Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: Direction Land Use Zonin North Residential (Observation Point) & Commercial Double D & Nurse C-G, R-4 & RUT South Undeveloped (Future Reflection Ridge 8~ ravel it RUT East Residential R-8 West Residential R-6 3. Existing Roadway Improvements and Right-of-Way Adjacent To and Near the Site: Victory Road currently has 2 traffic lanes, and no curb gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There are three lanes on Victory Road at its intersection with Meridian Road (SH 69), and there is curb, gutter, and detached concrete sidewalk abutting the Victory Greens Nursery site. There is approximately 75-feet of right-of--way existing for Victory Road. Meridian Road (SH 69) currently has 4 traffic lanes, a center turn lane, and no curb, gutter, or sidewalk abutting the site. Meridian Road is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department. 4. .Existing Access: There is an existing access on Victory Road to serve the existing home. 5. Site History: ACRD previously reviewed this site as Tanana Valley Subdivision in April 2006. Development Impacts 6. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to 12,975 additional vehicle trips per day based on the submitted traffic impact study. 7. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any building permits. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that time. 8. Impacted Roadways: Roadway Frontage Functional Classification Traffic Count Level of Service* Speed Limit Victory Road 3,203' Minor Arterial 6,495 east of Better than 45 MPH Meridian on 4/24/07 "C" Meridian Road 2,368' Principal Arterial 30,018 north of Better than 55 MPH (SH 69) Victory on 6/1/07 "C" *Acceptable level of service for atwo-lane minor arterial roadway is "D" (14,000 ADT). *Acceptable level of service for afive-lane principal arterial roadway is "E" (37,000 ADT). 9. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program There are currently no roadways, bridges or intersections in the general vicinity of the project that are currently in the Five Year Work Program or the Districts Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). 2 Cavanaugh Subdivision B. Findings for Consideration Traffic Impact Study The applicant retained Thompson Engineers to prepare a traffic impact study. Below are the principal findings, conclusions, and recommendations of that study. The site will generate 12,975 new trips per day. Of these, 658 trips will occur during the AM Peak hour and 753 trips will occur during the PM Peak hour. The intersection at Rumple Lane/Harris Street and Meridian Road will fail to operate at an acceptable LOS under background PM peak hour traffic conditions. By expanding this intersection to provide left turn lanes at the west bound and eastbound approaches, and installing a traffic signal, this intersection can function at an acceptable LOS through the total PM peak hour traffic conditions in 2012. Previous traffic studies have identified this intersection as an intersection for mitigation by year 2011 due to other development. This intersection meets signal warrants 1, 2, and 3 under background PM peak hour traffic conditions. • Based on ACRD turn warrant standards, a southbound right turn lane is warranted on Meridian Road at the intersection with Harris Street under background PM peak hour traffic conditions in 2012. If a traffic signal is installed at this intersection, turn warrants may change. • The intersection at Meridian Road and Victory Road is anticipated to operate near capacity under total PM peak hour traffic conditions. By coordinating signals on Meridian Road, this intersection will operate at LOS D through total PM peak hour traffic conditions in 2012. The intersection at Victory Road and Standing Timber Avenue will require a traffic signal to function at an acceptable LOS under total PM peak hour traffic conditions. By expanding the intersection, constructing left turn lanes at every approach, and by installing a traffic signal, this intersection will function at an acceptable LOS through total PM peak hour traffic conditions in 2012. This intersection meets signal warrants 1, 2, and 3 undertotal PM peak hour traffic conditions in 2012. • The proposed access on Victory Road will require a center left turn lane on the Victory Road to function at an acceptable LOS under total PM peak hour traffic conditions. • A northbound right turn lane is warranted on Meridian Road at the intersection with Rumple Lane under total PM peak hour conditions. If a traffic signal is installed at this intersection , turn warrants may change. • Curb, gutter, and sidewalk are recommended along Victory Road and the internal streets and stub roads of the development to accommodate pedestrian and school children traffic and provide connectivity to future developments. Staff Comment/Recommendations: Traffic impact study comments are provided by District Traffic Services department. • There are several streets within the subdivision that are quite long and could create speeding issues. 3 Cavanaugh Subdivision • The consultant has produced a trip capture percentage with no basis or documentation to support it. The consultant will need to provide the appropriate documentation to support the trip capture percentage or revise the TIS to reflect a new percentage of trip capture with supporting documentation. Staff is not in supportive of a traffic signal at the intersection of VictorylStanding Timber at this time. The delay at the intersection is only slightly over LOS F (62.1 seconds). LOS F is 50 seconds. The distance from SH-69 intersection is 1900-feet. The location could potentially increase cut through traffic from SH-69. Additionally, the TIS included traffic counts taken while Overland Road was under construction. The District may consider this location for a signal in the future. 