~ B. On November 29, 1999, the District Planning and Development staff inspected this site and
::",, evaluated the transportation system in the vicinity. On December 3, 1999, the staff met as the
y District's Technical Review Committee and reviewed the impacts of this proposed development
'~ on the District's transportation system. The results of that analysis constitute the following Facts
and Findings and recommended Site Specific Requirements.
C. History of Recent Development Approvals in the Surrounding Area:
• On April 10, 1996, the Commission approved Porky Park Subdivision, a 19-lot
industrial/commercial subdivision on 64-acres located at the northeast corner of Franklin Road
~°" and Eagle Road. That development was estimated to generate 8,000 additional vehicle trips per
day. As a condition of approval, the applicant was required to constrict a public street
~'' approximately one-third of a mile east of Eagle Road as a condition of approval. The
"~ development has not been completed and this road is not yet available for use.
• On July 1, 1998, the Commission reviewed iV1SPR-10-98, a proposal to constrict a 100,000-
square foot home furnishings showroom and a X0,000-foot warehouse. for furniture. The
business has been completed on the northeast corner of Franklin Road and Eagle Road. That
development was estimated to generate 1,700 additional vehicle trips per day.
• On September 23, 1998, the Commission reviewed MCU-17-98, a request for conditional use
~, approval for an 848,000-square foot retail shopping center. The 74.74-acre site is located at the
-~ southeast corner of Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue in Meridian. That development was
i estimated to generate 26,950-additional vehicle trips per day, and was required to make major
~., modifications to three intersections (Eagle Road/Fairview Avenue, Eagle RoadlPine Avenue,
'°" Fairview Avenue/Records Drive).
• On December 30, 1998, the Commission reviewed MCU-43-97/MA-13-97, a request for
conditional use approval to construct a 5,000-square foot Idaho Power Credit Union with a
drive-thru window, a 5,359-square foot convenience store/McDonald's fast food restaurant with
a drive-thru window, and an 854-square foot carwash facility. The 4.13-acre site is located on
the northwest comer of Magic View Drive and Eagle Road approximately 720-feet north of I-
~, 84. This development is estimated to generate 7,500 additional vehicle trips per day based on
~`~ the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation manual. As part of this action, the
Commission determined that development of the area west of Eagle Road would constitute an
extraordinary impact and imposed an overlay impact fee on all developments in the Magic
View Subdivision. That site abuts the subject site's east property line.
• On January 27, 1999, the Commission approved Nlidvalley Business Park (a 5-lot commercial
subdivision) along with a request for a conditional use to construct a 24,560-square foot office
bt~ildin~. The 5.4-acre site is located at the southwest corner of Magic View Drive and Allen
~`~' Street, approximately 500-feet west of Eagle Road. That development was estimated to
'~ generate 918 additional vehicle trips per day. This application was approved subject to the
~°~ overlay impact fee imposed by the Commission on December 30, 1998 as part of the action on
MCU-43-97/N1A-13-97. r

