Chinden Blvd (SH-20/26) is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department.
• Locust Grove Road is currently improved with 2 traffic lanes, and no curb, gutter or sidewalk
near the site. There is 70-feet of right-of-way existing for Locust Grove Road (35-feet from
centerline).
• The intersection of Locust Grove and Chinden is striped for 3-lanes at the north and east
approaches and signalized.
4. Existing Access: There is no defined access point to this property.
5. Site History: ACRD previously reviewed this site as a comprehensive plan amendment in
October 2007.
Development Impacts
6. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 2.,321 additional vehicle trips
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.

2 Three Corners/MPP-07-021/MAZ-07-017
B. Findings for Consideration
1. Traffic Impact Study
Below is an executive summary of the submitted traffic impact study prepared by Dobie
Engineering:
• The proposed site access includes 2all-movement access to Locust Grove Road. No Direct
access to Chinden (US 20/26) is proposed.
• The US 20/26 intersection with Locust Grove Road now operates with moderate traffic
congestion and ATD volumes are approaching the highway capacity of US 20/26.
• The proposed site access will conform to acceptable traffic capacity standards. The
average queue for vehicles exiting the site will be less than 1 vehicle and the queue back-up
extending south from the Chinden signal will not block either of the site access.
• The site access will not generate sufficient turning traffic to warrant aright-turn deceleration
lane on Locust Grove Road. The left-lane warrants are met for the business park and
school site.
• The Chinden/Locust Grove intersection will exceed the capacity of the existing lane
geometry by 2015, and through lane improvements will be needed to accommodate regional
traffic growth as identified in the COMPASS Long Range Transportation Plan.
Recommendations
• A two-way left-turn lane will need to b on Locust Grove Road at the main subdivision
entrance (East Three Corners Trail) and the school site to accommodate projected traffic.
The existing northbound LT should be extended as a TWLTL to south of the school
entrance.
2. US 20/26 _Chinden Boulevard
US 20/26 -Chinden Blvd is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: US 20/26 -Chinden Blvd is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho
Transportation Department (ITD). The applicant, the City of Meridian, and ITD should work
together to determine if additional right-of-way or improvements are necessary on US 20/26 -
Chinden Blvd. District staff would not be supportive of direct lot access to US 20/26 -Chinden
Blvd.
3. Locust Grove Road
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.
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct a 5-foot detached sidewalk 28-
feet from the centerline of Locust Grove Road abutting the site.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: As a part of the North Meridian Traffic Plan, it was noted
that a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes within
70-feet of right-of-way would be adequate to accommodate the projected traffic volumes on Locust
Grove Road. Due to the fact that the North Meridian Traffic Plan recommended a 70-foot right-of-
way on Locust Grove Road and the Commission has supported the recommendations in the past,
3 Three Corners/MPP-07-021/MAZ-07-017
staff is recommending a total right-of-way width of 70-feet as opposed to 96-feet of right-of-way (48-
feet from centerline).
However, the North Meridian Traffic Plan and the submitted traffic impact study identify a need for
increased capacity at the intersection of Locust Grove and Chinden. The North Meridian Traffic
Plan recommends a northbound right-turn lane. Therefore, the applicant will be required to
dedicate a total of 47-feet of right-of-way from centerline of Locust Grove Road, from the Locust
Grove/Chinden Intersection approximately 100-feet south. The right-of-way will then taper to 35-
feet from centerline for the remainder of the site frontage on Locust Grove Road.
As identified in the submitted traffic impact study the applicant will be required to construct a center
left-turn lane on Locust Grove Road at the site approaches for E. Three Corners Trail and the
school. The applicant will not be compensated for any additional right-of-way dedication need to
construct the center left-turn lanes.
The applicant's proposal fora 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site meet's District
Policy. The sidewalk will need to be located 40-feet from the centerline of Locust Grove Road for
the first 100-feet south of the Locust Grove/Chinden intersection. The sidewalk will then taper to
28-feet from the centerline of the roadway.
4. Roadway ®ffsets
Roadway 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 125-feet from
another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed one roadway to intersect Locust Grove Road,
E. Three Corners Trail, located approximately 450-feet (measured property line to centerline) south
of the north property line. The applicant has proposed to construct one 30-foot driveway approach
on Locust Grove Road located approximately 750-feet (measured property line to near edge) south
of the north property line. This driveway is proposed to align centerline to centerline with an
approach on the west side of Locust Grove Road.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District policy, as both access
points to intersect Locust Grove Road align with existing access points on the west side of the
roadway and all of the internal roadways meet or exceed District offset policy.