2. Meridian Road (SH 69) Meridian Road is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department. The City of Meridian, the applicant and ITD should work together to determine if additional right-of-way or improvements are necessary on Meridian Road (SH 69). The applicant is proposing an access on Meridian Road at the half-mile in alignment with Harris Street on the west side of the roadway. 3. Victory Road Street Section and Right-of-Way 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. 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). Staff CommenflRecommendation: The applicant will be required to dedicate a total of 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Victory Road (or 38-feet from centerline with the sidewalk in an easement) abutting the parcel by means of a warranty deed. The right-of-way purchase and sale agreement and deed must be completed and signed by the applicant prior to scheduling the final plat for signature by the ACHD Commission or prior to issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first. Allow up to 30 business days to process the right-of--way dedication after receipt of all requested material. The owner will be paid the fair market value of the right-of--way dedicated which is an addition to existing ACRD right-of--way. The applicant will be required to construct a 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site on Victory Road located a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of the roadway. The District recommends that the applicant construct a 5-foot concrete sidewalk across the two out- parcels along Victory Road on either side of the proposed school site. This sidewalk should either be constructed within the existing right-of-way or within an easement provided by the property owners. The applicant will be required to construct an eastbound right turn lane and a westbound left turn lane on Victory Road into the site at the intersection with Standing Timber Way. The applicant should be required to dedicate the additional right-of-way necessary for the turn lanes without compensation. The widening of Victory Road for the auxiliary turn lanes may necessitate the widening of the bridge west of the proposed entrance road. If the bridge widening is necessary to construct the pavement tapers required for the turn lanes the applicant shall be required to design and construct the bridge widening at that time. Additionally, the applicant will be required to construct a left turn lane on Victory Road at the commercial site entrance (S. Enter Way). 4 Cavanaugh Subdivision Due to the required eastbound right-turn lane necessary to serve the development and the need to accommodate drainage, the applicant may need to dedicate additional right-of-way and construct additional street improvements abutting the right-turn lane. If the applicant is unable to fit a minimum 8-foot wide barrow ditch and 3-foot wide gravel shoulder between the edge of pavement and the face of sidewalk due to right-of-way constraints, then the applicant may need to construct vertical curb, gutter, and sidewalk abutting the eastbound right turn lane. Or as an alternative, the applicant may need to move the sidewalk back and dedicate additional right-of-way to allow for the construction of a barrow ditch wide enough to accommodate the drainage. An easement will need to be provided for any segment of the sidewalk located outside of the right-of-way. Coordinate the design of the drainage facility with District Design Review staff. 4. Commercial Entry Roadways Right-of-Way and Street Section 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 with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks. Roundabout Policy: The roundabout should be designed with 21-foot street sections on either side of the center island. The applicant will be required to dedicate sufficient right-of-way on either side of an island. Coordinate the size and design of the roundabout with traffic services staff. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct one commercial entry road, S. Enter Way, (intersecting Victory) as a 40-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalk within 54-feet of right-of-way. S. Enter Way is proposed to be located approximately 670-feet (measured property line to centerline) east of Meridian Road. The applicant has proposed to construct roundabout a on each of the main commercial roadways. The first roundabout, located on S. Enter Way, is proposed to be located approximately 250-feet south of the north property line. Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal for S. Enter Way meets District policy. Coordinate the ultimate location and design of the roundabout with District Traffic Services staff. 5. Internal Public Street (Commercial) Commercial Street Section and Right-of-way 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 with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks. Local Street Section and Right-of-way Policy: District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1-acre in size will typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-feet with curb, gutter and sidewalks. The total street width shall be 36-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. Variations of this width may be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the development. Concrete sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated from the curb 5-feet or more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width. Diagonal Parking policy: District policy 5104.3.5 requirements for consideration of diagonal on- street parking is that the parking is common in the area, existing activities have not feasible possibility of accommodating demand by obtaining adequate parking by off-street parking and a parallel curb parking, a hold harmless agreement is prepared and executed by the proponent of the parking and indicated that the diagonal parking may be required to be removed at the discretion of the Ada County Highway District. 