=~ On January 27, 1999, the Commission reviewed MCU-14-98/MA-3-98, a conditional use
requesting approval for to construct a 60-unit motel. The 1.66-acre site is located at the
;~ northwest corner of Eagle Road and I-84, also on the south side on Gentry Way and the east
..~. side of Allen Street. That development vas estimated to generate 282 additional vehicle trips
per day. This application was approved subject to the overlay impact fee imposed by the
Commission on December 30, 1998 as part of the action on MCU-43-97/NIA-13-97:
• On May 12, 1999, the Commission reviewed a request to constnuct a light
industrial/manufacturing facility and two soccer fields on 56.32 acres. The site is located north
_ of Interstate 84 and west of Locust Grove Road. That development is estimated to generate
'~ 2,400 additional vehicle trips per day. The site is currently being constnicted.
."~
"°~ On July 28; 1999, the Commission reviewed NICUP99-24/MAZ99-14, a request for conditional
°`~ use approval to constnict a 60,000-square foot medical office building. The applicant is also
:~ requesting annexation from Ada County to the City of Meridian and a rezone from RT to CG.
The 4.34-acre site is located on the west side of Allen Street west of Eagle Road, and
approximately 700-feet south of Magic View Drive. This development is estimated to generate
approximately 1,200 additional vehicle trips per day. This application was approved subject to
the overlay impact fee imposed by the Commission on December 30, 1998 as part of the action
on MCU-43-97/MA-13-97.
',,,:, On July 28, 1999, the Commission reviewed MAZ-99-008/MCUP99-0026, a request for
~' conditional use approval fora 32,000-square foot office building. The 3.77-acre site is located
~ at the northwest corner of Eagle Road and I-84, north of Gentry Way and east of Allen Street.
This development is estimated to generate approximately 1,120 additional vehicle trips per day.
~' This application was approved subject to the overlay impact fee imposed by the Commission
on December 30, 1998 as part of the action on MCU-43-97/MA-13-97.
• On August 11, 1999, the Commission reviewed MCUP99-23, a request for conditional use
approval for phase three of the St. Luke's Niedical center. That 37.5-acre site is located at the
northeast comer of I-84 and Eagle Road, adjacent to the subject site's western boundary. The
total square footage of phases one thru three is 450,600-square feet which was estimated to
"~ generate a total of 5,200 vehicle trips per day. A further indicator of the rapidity of growth in
~~ this area is that St. Luke's did not anticipate the construction of this phase for several more
years, according to their staff.
.~.
:~
• On November 17, 1999, the Commission reviewed and approved Woodbridge Subdivision, a
283-lot residential subdivision on 80.83-acres, located east of Locust Grove Road
approximately l/4 mile south of Franklin Road. The development is estimated to generate
2,871 additional vehicle trips per day.
~~ D. Magic View Subdivision, of which this site is a part, is partially developed as a 5-acre single
~a~ family subdivision. Meridian's Comprehensive Plan designates a large area within Magic View
Subdivision, which includes this site, For commercial and mixed planned use land uses. This
'`~ designation will allow a range of land uses that will generate tr~~fic at a much higher rate than
the existing development.

r
E. On December 30, 1998, the ACHD Commission acted on MCU-43-97 and as part of that action,
i'~.. " found that an extraordinary impact existed because of the potential of large volumes of trips that
would be generated by the redevelopment of Magic View Subdivision and required the
~--~ construction and dedication of a new road into the Magic View Subdivision from Eagle Road
~~ opposite the driveway/private street into St. Luke's medical center. During consideration of
MCU-43-97, the Commission reviewed several options for assuring adequate and safe access
from Eagle Road into this rapidly redeveloping area. The selected option included the
construction of the new road across the property that was the subject of <VICU-43-97 and through
the subject site extending the road to the intersection of Magic View Drive and Allen Drive. The
cost of constniction and right-of--way was to be shared among all the redeveloping properties in
Magic View Subdivision.
-~'' F. In the Consideration of NICU-43-97, the Ada County Highway District found that the anticipated
-'~ fiscal impacts of the anticipated developments in Magic View Subdivision are of such a
~ magnitude that ACRD will be unable to accommodate the developments without excessive and
unscheduled public expenditures which exceed the anticipated impact fees from such
developments. The above mentioned street will ultimately be constructed as a 52-foot (4-lane)
street section, at its connection with Eagle Road, tapering to a standard 46-foot commercial street
section 500-feet west of Eagle Road. The cost of the roadway was estimated to be approximately
5650,000.00. Since that estimate, the developer ofMCU-43-97 has constructed about one-third
~,,, of the length of the road. The construction of the road was at the expense of the developer and
~_ ACHD purchased the right-of--way.
' In its review ofMCU-43-97, the Commission adopted an extraordinary fee based on trip
generation rates. The Commission determined that the Extraordinary Impact.Fee would be
$43.19 per trip. This parcel includes 8-acres, resulting in a trip generation rate of approximately
2,150-trips per day. Therefore, this property should pay an overlay fee to the District in the
amount of approximately 592,858. Staff recommends that the Commission require the payment
of that amount into a fund for the reimbursement of cost to construct and dedicate right-of--way
for a new road from the intersection of Eagle Road and St. Luke's driveway to the intersection of
Magic View Drive and Allen Drive as the proportionate share of this property on a per trip basis.
~' In lieu of depositing this extraoridinary impact fee into a fund, the amount can be redited against
`~ the cost of constructing the roadway
_,~
~"~ G. In accordance with the Commission's previous decision with MCU-43-97, the subject applicant
should be required to extend St. Luke's Street through the site from the eastern property to Magic
View Drive to the south in alignment with Allen Street. The roadway should be extended as a
46-foot street section with curbs, gutters, sidewalks and bike lanes. The developer should be
reimbursed for the entire cost of the roadway by offsetting the extraordianry impact fee for this
site and/or from the extraordinary impact fees collected from the properties in the Magic View
Subdivision as the District collects those fees.
~;~ H. The District has collected approximately $336,1 OS in extraordinary revenue From developments
,~,~~ in the Magic View Subdivision. Another 5152,029 is due from developers that have been
:,; approved by the City of Meridian and are expected to obtain building permits in the immediate
-' future. '~

