between 2013 and 2017.
4 Pinebridge-MPP-07-008/MRZ-07-010/MAZ-07-006
• Pine Avenue from Locust Grove to Eagle Road is scheduled to be widened to 5-lanes between
2013 and 2017.
• The intersection of Locust Grove/Fairview Avenue is scheduled to be widened between 2018
and 2027 to include 7 lanes on the north and south legs, 8 lanes on the west leg, and 9 lanes on
the east leg.
B. Findings for Consideration
Traffic Impact Study
Dobie Engineering, Inc. prepared a traffic impact study for the Pinebridge mixed use development.
Below is a summary of the findings submitted by the applicant's consultant:
• At full build-out the site development will produce a total driveway volume of approximately
37,270 vehicles per day with a PM peak hour loading of over 3,880 per hour. The site will
contribute 32,330 new trips per day to the system roads. Projected build out year is 2015.
• The proposed site access plan includes one new collector access to Fairview Avenue, a
commercial access to Locust Grove Road and the extension of Pine Avenue between Eagle
and Locust Grove. A small portion of the site traffic is also assigned to Commercial Court,
Hickory Avenue, and Wilson Lane.
• The arterial intersections now operate with moderate traffic congestion. Extensive
modification to the existing roadways and arterial intersections will be needed to
accommodate projected regional traffic volumes through the year 2015.
• The eastbound Pine Avenue approach to Eagle. Road will receive sufficient turning traffic to
warrant a separate right-turn lane and signal phase.
• Anew signal at the Pinebridge/Fairview intersection will be required in conjunctions with the
first phase of development.
• A traffic signal will be needed at the Pine Avenue/Hickory Avenue intersection at full build
out of Pinebridge.
• Approximately 42% of the site traffic is distributed to Eagle Road via Pine Avenue and
Commercial Court. Approximately 26% of the site traffic is distributed north to Fairview
Avenue, and the remaining 32% is distributed west to Locust Grove Road.
Staff Comment: In review of the submitted traffic impact study, District Traffic Services and Planning
Review staff noted some potential discrepancies in the submitted traffic impact study analysis regarding the
existing and projected levels of service at the Fairview/Eagle and Eagle/Pine intersections. The table
below includes the consultants analysis and ACHD staff's analysis regarding the level of service at those
intersections.

Staff Comment/Recommendation: The District recognizes that the existing and projected
level of service at the Eagle/Fairview intersection is above an acceptable planning level
capacity. Previously this intersection was identified as a future urban interchange. In the
last update to the long-range transportation plan prepared by COMPASS, this urban
interchange improvement was removed from the plan. Eagle Road is a state highway, and
the Idaho Transportation Department has limited plans for improvements to this corridor (i.e.
center islands for access control). There are no planned capacity improvements for this
corridor.
The District also recognizes that the Eagle/Pine intersection is projected to be above an
acceptable planning level capacity. The Idaho Transportation Department does not have
capacity improvements planned for this intersection, and the District does not have the
ability to require such improvements. The Eagle Road legs of this intersection are the
driving factors in the projected level of service. The improvement requirements identified in
other sections of this staff report are intended to improve the Pine Avenue legs of the
intersection.
6 Pinebridge-MPP-07-008/MRZ-07-010/MAZ-07-006
2. Fairview Avenue/Pinebridge Intersection (proposed signalization)
Arterial Street Policy: District policy 7202.5 states that local traffic circulation systems in land
developments should not reduce the efficiency of nearby major streets. The District will consider
full or partial control of driveways, intersection placement and access to protect the efficiency of the
arterial street network.
District Signal Spacing Policy: District policy 7204.11.6 states that the optimum spacing for
collector intersections along arterials is 1,700-feet to allow adequate signal spacing. The minimum
spacing that is acceptable for collector intersections along arterials is 1,300-feet.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a collector roadway, Pinebridge
Avenue, to intersect Fairview Avenue approximately in the center of the site's frontage. The
roadway is proposed to align with a commercial driveway on the north side of the roadway. The
commercial driveway serves a strip mall and a limited number of commercial and retail buildings.
The applicant is proposing to signalize this intersection.