5 Cavanaugh Subdivision Design Guidelines 45 Degree Parking Minimum Street Type Typical Buffer* Stall Dimension Lane Dimension Centerline or Width Lane Line to Curb Face Arterial 12' 15-20' 15' 42' - 47' Collector 11' 10-15' 15' 36 - 41' Local 10' 5-10' 15' 30 - 35' *Distance based on speed, volume, and other general characteristics of street. Add additional 5- feet to dimensions if bike lane is needed. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct the internal commercial roadway as follows: • S. Entry Way, E. View Water St, and S. Thisa Way, and E. Boardwalk Row between Thisa Way and Standing Timber Way are proposed to be constructed as a 46-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached sidewalk within 54-feet of right-of-way. • E. Summer Walk Way, is proposed to be constructed a 36-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way. • E. Boardwalk Row from S. Enter Way east approximately 250-feet is proposed to be constructed with 11.5-foot travel lanes, 19-foot diagonal parking lanes, vertical curb, gutter and concrete sidewalk within 75-feet of right-of--way. • E. Boardwalk Row from S. Thisa Way west approximately 180-feet is proposed to be construct with 11.5-foot travel lanes, 19-foot diagonal parking lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and concrete sidewalk within 75-feet of right-of-way. • The remainder of E. Boardwalk Row is proposed to be constructed with 13-foot travel lanes, 20-foot perpendicular parking, vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot concrete sidewalk within 119- feet of right-of-way. Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposals meet District policy with the exception of the proposed street section on E. Boardwalk Row, which includes the perpendicular parking. Staff is not supportive of the perpendicular parking in this location. The applicant can either construct this segment of E. Boardwalk Row with diagonal parking similar to what has been proposed on the remainder of the roadway, or eliminate the on street parking in that location. The diagonal parking will need to meet the District's 45 Degree parking requirements. 6. Driveways Access 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. 6 Cavanaugh Subdivision Driveway Location Policy: 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). Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.9.1, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7207.9.3 restricts 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's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct one right-in ONLY driveway to intersect Victory Road, located approximately 1,250-feet (measured property line to near edge) east of Meridian Road. This driveway will provide access to a commercial drive aisle. The applicant has proposed several driveways located off the proposed internal commercial roadways to serve the proposed commercial development. The first driveways are located off of S. Entry Way and the commercial driveway are approximately 100-feet south of Victory Road. Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District Policy. The applicant will be required to coordinate the exact location, design, and signage for the right-in ONLY driveway with District Traffic Services staff. The applicant will be required to pave the driveways there full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge. Commercial driveways are restricted to a maximum width of 36-feet. 7. Private Streets/Commercial Drive Aisles Private Street Policy: District policy 7205.6, other jurisdictions in Ada County establish the requirements for private streets. The District retains authority and will review the proposed intersection of a private and public street for compliance with District intersection policies and standards. Applicant's proposal: The applicant has proposed one private street/commercial drive aisle (originally Thisa Way) to be constructed within the development. The roadway would intersect Victory Road as a right-in ONLY driveway located approximately 1,250-feet east of Meridian Road. This private drive aisle continues south approximately 450-feet where it intersects a roundabout. Thisa Way then continues south of the roundabout as a public commercial roadway. Staff Comment/Recommendation: If the City of Meridian approves the private road, the applicant shall be required to pave the private roadway a minimum of 20 to 24-feet wide and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of Victory Road and install pavement tapers with 15-foot curb radii abutting the existing roadway edge. Street name and stop signs are required for the private road. The signs may be ordered through the District. Verification of the correct, approved name of the road is required. ACHD does not make any assurances that the private road, which is a part of this application, will be accepted as a public road if such a request is made in the future. Substantial redesign and reconstruction costs may be necessary in order to qualify this road for public ownership and maintenance. 