. ~, I. In accordance with District policy, Driveways on the extension of St. Luke Street should be
N located a minimum of 125-feet from ail existing or proposed driveways on St. Luke's Street.
~+ The driveways should be constructed as 24 to 30-foot wide curb return driveways with 15-foot
~ curb radii. The driveways should be paved a minimum of 30-feet beyond the edge of pavement
of St. Luke's Street. Note: This will require the applicant to relocate the proposed driveway on
the south side of St. Luke's Street at the east property line.
J. Utility street cuts in new pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in
writing by the District. Contact Constn~ction Services at 387-6280 (with file numbers) for
details.
-~','' K. In accordance with District policy, the applicant should be required to constrict curb, gutter, ~-
'~ foot wide concrete sidewalk and match paving on Magic View Subdivision abutting the parcel.
n.,
Improvements should be constricted to one-half of a 41-foot street section.
L. 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 Pat Nelson at 387-6160.
~_
~s M. 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 and private and
public transportation providers to increase the use of alternative transportation and other trip
reduction measures (shuttle buses, bus pass programs, vanpools, carpools, 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 ACHD Commuteride Office.
~,
~; N. Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being
~. tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with past action by the District the applicant should be
~ required to pave all driveways at least 30-feet beyond the edge of pavement of St. Lukes.
O. The Destination 2015 Regional Transportation Plan identified Eagle Road as a limited access
facility. Under this designation, access to Eagle Road would be regulated by a limited number of
traffic signals (with adequate spacing between successive signals), turn channelization and
~„, restrictions at unsignalized intersections and raised medians between channelized turns. Grade-
_~, separated interchanges should be anticipated at arterial/arterial intersections.
.,~'
..,,,~ P. There are currently 43,437 vehicle trips per day on Eagle Road, and traffic on Eagle Road is
' anticipated to continue to increase. This development and~the potential for redevelopment in the
-~' area will exacerbate the existing traffic problems on Earle Road. The new traffic from this
MAZ99-0022.cmm
Pase 6
~, development and other approved developments in the vicinity will add 19,074 vehicle trips per
~'; day, bringing the total to approximately 62,511 vehicle trips per day, which will exceed the
'~ planning threshold Level of Service (LOS) F volume of a typical five-lane roadway. According
~ to the July 31, 1997 "Ada Cocrnty Roadway Capacity Guidelines for Planning Applications,"
~ 42,000 AADT is the upper range of LOS F for a typical five-lane roadway (Urban/Suburban
Arterial -Non-Business District).
This section of Eagle Road between I-84 and Fairview Avenue is not a typical five-lane roadway.
It has a degree of access control and aloes-to-moderate volume of turning conflicts between
signalized intersections so the upper range may be greater than 42,000 ADT. However, this
~~ section of roadway still will not have the capacity to accommodate all of the traffic From the
:~ currently approved developments and the growth of background traffic at accepted levels of
-~''' service. Studies have found that the capacity of Eagle Road can be protected and even enhanced
~`>' if stringent access constrol measures are implemented by ITD and ACRD in collaboration. The
o..
subject property does not have frontage on Eagle Road so, there is nothing about Eagle Road
access that is directly relevant to this property. However, in view of the burgeoning growth
along the Eagle Road corridor, ITD and ACHD should institute access control measures in order
to extend the useful life of Eagle road in its current configuration.
The Eagle Road Corridor Stcecfv states that access control on Eagle Road can increase the
s, capacity of the roadway by as much as fifty-percent which is the same increase in capacity that