In addition to the submitted traffic impact study, the applicant sought a second analysis of the
proposed Pinebridge/Fairview signalized intersection and its impacts on the Fairview Avenue
corridor. Below is a summary of the analysis prepared by Gary Funkhouser of Stanley Consultants.
• Three scenarios were studied:
o Base scenario assumes that the Fairview Avenue/Pinebridge intersection will not be
constructed.
o Scenario 1 assumes that the Fairivew Avenue/Pinebridge intersection will be
constructed as asignal-controlled intersection.
o Scenario 2 assumes that the Fairview Avenue/Pinebridge intersection will be
constructed as an unsignalized intersection.
• .All three signal coordinate scenarios were analyzed under 2015 PM peak total traffic
conditions. The table below summarizes the arterial average speed estimate for the Fairview
Avenue corridor between Locust Grove Road and Records Avenue by direction. The
average speed is the link distance divided by the travel time including delays. The average
speed for the corridor is approximately 20 mph without the Pinebridge Drive intersection.
With the Pinebridge Drive intersection, the average speed for the corridor is projected to
increase slightly, one mph increase if Pinebridge is signalized and three mph increase for
the westbound direction if unsignalized. The average speed increase with the Pinebridge
intersection is probably due to more platooning and shifting some of the traffic off Locust
Grove and Hickory Avenue.
C cle Len th 90/180 seconds
Eastbound Westbound
Base Scenario 20 20
Scenario 1 21 21
Scenario 2 20 23
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The proposed signalized intersection is located approximately
2,050-feet (0.39 miles) east of the signalized intersection with Locust Grove Road, and
approximately 1,525-feet (0.29 miles) west of the signalized intersection with Hickory Avenue. The
Hickory Avenue/Fairview Avenue signalized intersection is located approximately 1,700-feet west of
the Fairview/Eagle Road signalized intersection. District staff recommends against the approval of
an additional signal on Fairview Avenue for the following reasons:
• The Fairview Avenue Corridor is a critical east-west principal arterial, and modifications to
access control via signalization should be considered in the larger context, not just as it
relates to the access for one particular development and must consider the impacts to the
7 Pinebridge-MPP-07-008/MRZ-07-010/MAZ-07-006
arterial system. A traffic control signal should not be installed if it will seriously disrupt
progressive traffic flow.
• A signal in this location does not provide significant benefits to the north side of Fairview
Avenue (see maps below). Staff believes that if an additional signal where to be installed
along this corridor, that it should provide benefits to both sides of Fairview Avenue.
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) provides guidance for the
installation of traffic signals
o The satisfaction of a traffic signal warrant or warrants shall not in itself require the
installation of a traffic control signal. A traffic control signal should not be installed
unless an engineering study indicates that installing a traffic control signal will
improve the overall safety and/or operation of the intersection.
The following information is provided from the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Access
Management Manual:
o (Table 2-7) A 16% increase in travel time with four signals per mile compared to 2
signals per mile. (3 signals per mile is a 9% increase). Based on that information,
the addition of the proposed signal at the Pinebridge/Fairview intersection would
increase the travel time by approximately 9% on Fairview Avenue.
o Figure 9-3-Several studies have found that the number of crashes and crash rates
increases as the frequency of traffic signals increase.
o Figure 9-2 shows a 20 mph progression speed fora 120 second cycle and 1/3 mile
signal spacing (Fairview is posted 40 mph)
• This would be the only mile segment of Fairview Avenue between Main Street (Meridian)
and Curtis Road (Boise)- a seven mile segment-that would have more than two signals
per mile.
• There are multiple roadway connections into and out of this area, including Pine Street,
Locust Grove Road, Eagle Road, and Fairview Avenue, that provide a multitude of options
for the motorists utilizing this development. (i.e westbound traffic could leave the site via
Shellbrook Street to Locust Grove or Pine Avenue without the need to make a westbound
left turn on Fairview Avenue)
In the review of the Fairview Avenue analysis submitted by Stanley Consultants, District staff
identified that the analysis was based on ideal conditions and not actual conditions. The
speed limits used in the analysis for the intersecting roadways (Locust Grove and Eagle
Road) were incorrect. In addition, the signal cycle lengths for the intersections were not
correct. The District just completed a re-timing of the signal cycles on Eagle Road, and the
cycle lengths that have been implemented are not intended to be altered for that corridor.