7 Cavanaugh Subdivision The following requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the roadway to ACRD: Dedicate a minimum of 50-feet of right-of--way for the road. Construct the roadway to the minimum ACRD requirements. Construct a stub street to the surrounding parcels. s. Entry Roads (Residential Collector) Street Section & Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 72-F1A, 7202.3.2 and 7202.3.5, requires that residential collectors be constructed as 36-foot street sections with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks with no front-on housing. The access restrictions for these street segments should be stated on the final plat. Unless otherwise noted, parking should be prohibited on these street segments. Coordinate the signage Program with District staff. 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. The design should be reviewed and approved by ACHD's Development staff. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the entrance road, Standing Timber Way (intersecting Victory) as a residential collector from its intersection with Victory through the site to the south property line crossing the Ridenbaugh Canal. The street is proposed as a boulevard style with a 27-foot wide island and 21-foot street sections on each side of the island within 75-feet of right-of-way. The applicant has proposed 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalks along the residential collector located outside of the right-of-way. The applicant is proposing the entrance road, Harris Street (intersecting Meridian Road), as residential collector. The applicant is proposing the entrance road, Harris Street (intersecting Meridian Road), as residential collector. This street is proposed to be a 33-foot street section with no front-on housing. Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal for Standing Timber Way meets District policy. The applicant will be required to re-design the center island to not exceed 12-feet in width at the intersection of Standing Timber Way & Victory and to allow for simultaneous left and right turns (eastbound and westbound) on Standing Timber Way. Breaks in the center landscape islands may be needed to allow left and right turns where additional access is needed. Adequate site distance will need to be maintained at the breaks to allow safe turn movements. Harris Street will be required to be constructed as a standard residential collector with a 36-foot street section from its intersection with Meridian Road to its intersection with the stub street being extended from Reflection Ridge (Standing Timber Way). The 36-foot street section would include vertical curb, gutter, and sidewalk on the north side of the roadway and a gravel shoulder and barrow ditch on the south. The 36-foot street section is needed at the intersection of Harris Street and Meridian Road to allow simultaneous left and right turns out of the development. (See Finding #13 and #14 below). 9. Internal Public Streets (Residential) Street Sections and Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 72-F1A, allows local residential public roads with a 33-foot street section with parking on both sides of the roadway, if the amount of vehicle trips per day on the street does not exceed 1,000 and the appropriate fire department reviews and approves the street section. The proposed density of development that will utilize the internal local residential streets is anticipated to generate less than 1,000 vehicle trips per day. 8 Cavanaugh Subdivision Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the internal local streets as 33-foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter, 4-foot detached concrete sidewalks and 5-foot planter strips within 50-feet of right-of-way. Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District policy with the exception of the 4-foot sidewalks. The applicant will be required to construct 5-foot detached sidewalks. The applicant will be required to receive written approval from the Meridian Fire Department for the reduced street section. The applicant will not be required to construct Illuminate Street, which is proposed to run in between Intelligence Street and Infinity Street. These roadways will be adequately served by the extension of Mesa Way south of Victory Road. 10. Alleys Alley Policy: District policy 7204.10.1 requires the minimum right-of-way width for new alleys to be 16-feet if: the alley is abutted by residential uses and zoning on both sides; and building setbacks required by the land use agency having jurisdiction provide sufficient space for the safe backing of vehicles into the alley; and 20-feet in all other situations. Dedication of clear title to the right-of-way and the improvement of the right-of-way, and acceptance of the improvement by the District as meeting its construction standards, are required for all alleys contained in a proposed development. Access Policy: Access is allowed to and from a fully improved alley (District policy 7204.10.2). Parking shall be designed so the minimum clear distance from the back of the parking stall to the opposite side of the alley is 22-feet for perpendicular parking. An access to an alley shall be located a minimum of 25-feet from the nearest public street. Intersection Policy: District Policy 7204.10.3 states a minimum of back-of-curb radius of 15-feet is required at all alley intersections. Design Policy: District policy 7202.6 states that alleys shall connect to a public street at each end and shall not terminate in dead-ends. Alleys with curves are not allowed without specific District approval taken on good cause shown. Curves shall have a minimum inside radius of 26-feet. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct two 20-foot alleys between S. Koluna Avenue and S. Kamivar Avenue in phase one of the development and two 16-foot alleys between blocks 24 and 25 and blocks 26 and 27 in the commercial section of the development. All of the alleys are straight and intersect a public street at both ends. Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should be approved with this application. 11. Entry Road (Local Residential in alignment with Mesa Way) Policy: District policy 7203.4.2 states "if a proposed development abuts an unpaved street or streets the developer shall construct one-half of the full street improvements, including curb, gutter and concrete sidewalk plus additional pavement widening beyond the centerline established for the street to provide a minimum 24-feet wide paved surface. A 3-foot wide gravel shoulder and a drainage swale sized to accommodate the roadway storm runoff shall be constructed on the unimproved side. This street section shall be constructed within a minimum 40-foot right-of--way. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct a half street section in alignment with Mesa Way on the south side of Victory Road. This half street will provide access to the school site and additional access for residents of the development. Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District policy. The proposed half street will provide adequate access to the school site while preserving the functionality and 9 Cavanaugh Subdivision safety of the internal residential streets. This roadway will be required to be constructed as one-half of a 36-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot concrete sidewalk on the west side, a minimum of 24-feet of pavement, and a 3-foot gravel shoulder and adequately sized barrow ditch on the east side of the roadway. This road will be required to be within a minimum 40-foot of right- of-way. If the applicant cannot achieve an alignment with Mesa Way on the north side of the roadway, the applicant should re-design this portion of the site to provide another local street access for the school site. The street should meet District intersection offset policies. In addition, the half-street is proposed to located adjacent to the Grange property, and District staff does not believe that the parcel would need this type of local street for re-development and access purposes. The Grange property already has a stub street from Tuscany Village and one stub street from this site. 12. Roadway Offsets Access 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. Access 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. Offset Policy: District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300-feet from an arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline). District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from a residential collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline). District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline). Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the main entrance roadway, Standing Timber Way intersecting Victory Road, in alignment with Standing Timber Way (Observation Point Subdivision) on the north side of Victory Road. In addition the applicant has proposed one commercial roadways to intersect Victory Road. S. Enter Way is proposed to be located approximately 670-feet (measured property line to centerline) east of Meridian Road. The applicant has proposed to construct ahalf-street section in alignment with Mesa Way on the north side of Victory Road at the east property line. Staff CommenURecommendation: The applicant's proposals meet for Standing Timber Way, S. Enter Way, and S. Mesa Way meet District Policy, as they align with previously approved roadways on the north side of Victory Road. With the recent approval of Emerson Park Subdivision, the location of Emerson Street was approved on the north side of Victory Road. Based on the submitted preliminary plats S. Enter Way and Emerson Street should align. The applicant will be required to align S. Enter Way centerline to centerline with Emerson Street on the north side of 10 Cavanaugh Subdivision Victory Road. Coordinate the ultimate location of the roadway with Tim Mussell or Toothman-Orton Engineering. 13. Stub Streets 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 is proposing to extend or connect to several surrounding proposed or existing stub streets. They are as follows: • Extending a stub street from the east and from the south from within Tuscany Village Subdivision. • Constructing a new stub street to the south to an undeveloped parcel. • Extending a stub street from the east from within Reflection Ridge Subdivision. Staff CommentlRecommendation: The applicant's proposals meet District policy. 14. Signal at Harris Street & Meridian Road (SH 69) The submitted TIS states that a signal is warranted at the site access (Harris Street) intersection with Meridian Road (SH69). Harris Street is located at the half-mile, and this location meets the requirements of the City of Meridian's Unified Development Code for an access location. The applicant should be required to provide a road trust deposit with the District for one-half of the cost for the design and construction of the signal. When the property on the west side of Meridian Road develops, they can utilize the road trust deposit funds to construct the signal at that time OR at the time when ITD approves a signal in that location. Depending on the signal design, Harris Street may need to be wider at is intersection with Meridian Road. 15. Rumpel Lane There is an existing private lane, Rumpel Lane, located at this site's south property line that intersects Meridian Road generally in alignment with Harris Street on the west side of the roadway.