= can be experienced by the construction of two additional lanes. Access control will increase the
~ planning threshold (LOS E) to higher levels, perhaps as much as 55,000 ADT. The construction
of frontage roads, grade-separated interchanges and the elimination of signalized intersections
~ recommended by the Study will further increase the LOS E planning threshold to 80,000 ADT
'~+ because of the total elimination ofside-friction from intersections.
The study suggests the following methods of access control:
1. Marginal Access Control Concepts:
a) driveway spacing between successive driveways
"~' b) driveway spacing from an intersection
~~ c) driveway design
.~
~; 2. Medial Access Control Concepts:
~"'~ a) median type
b) median width
c) the geometries of median openings, and
d) spacing of median openings
;. Major intersection Control Concepts
~:,.,, a) at-grade intersection modifications
-~ b) grade-separated intersections
f~
;,.,j 4. Frontage Roads: frontage roads were proposed as an option to provide frill access to
' abutting parcels along Earle Road when access restrictions were imposed.
Mf\Z99-0022.cnun
Pave 7
~'°~
_ Q. The Eagle Road comder study identified five different phases of access control beginning with
.- the existing access conditions to a future restricted-access expressway with grade-separated
intersections. The first level of access control would allow frill access driveways at 660-Foot
~..d intervals; the second level of access control would eliminate the left turns at those driveways
through the installation of raised medians. The first level of access control on Eagle Road
between I-84 and Franklin Road has been implemented. Traffic is now anticipated to exceed
LOS E for typical five-lane roadways under the level one access control. Right-of--way
preservation for frontage roads and roadway improvements should be implemented to allow
Eagle Road to maintain its function and to carry the exceptional volume of traffic that is
expected. In order to accommodate the traffic generated from this site and future development
along Eagle Road, staff recommends that a median be constructed in Eagle Road from the Eagle
~. Road/I-84 interchange to Franklin Road as' the second level of access control. The median
d''; should be constructed to eliminate left turns at the eighth-mile driveways and unsignalized street
approaches. In future phases of corridor protection, a frontage road on both the east and west
side of Eagle Road should be constricted from Franklin Road south to the signalized intersection
at St. Luke's driveway to provide those parcels affected by the median access to full access
intersections to Eagle Road. In even later stages of protection, the urban interchange at the
intersection of Eagle Road and Franklin Road should be constructed.
R. As required by District policy, restrictions on the width, number and locations of driveways, may
be placed on future development of this parcel.
~ S. Based on development patterns in this area and the resulting traffic generation, staff anticipates
that the transportation system will not be adequate to accommodate additional traffic generated
by this proposed development.
Special Recommendation to ITD:
1. This development and the potential for redevelopment in the area will exacerbate the existing
traffic problems on Eagle Road. The District recommends that a median be constructed in
_ Eagle Road from the Eagle Road/I-84 interchange to Franklin Road as suggested in the second
m' level of access control recommended in the Eagle Road Access Control Study. The median
should be constructed to eliminate left turns at driveway and street approaches at every location
°'', except the St. Luke's signalized driveway and the westward extension of St. Luke's Street. In
later stages of protection, frontage road on both the east and west side of Eagle Road should be
•~. constructed from Franklin Road south to the signalized intersection at St. Luke's driveway to
provide access to frill access intersections for the parcels affected by the median.
The following requirements are provided as conditions for approval:
Special Recommendation to the City of Meridian:
:~
I . 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