The District's signal spacing policy is based on optimum conditions for uniform intersection
spacing and uniform cycle length. The consultant's analysis assumes both of these
conditions; however, it is impossible to achieve the uniform intersection spacing due to the
existing signalized intersections. In addition, a uniform cycle length is also impossible to
achieve due to the needs of the Eagle Road Corridor and particularly the needs of the cycle
length for the Eagle/Fairview intersection. Even slight deviations from these uniform
intersection spacing and cycle lengths results in inefficiencies for the arterial corridor.
• The Fairview Avenue analysis also shows an increase in the travel speed of 2 mph in the
westbound direction (which is the peak direction in the PM) without the signal. The
consultant identifies this as insignificant; however, the signal timing studies that the District
8 Pinebridge-MPP-07-008/MRZ-07-010/MAZ-07-006
has completed in Downtown Meridian, Downtown Boise, and Downtown Eagle do not
support that conclusion. The studies show that the even the slightest increase in travel
speed shows a significant benefit in fuel savings, number of stops, and delay
savings. For example, the District's Eagle Road study showed an increase in northbound
speed from only 24 mph to 26 mph but showed a substantial decrease in travel time and
delay which corresponds to substantial savings for the traveling public. The savings shown
in the report for westbound Fairview Avenue are a decrease in delay from 200 seconds to
166 seconds per vehicle and a decrease in travel time from 413 seconds to 378 seconds
per vehicle.
Commission Hearing and Action: On August 8, 2007, the ACRD Commission heard testimony
from staff, the applicant, and the applicant's traffic engineers. The Commission determined that
approving a signal at this location at this time would be premature and could possibly create
negative impacts to the Fairview Avenue Corridor. The Commission determined that there were a
number factors with unknown outcomes that could substantially impact this site and the surrounding
roadway systems. These factors include the extension of Pine Avenue through the site to Nola
Road, the widening of Locust Grove Road, the new Locust Grove Road intersection, the various
local street connections (Wilson Lane, Hickory Street, etc.), and the Fairview Avenue Corridor
Study.
During the course of the hearing the applicant presented an alternative alignment of the
Pinebridge/Fairview Avenue intersection. The applicant proposed to shift the main roadway to the
west, approximately 265-feet to achieve an alignment with the main driveway for the Oakbrook.
This location creates a more uniform distance between the existing signal, and if the intersection is
signalized in the future, the more westerly alignment is better for signal coordination.
Under the following circumstances, the ACHD Commission may reconsider the future signalization
of the Pinebridge/Fairview Avenue intersection:
• Align the Pinebridge access at Fairview Avenue with main driveway for Oakbrook Plaza (a
shift of approximately 265-feet to the west from the original proposed location)
• The applicant installs at his own cost and risk, signal conduit under the Pinebridge Avenue
roadway.
• All the public street connections in the area are made: Locust Grove overpass, Pine
Avenue to Nola Road, Wilson Lane from the site to Locust Grove Road, and Hickory Street
to Commercial Court.
• The completion of the Fairview Avenue Corridor Study (approximately 18-24 months from
summer of 2007) which may include recommendations for signalized intersections and
access control strategies. Only if findings of the Fairview Avenue Corridor Study are
consistent with the proposal for the signalized intersection, will the applicant be able to
proceed with the request.
Only when all of the above have been completed, will the applicant be able to present before the
Commission again regarding the proposal to signalize the Pinebridge/Fairview Avenue intersection.
If the Commission approves a signal in the future, all of the associated costs (design, materials,
construction, and installation) will be the responsibility of the applicant.
3. Fairview Avenue
Right-of-Way Policy: District policy requires 120-feet of right-of-way for 7-lane principal arterial
roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of--way width allows for the construction of a 7-lane roadway
with curb, gutter, and 5-foot detached sidewalks.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete
sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
9 Pinebridge-MPP-07-008/MRZ-07-010/MAZ-07-006
Staff Comment/Recommendation: Due to the proposed accesses on Fairview Avenue and the
District's plans in the CIP for Fairview Avenue, staff recommends that the applicant construct the
additional third lane of Fairview Avenue abutting the site. A majority of the properties along the
south side of Fairview Avenue between this site and Eagle Road have constructed this third lane.
