swales alongside Eagle Road and Fairview
Avenue into the landscaping scheme for the development. Coordinate the design of the
drainage swale and-sidewalk with District staff. If ITD objects to the use of a drainage swale
along Eagle Road, staff will reconsider this recommendation.
13. Dedicate 76-feet of right-of-way forRecords 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. The owner will nQt be compensated for this right-of--way
because Records Drive is a local street and is to be brought to adopted standards by the
developers of abutting properties.
14. Dedicate 60-feet ofright-of--way for Records Drive from 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. The owner will n~ be compensated for this right-of--way because Records Drive is
a local street and is to be brought to adopted standards by the developers of abutting properties.
15. ACHD's Park & Ride Division Staff have indicated the need for a park and ride location at the
applicant's site. The District requests that applicant grant the District an easement fora 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.
16. 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.
17. 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 works as a liaison between businesses
MCU1798.COM
Page 8
•
"and private and public transportation providers to increase the use of alternative transportation
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 TMA/TMO to monitor participation in alternative
transportation programs and forwarded to the ACRD Commuteride Office.
18. District policy states that direct access to arterials and collectors is normally 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 of a building permit (or
other required permits). The District intends to require a similar agreement of the owners of the
parcel to the east if they are the subject of a future development application.
19. In accordance with District policy,.. stub streets or driveways to the undeveloped parcels
abutting this site maybe required upon review of a future application for this site.
20. As required by District policy, restrictions on the width, number and locations of driveways,
may be placed on future development of this parcel.
21. District staff is extremely.eoncerned with internal site access and the possible traffic impacts
within the site and on the adjacent residential subdivision. Staff believes that an improved
internal site circulation system should be designed to minimize those impacts. The proposed
system could include on-site travel routes parallel to Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue,
improve the access to the two signalized intersections of Pine Street and Records Drive, but
should not be immediately in front of the stores.
22. 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 EaglelFairview intersection. Although this project is anticipated beyond the 20-year
planning period, the Long Range Transportation Plan establishes the policy that the District
should purchase the right-of--way now to ensure that the needed land will be available when
construction begins. Therefore, the applicant should be required to dedicate sufficient land area
to accommodate the proposed interchange design. 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 ACRD Ordinance #188. The owner
may enter into a license agreement with the District to use the preserved right-of--way until the
District constructs the interchange.
23. 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.
MCU1798.COM

•
The following requirements are provided as conditions for approval:
Special Recommendation to Meridian City:
The applicant should be required to revise the site plan to provide internal site circulation
equivalent to a public street system. This is necessary to ensure that intra-site circulation does
not use the public street system or circulate through the adjacent subdivision to gain access to
the signalized intersections at Eagle Road and Records Drive. The on-site system should
roughly parallel Fairview Avenue and Eagle Road but should not be located immediately in
front of the stores. Coordinate the internal roadway design with District staff.
2. 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 ACRD on employee participation. Commuteride
staff will coordinate the Alternative Transportation Program with the applicant. For more
information contact Mrs. Pat Nelson at 387-6160.
3. In order to reduce trips to and from this development, the tenants occupying the proposed
building(s) should 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.
SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO ITD
1. The applicant should be required to construct the needed improvements to create dual left-turn
lanes on the two Eagle Road approaches of the Eagle/Fairview intersection. These
improvements are not needed immediately, it may be acceptable to begin partial operation of
the site before the noted improvement is required.
2. The applicant should be required to construct the needed improvements to create dual left-turn
lanes on the two Eagle Road approaches of the Eagle/Pine intersection. These improvements
are not needed immediately, it maybe acceptable to begin partial operation of the site before
the noted improvement is required.
The applicant should be required to construct the needed improvements to modify the existing
Eagle/Fairview traffic signal to provide pedestrian phasing on the four approaches. These
improvements are not needed immediately, it maybe acceptable to begin partial operation of
the site before the noted improvement is required.
4. The applicant should be required to construct deceleration tapers at each of the driveways on
Eagle Road.
5. The applicant should be required to construct a right turn lane on northbound Eagle Road at the
Fairview Avenue intersection.
MCU 1798.COM
Page 10
6. Prohibit any driveway access to Eagle Road north of the Florence Street intersection. The
driveway will conflict with the operation of the free, northbound right-turn lane.
Site Specific Requirements:
Comply with requirements of ITD for Eagle Road (State Highway 55) frontage. Submit to the
District a letter from ITD regarding said requirements prior to District approval of the final plat
or issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first. Contact
District III Traffic Engineer Lance Johnson at 334-8340.
2. Dedicate 6 to 8-feet ofright-of--way from the centerline of Fairview Avenue (to tota159-feet
from section line) abutting 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. 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.
3. Dedicate 96-feet ofright-of--way (48-feet from the centerline) of Pine Street abutting 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. The owner
will be compensated for 23-feet 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.
4. Dedicate sufficient right-of--way abutting Eagle Road for the future Eagle Road Interchange.