2. 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.
This development, already approved developments, and the potential for further re-
redevelopment in the area, will exacerbate the existing traffic problems on Eagle Road and
Franklin Road. Substantial reconstniction of the intersection and existing public roadways will
be required to accommodate the traffic generated from this site and approved/anticipated
developments in the vicinity of the site. The City of Meridian should consider the impacts of
this development prior to approving the rezone and conditional use.

This memo is to let you know that the Findings and the Development Agneement on
this matter is still not complete. The record did not have the deeds for the two parcels
which are the subject to this application. We have just obtained those deeds which show
that Lot 2 is owned by Richard L. Moore and Barbara L. Moore, Husband and Wife and Lot
3 is owned by Harvard D. Hanks and Geneva J. Hanks, Trustees of the Hanks Family
Trust, a living trust created by written Trust Agreement of March 26,1999. That affects the
findings and it affects the form of the development ~reement because our standard
procedure unless specifically ordered by the City Council otherwise is to included the legal
owners of the property.
Thunder Creek VAC 99-005:
This utility easerr~nt vacation is not complete for consideration of the Findings of
Fact Conclusions of Law and Order of Easement Vacation. The reason is that in order to

been received. Once those have been received we will complete these findings.

Re: Request for Annexation and Zoning of Two, Five-Acre Parcels +/- from RT to L-
O with a Conditional Use Permit for Multiple Buildings on a Single Site by W.H.
Moore Company
We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the
applicant. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by
motion of the Meridian City Council:
APPLICATIONS SUMMARY
There are two lots and two separate applications covered in this report. The Annexation &
Zoning application (File AZ-99-022) proposes to annex Lots 2 and 3 of the existing Amended
Magic View Subdivision and rezone both lots to Limited Office (L-0). The CUP application
(File CUP-99-040) proposes four new, detached office buildings -- two on each parcel. The
Applicant is also requesting approval for a restaurant within the complex. While the two lots
have different owners, the project was submitted as and will be reviewed as a single project for
the purpose of this report.
LOCATION
The subject lots are located on the north side of Magic View Drive, immediately west of the new
Eagle Partners project currently being constructed, and south of Greenhill Estates Subdivision.
The property is located in an area designated as Mixed/Planned Use Development in the
Comprehensive Plan. There is also a Commercial designation that incorporates a portion of Lot 2
(the east piece).
While the majority of Magic View Subdivision (approximately 23 three- to five-acre lots
covering 70 +/- acres) remains in the County, it is rapidly urbanizing. In the last three years or
so, six lots in the east half of the subdivision adjacent to Eagle Road have been annexed and are
either built-out or in the development-approval process. The Magic View residents are also very
active in the City's current Comprehensive Plan Update process. They submitted a general
master plan for the re-development of the entire subdivision and have requested a Mixed Use
designation for the full 70 +/- acres, changing from its existing Single-family Residential
designation.

SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
North -Greenhill Estates Subdivision No. 3 (large, single-family homes in awell-established
neighborhood). Nine homes are immediately adjacent to the north property lines of the proposed
site and zoned R3 (Ada County).
South -Immediately across Magic View Drive is the Texaco gas station and food mart in Lot 11
and the Midvalley Business Park, which is a re-subdivision of Lot 10 into five (5) one-acre lots,
including the new Hubble Engineering headquarters building. Both lots are zoned C-G
(Meridian).
East -Eagle Partners complex (Idaho Power Credit Union and Chevron/McDonalds), zoned CG
(Meridian).
West - A five-acre lot with asingle-family home. The east boundary of Phase 2 of the proposed
Woodbridge Subdivision by O'Neill Enterprises is approximately 1,500 feet to the west down
Magic View Drive.
ANNEXATION AND ZONING GENERAL COMMENTS
1. The legal description submitted for Lots 2 and 3 is correct and places the parcel
contiguous to existing city limits.
2. Staff agrees with the proposed L-O zone. The L-O zone is permitted and compatible with
the Mixed/Planned Use comprehensive plan designation. It provides for appropriate, low-
intensity transitional uses from commercial on the south to single-family on the north.
3. The subject lots can be adequately served by public facilities, and the proposed uses will
allow for orderly expansion of the city limits.
4. With the extension of St. Luke's Street from Eagle Road and aligning the proposed Allen
Street with the existing Allen south of Magic View, this site will have adequate vehicular
approaches and access.
ANNEXATION SITE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
1. Any existing irrigation/drainage ditches crossing the property to be included in this
project, shall be tiled per City Ordinance 11-9-605.M. The ditches to be piped should be
shown on the site plans. Plans will need to be approved by the appropriate
irrigation/drainage district, or lateral users association, with written confirmation of said
approval submitted to the Public Works Department. No variances have been requested
for tiling of any ditches crossing this project.
2. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be
removed from their domestic service per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517. Wells may be
used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation.

includes the dedication of a new public street and divides Lot 2 of the Amended Magic
View Subdivision into three parts (the lot, Allen Street and the landscape and stormwater
azea north of the street. In order to comply with this section of the ordinance, Staff
recommend the applicant plat the proposed site accordingly. This should be a condition
of annexation placed in the Development Agreement. [NOTE: The Planning Director,
City Engineer and City Attorney have proposed revising the Zoning Ordinance to set
standazds to allow for one-time splits of pazcels in the city limits. Currently, however, the
only vehicle to split properties is the formal platting process.]

uses in the L-O zone. Staff recommends the Applicant either: (1) make firm
commitments in this application regarding the specific building to house the restaurant,
hours of operation, type of restaurant, and other details; or (2) be required to submit a
separate CUP application in the future once the restaurant comes through as a tenant
improvement. Staff supports the concept of integrating. offices and restaurants, but feel
one of these two conditions should be placed.
6. The building elevations provided do not correspond with the building envelopes Tabled on
Sheet CU-1. Applicant should provide more specific details on which buildings are
single-story and which are two-story.
7. There is an existing ten-foot-wide public utilities, irrigation and drainage easement along
the side and rear lot lines of Lots 2 and 3. Applicant should clarify his intent with regard
to maintaining or vacating these easements.
8. The parking details on Sheet CU-1 state "Retail Parking Provided," but the square
footage calculation is correct for office use (1:400). Retail use is specifically prohibited
in the L-O zone. This should be corrected to state "Office Parking."
9. Parcel A shows a total of 275 parking stalls. ADA requires a minimum of seven
handicap accessible for this number of parking stalls. Only six are shown (three per
building). Staff recommends adding at least one (1) more handicap stall per building.
Parcel B appears to meet the minimum ADA requirements.
10. The parking rows against the east boundary of Parcel A (adjacent to Allen Street) show
twenty-six (26) stalls south of the driveway and twenty (20) stalls north of the driveway.
These are large expanses of asphalt without any visual/softening break. Staff
recommends at least one (1) landscape bump-out with dimensions similar to the other
proposed bump-outs (approx. 8' x 20') be added to each of these parking rows.
11. Staff encourages the inclusion of bicycle racks at each of the four (4) office buildings.
12. The street trees proposed along all three public roads on the Site Plan should be planted
outside any easement containing an underground water line, sewer line, or other utility.
13. The Site Plan shows the required number of trees to meet the ordinance. However, no
species are listed. Applicant must submit a detailed landscape plan, including berm
height, species, groundcovers, shrubs and irrigation details with the Certificate of Zoning
ComplianceBuilding Permit submission.
14. If a landscape berm is proposed for the northwest corner of Parcel B (adjacent to St.
Luke's Street), Staff requests the berm height be restricted to a maximum of three feet
from street grade (not sidewalk grade) to allow for clear vision.

the north and west boundaries of the site.