The construction of the lane is impact fee eligible and the applicant can be reimbursed for the costs.
In addition, the additional lane can serve as an interim deceleration/acceleration lane for the access
points on Fairview Avenue.
The applicant will be required to construct a 7-foot attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete sidewalk
on Fairview Avenue abutting the site.
4. Locust Grove Road
Right-of-Way and Street Section Policy: District policy requires 96-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.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: Locust Grove Road from Nola to Fairview Avenue is currently
under construction. The project is widening the roadway to 5-lanes with vertical curb, gutter, and
sidewalk. No additional improvements to this site's frontage will be required at this time.
5. Pine Avenue
Right-of-Way and Street Section Policy: District policy requires 96-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 is proposing to enter into a cooperative agreement with the
District to dedicate the right-of-way and construct Pine Avenue through the site, from Eagle Road to
Nola Road, as a complete 5-lane roadway. The applicant is proposing a standard 72-foot street
section within 96-feet of right-of-way. The applicant is proposing 5-foot landscape strips and 5-foot
detached sidewalks.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: Pine Avenue is classified as a minor arterial and is identified
in the District's Capital Improvements Plan for widening to a 5-lane section between 2013 and
2017. Staff is supportive of working with the applicant to expedite the construction of this roadway.
The development necessitates the need for atwo-lane arterial roadway through the site. The
District will work with the applicant to negotiate the construction of the complete 5-lane roadway
with vertical curb and gutter, all of which are impact fee eligible improvements.
The applicant's proposal for the roadway design meets District policy with the exception of the 5-
foot landscape strip. If the applicant intends to plant trees within this landscape strip, it will have
been widened to either 6-feet or 8-feet in accordance with the District's interim tree planter policy.
Based on the recommendation in the submitted TIS and in order to mirror the east leg of the
intersection, the District will require right-of-way and construction for Pine Avenue sufficient for 7-
lanes at the intersection with Eagle Road. In order to properly mirror the east leg of the intersection,
the applicant will be responsible for reconstruction of the north side of Pine Avenue abutting the
Blue Cross site. This will involve re-location of the existing curb, gutter, and sidewalk approximately
5 to 7-feet to the north.
In accordance with the submitted TIS, dedicate sufficient right-of-way and construct a separate
right-turn lane on the eastbound Pine Avenue approach to Eagle Road.
10 Pinebridge-MPP-07-008/MRZ-07-010/MAZ-07-006
6. Pine Avenue/Hickory Avenue Intersection
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The submitted TIS identifies the need to signalize the
intersection of Pine Avenue and Hickory Avenue. This intersection is located approximately 2,000-
feet west of Eagle Road, and staff supports the signalization if the applicant extends a public street
(Hickory Avenue, as a commercial street) south of Pine Avenue to serve the south side of the
roadway to intersect Commercial Court. This will provide public street access to the signalized
intersection of Pine/Eagle for the properties on the south side of Commercial Court. The applicant
will be responsible for the design, materials, construction, and installation of the signal at this
intersection. The District will require that the applicant install the conduit and poles at the time of
construction; however, the mast arms and signal heads will be installed by the District when the
signal meets traffic warrants. The applicant should pay for the cost of all of the signal equipment at
the time the poles are installed.
7. Locust Grove Road/Shellbrook Street Intersection
Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing a collector street, Shellbrook Street, to intersect
Locust Grove Road in alignment with an existing local street on the west side of Locust Grove
Road. In a technical review meeting with staff, the applicant discussed the possibility of signalizing
this intersection in the future.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The submitted traffic impact study did not identify the need for
a signal in this location, and staff is not supportive of a signal at this intersection. Therefore, staff
recommends that Shellbrook Street be shifted south to intersect Locust Grove Road between the
two local streets on the west side of Locust Grove Road. This will create a T-type intersection with
Locust Grove Road.