5. Entry Road (E. Three Corners Trail)
Right-of-way and Street Section Policy: District policy requires 54-feet of right-of-way on
industrial/commercial roadways (Figure 72-F16). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a
3-lane roadway 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's proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct E. Three Corners Trail, an entry
road proposed to intersect Locust Grove Road with two 21-foot travel lanes, 9-foot center
landscape islands, vertical curb, gutter, 6-foot planter strips, and 4-foot detached concrete
sidewalks within 64-feet of right-of-way. The roadway then tapers to a reduced residential street
section as it become internal to the site.
4 Three Corners/MPP-07-021/MAZ-07-017
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District policy; however the
applicant will be required to construct 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks instead of 4-foot sidewalks as
proposed. The applicant will be required to provide an easement for any segment of the sidewalk
located outside of. the right-of-way. The applicant will be required to modify the center landscape
island proposed to be located at the intersection of Locust Grove Road to allow for left and right
turn movements out of the development. Provide a minimum 21-foot street section on either side of
the proposed center landscape islands.
6. Internal Stree#s
Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-F1A requires 50-feet of right-of-way
on local streets. This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 2-lane roadway with curb, gutter
and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks.
Street Section 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.
Reduced Street Section Policy: District policy 7204.4.1 states that right-of-way widths for all
streets and highways shall not be less than 50-feet wide except in unusual cases. Any request to
the District to approve a street with aright-of-way width less than 50 must prove by clear convincing
evidence that the facts and circumstances of the development warrant a finding of an exceptional
case. The applicant must show that the roadway will be used for residential purposes, there wilt be
no possibility that the street will be extended in the near future and the traffic volumes on the street
are not forecast to exceed 200 vehicle trips per day.
District policy7240.4.3 allows a developer to construct a local urban residential street with a
reduced width of 29-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb with curb, gutter and sidewalk. Policy
requires Fire Department approval from use of reduced street sections and restricts parking on
reduced street sections.
Turnaround Policy: District policy 7205..2.1 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a
minimum turning radius of 45-feet. Landscape and parking islands may be constructed in
turnarounds if a minimum inside curb radius of 28-feet, and a minimum outside radius of 45-feet are
provided. The pavement width shall be sufficient to allow the turning around of a standard
AASHTO SU design vehicle without backing.
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct E. Three Corners Trail and E.
Hawk Creek Ct. as a 29-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter, 6-foot planter strip, and 4-foot
detached concrete sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way. The applicant has proposed to construct
N. Sweet Valley Circle as a 29-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached
concrete sidewalk within 42-feet of right-of-way. The applicant has proposed to construct one cul-
de-sac turnaround with a center landscape island.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal for the internal streets meets District
policy; however the applicant will be required to construct 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks instead of
4-foot sidewalks on E. Three Corners Trail and E. Hawk Creek Ct. The applicant will be required to
provide an easement for any segment of the sidewalk located outside of the right-of-way and to
provide a minimum inside curb radius of 28-feet, and a minimum outside radius of 45-feet for the
5
Three Corners/MPP-07-021/MAZ-07-017
cul-de-sac turnaround. The applicant will need to obtain fire department approval for use of the
reduced street sections.
7. 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 one stub street to the south. The stub street is
proposed to be located as follows:
Stub Street to the south, E. Three Corners Trail, to be located approximately 1,070-feet
(measured property line to centerline) east of the west property line. The applicant has
proposed to construct a temporary turnaround at the end of the stub street on the property
to the south.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meet's District policy.
8. Driveways
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 one 53-foot driveway to intersect E. Three
Corners Trail, located approximately 200-feet east of the west property line to provide access to the
school site.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The location of the proposed driveway meets District policy,
however the driveway width will be restricted to a maximum of 36-feet. The applicant will 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.
9. 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
6 Three Corners/MPP-07-021/MAZ-07-01'7
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.
10. Other Access

reconsideration of that action, provided the request is not for a reconsideration of an action
previously requested to be reconsidered, an action whose provisions have been partly and
materially carried out, or an action that has created a contractual relationship with third parties.
a. Only a Commission member who voted with the prevailing side can move for
reconsideration, but the motion may be seconded by any Commissioner and is voted on by
all Commissioners present.
If a motion to reconsider is made and seconded it is subject to a motion to postpone to a
certain time.
b. The request must be in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the Highway District no later
than 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to the Commission's next scheduled regular meeting
