12.The Institute of Transportation publication "Guidelines for Planning and
Designing Access Systems for Shopping Centers states that a shopping
center of this magnitude shall be constructed with a ring road or frontage
road near the circumference of the site to expedite the movement of on-site
traffic. That consideration is especially important in this situation because
of the great distances from some parts of the center to the two signalized
intersections with the arterial system. The applicant shall be required to
revise the site plan to provide internal site circulation equivalent to a public
street system to ensure that intra-site circulation does not use the public
street system to circulate through the adjacent subdivision to gain access to
the signalized intersections on Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue. The on-
site system shall roughly parallel Fairview Avenue and Eagle Road but shall
not be located immediately in front of the stores. Opening of access aisles
located 100-feet or more away from and parallel with Fairview Avenue and
Eagle Road will fulfill this requirement. The access aisles shall be as direct
as possible and provide a means of driving a vehicle from Records Drive to
Pine Avenue without interruption except at the major driveways into the
site and at Presidential Drive. Coordinate the internal roadway design with
District staff.
13.In order to reduce trips to and from this development it is recommended
that tenants occupying the proposed building consider formation of an
Alternative Transportation Program.
14.In order to reduce trips to and from this development, the tenants
occupying the proposed building(s) are urged to participate in any

Eagle/Fairview intersection when the site development reaches 450,000
GSF.
16.The applicant shall be required to construct the needed improvements to
create dual left-turn lanes on the two Eagle Road approaches of the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND
ORDER GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 22
Eagle/Pine intersection. These improvements are not needed immediately.
The noted improvement is required when the site development is started
south of Presidential Drive. The northbound left-turn lanes are not directly
usable by the development. However, they may reduce congestion caused
by trips to/from the development by providing for conflicting movements.
17.The applicant shall be required to construct deceleration tapers at each of
the driveways on Eagle Road.
18.The applicant shall be required to construct right-turn lanes on all legs of
the Fairview Avenue/Eagle Road intersection at the time the development

development (See 4. below).
The right-of-way shall be dedicated 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.
22.Dedicate sufficient right-of-way abutting Eagle Road for the future Eagle
Road Interchange. Coordinate the right-of-way requirements with District
staff. The right-of-way is generally described as being a minimum of 226-
feet wide (113-feet east of centerline) from Fairview Avenue south for 600-
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND
ORDER GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 23
feet.
23.Dedicate sufficient fight-of-way abutting Fairview Avenue for the future
Eagle Road interchange. Coordinate the fight-of-way requirements with
District staff. The right-of-way is generally described as being a minimum

Adopt the Meridian Fire Department's Recommendations as follows:
11.
Applicants shall satisfy all fire code requirements including those
pertaining to water supply systems and fire hydrants and obtain
approval from all departments.
Adopt the Ada County Highway District Recommendations as follows (note:
these are the recommendations proposed in 1998 and which ACHD
recommend apply to this project:
12.
The Institute of Transportation publication "Guidelines for Planning
and Designing Access Systems for Shopping Centers states that a
shopping center of this magnitude should be constructed with a ring
road or frontage road near the circumference of the site to expedite the
movement of on-site traffic. That consideration is especially important
in this situation because of the great distances from some parts of the
center to the two signalized intersections with the arterial system. The
applicant should be required to revise the site plan to provide internal
site circulation equivalent to a public street system to ensure that intra-
site circulation does not use the public street system to circulate
through the adjacent subdivision to gain access to the signalized
intersections on Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue. The on-site system
should roughly parallel Fairview Avenue and Eagle Road but should not
be located immediately in front of the stores. Opening of access aisles
located 100-feet or more away from and parallel with Fairview Avenue
and Eagle Road will fulfill this requirement. The access aisles should be
as direct as possible and provide a means of driving a vehicle from
Records Drive to Pine Avenue without interruption except at the major
driveways into the site and at Presidential Drive. Coordinate the
internal roadway design with District staff.
13.
In order to reduce trips to and from this development it is
recommended that tenants occupying the proposed building consider
formation of an Alternative Transportation Program.
14.
In order to reduce trips to and from this development, the tenants
occupying the proposed building(s) are urged to participate in any

Eagle/Pine intersection. These improvements are not needed
immediately. The noted improvement is required when the site
development is started south of Presidential Drive. The northbound
left-tm lanes are not directly usable by the development. However,
they may reduce congestion caused by trips to/from the development
by providing for conflicting movements.
The applicant should be required to construct deceleration tapers at
each of the driveways on Eagle Road.
The applicant should be required to construct right-turn lanes on all legs
of the Fairview Avenue/Eagle Road intersection at the time the
development reaches 450,000 GSF.
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. Other than Pine Avenue, Presidential
Drive and the driveway opposite Florence Street, prohibit any driveway
access to Eagle Road.

east boundary of the development (See 4. below).
The right-of-way should be dedicated 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.
Dedicate sufficient right-of-way abutting Eagle Road for the future
Eagle Road Interchange. Coordinate the right-of-way requirements with
District staff. The right-of-way is generally described as being a
minimum of 226-feet wide (113-feet east of centefline) from Fairview

Dedicate 76-feet of right-of-way (38-feet from the centefline) 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 centefline)
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 building permit (or other required
permits), whichever occurs first. The owner will not be compensated
for this right-of-way because Records Drive is a local street.
Prior to beginning a phase of the development that exceeds 450,000
gross square feet, construct the needed improvements to create dual left-
turn lanes on the two Fairview Avenue approaches of the Eagle/Fairview
intersection and fight-turn lanes on all legs of the intersection. The
developer will be allowed to offset the cost of the two left turn lanes on
the Fairview Avenue legs of the intersection from the impact fee to be
collected for the development.