8. Commercial Court
Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to utilize Commercial Court for access to Eagle
Road and for site circulation. Commercial Court is an existing private roadway. Based on the
previous application, Commercial Court is approved only for aright-in/right-out access to Eagle
Road.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: Commercial Court was constructed as a private roadway and
was not constructed to ACHD standards. The applicant has discussed the possibility of converting
Commercial Court to a public roadway. Based on previous proposals and research conducted by
ACHD staff, significant re-construction of the roadway and drainage system would have to occur
prior to the District considering accepting the roadway as public. The applicant would be required
to follow the District's Interim Policy for converting the roadway to public standards if the applicant
desires the roadway to be public.
Staff recommends that the City and ITD require the applicant to install a center median on Eagle
Road to restrict Commercial Court to right-in/right-out.
9. Roundabouts
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed two roundabouts within the development. One
at the intersection of State Street/Pinebridge Avenue and one at the intersection of Pinebridge
Avenue/Pine Avenue.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The submitted TIS states that a detailed roundabout
evaluation will be submitted for these intersections. The District has not received such an
evaluation and is unable to approve the roundabouts at this time. Staff is conceptually supportive of
the roundabout locations; however, more information is needed before granting specific approval for
this traffic control device. Staff recommends that the detailed analysis be required prior to design
11 Pinebridge-MPP-07-008/MRZ-07-010/MAZ-07-006
and construction of the intersections or signature of a final plat. If the staff review of the analysis
determines that a roundabout is not appropriate, further analysis will be required to determine the
appropriate intersection control prior to design and construction of the intersections or signature of a
final plat.
10. Internal Streets
Collector Roadway Policy: District policy 72-F1 B requires collector roadways to be constructed as
46-foot street sections with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot detached (or 7-foot attached) concrete
sidewalks within 70-feet of right-of-way. This street section allows for the construction of a 3-lane
roadway with bike lanes.
Commercial Roadway Policy: District policy requires 54-feet of right-of--way on
industrial/commercial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a
3-lane roadway (40-foot street section) with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks.
Island Policy: District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 require islands to be constructed a minimum of 4-
feet wide with a minimum area of 100-square feet and designed to safely channel traffic. The
roadway on either side of the traffic island should maintain a minimum of a 21-foot street section.
Applicant Proposal (Internal streets): The applicant has proposed to construct the following
internal roadways as collector roadways with standard 46-foot street sections with vertical curb,
gutter, and 7-foot attached sidewalks:
• Pinebridge Avenue-includes center landscape islands with 21-foot street sections
on either side
• Shellbrook Street
• E. State Avenue
• Webb Avenue
• Machine Avenue
• Wilson Lane
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal for the internal street sections meets
District policy. State Avenue, Webb Avenue, Machine Avenue, and Wilson Lane may be
constructed as 40-foot commercial roadways within 54-feet of right-of-way complete with vertical
curb, gutter and sidewalk.
In discussions with District staff, the applicant has agreed to re-design the large extended center
island within Shellbrook Street to more clearly direct the public traffic. The island is intended to
accommodate the community center and associated facilities for the multi-family development.
With the re-design there will no longer be a public street on the northern side of the island.
11. Access/Driveways-Fairview Avenue, Pine Avenue, and Locust Grove
Access Management Policy: District policy 7207.8 states that direct access to arterials and
collectors is normally restricted. The developer shall try to use combined access points. If the
developer can show that the use of a combined access point to a collector or arterial street is
impractical, the District may consider direct access points. Access points for proposed
developments at intersections should be located as far from the intersection as practical, and in no
case closer than as illustrated on Figure 72-F4, unless a waiver for the access point has been
approved by the District Commission.
Successive Driveway Policy: District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or
arterial roadways with a speed limit of 40 to align or offset a minimum of 185-feet from any existing
or proposed driveway.
12 Pinebridge-MPP-07-008/MRZ-07-010/MAZ-07-006
Width and Design Policy: District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic
volumes over 1,000 vehicles to a maximum width of 36-feet. Most commercial driveways will be
constructed as curb-cut type facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with 15-
foot radii will be required for driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
Applicant Proposal for Fairview Avenue Drivewavs: The applicant has proposed two full access
driveways on Fairview Avenue in addition to the proposed street intersection (Pinebridge Avenue).
The first driveway is located at the east property line, approximately 100-feet east of an existing
driveway on the south side of the roadway. The second driveway on Fairview Avenue is located at
the west property line 190-feet west of a proposed driveway on the south side of the roadway.
Staff Comment/Recommendation for Fairview Avenue Driveways: Due to the District's
access management policy, the widening plan for Fairview Avenue, and the location of the
proposed driveways, staff recommends the two proposed driveways on Fairview Avenue be
approved as right-in/right-out only driveways. The applicant should be required to install a
6-inch raised concrete median on Fairview Avenue to prevent the left-in/left-out turning
movements.
Applicant Proposal for Pine Avenue Drivewavs: The applicant has proposed six driveways on
the south side of Pine Avenue and two driveways on the north side of Pine Avenue. The first
driveway on Pine Avenue is proposed to be a right-in/right-out turn located approximately 250-feet
west of Eagle Road. The second driveway is proposed in alignment with Rosario Street. The third
driveway on the south side of Pine Avenue is proposed approximately 125-feet east of the
Pinebridge/Pine roundabout intersection. There are three driveways proposed on the south side of
Pine between Webb Avenue and Nola Road.
The first proposed driveway on the north side of Pine Avenue is in alignment with Machine Avenue.
The second proposed driveway on the north side of Pine is located approximately 180-feet west of
the first proposed driveway.
Staff Comment/Recommendation for Pine Avenue Driveways: District staff is supportive
of the applicant's proposal for only two driveways on the south side of Pine between Eagle
Road and Hickory Avenue. The location of the right-in/right-out driveway should be shifted
west if the access is located within the required right-turn lane of the intersection. The
applicant should coordinate the design of the intersection and the access location with
District Traffic Services and Planning Review staff. If Blue Cross re-locates their driveway
(on the north side of Pine Avenue) further west from the Pine/Eagle intersection, the
applicant may align with that access in order to have afull-access driveway.
Staff is supportive of the proposed full-access driveway in alignment with Rosario Street
Staff is supportive of one full-access driveway on the south side of Pine centered between
the Pinebridge/Pine roundabout and the Pine/Newbridge intersection.
Staff is supportive of one full-access driveway on the south side of Pine centered between
the Nola/Pine intersection and the Pine/Pinebridge roundabout.
Staff is supportive of the full access driveway on the north side of Pine in alignment with
Machine Avenue.
Staff is supportive of one full access driveway on the north side of Pine in alignment with
Newbridge Place.
13 Pinebridge-MPP-07-008/MRZ-07-010/MAZ-07-006
Applicant Proposal for Locust Grove Road Driveways• Other than the Shellbrook Street
intersection (in alignment with Shellbrook on the west side of Locust Grove), the applicant has not
proposed any driveways on Locust Grove Road.
Staff Comment/Recommendation for Locust Grove Driveways: Staff is supportive of
the applicant's proposal for no direct lot access to Locust Grove with this application.
12. Access/Driveways-Pinebridge Avenue, Shellbrook Street, and locals
Successive Driveway Policy (Pinebridge and Shellbrook): District policy 72-F5, requires
driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of 30 to align or offset a
minimum of 125-feet from any existing or proposed driveway.
Local Streets (State, Webb, Machine, and Wilson): District policy 72-F4 (1) and 72-F4 (2),
requires driveways located on commercial/industrial roadways to offset a controlled and/or
uncontrolled intersection a minimum of 50-feet (measured near edge to near edge).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The driveways on the following roadways should be located in
accordance with District policy:
• Pinebridge Avenue
• Shellbrook Street
• E. State Avenue
• Webb Avenue
• Machine Avenue
• Wilson Lane
13. Stub Streets
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7203.5.1 states that the street design in a proposed development
shall cause no undue hardship to adjoining property. An adequate and convenient access to
adjoining property for use in future development may be required. If a street ends at the
development boundary, it shall meet the requirements of sub section 7205, "non-continuous
streets." District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be required to provide intra-neighborhood
circulation or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the
requirements described in Section 7204.5, 7204.6 and 7204.7, 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."
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to extend one stub street from the east (E. State
Street) and two from the south (Webb Avenue and Machine Avenue). The applicant is proposing
one new stub street to the west (Wilson Lane).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal for extending existing stub streets
and constructing one new stub street meets District policy and should be approved with this
application.
14. 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.
