B. Findings for Consideration 1. Traffic Impact Study Executive Summary: Chalet Marseilles Subdivision is a 21.81-acre residential development located at the northwest corner of Ustick Road and Locust Grove Road in Meridian, Idaho. Both of these streets are classified as minor arterials. There are 67 residential condominium units (ITE use 2 Chalet Marseilles Subdivision 230) planned for this subdivision along with 87 detached senior adult housing units (ITE use 251) resulting in a gross density of 7.06 units per acre. Direct access to the site is located in Locust Grove Road, approximately 660 feet north of Ustick Road. Another access to the site is to the north on Heritage View Avenue through the Heritage Commons Subdivision. A future third access for the site south to Ustick Road may be through the Wanda's Meadow Subdivision on Yellow Peak Lane. That current potential connection is currently blocked by an eight-foot strip of land owned by a third party. • The site will generate 938 daily trip ends with 71 AM peak-hour trips and 94 PM peak-hour trips. • The intersection of Ustick Road and Locust Grove Road presently operates at LOS C with an average delay of 34.7 seconds during the AM peak hour and 30.4 seconds during the PM peak. No approach to the intersection operates below LOS D. In 2010, without the traffic added by the subdivision, the Ustick/Locust Grove intersection will operate at LOS D during the morning and evening peak hours; the average delay will be 49.0 seconds and 41.5 seconds, respectively. The westbound left turn will operate at LOS F in both the morning and evening peak hours. The Ustick/Locust Grove intersection with site traffic added in 2010 will operate at LOS D during the morning and evening peak hours; the average delay will be 51.2 second and 42.3 seconds, respectively. The westbound left turn will operate at LOS Fin both the morning and evening peak hours. • The E Monet Street intersection at Locust Grove Road is expected to operate at LOS B with 13.6 seconds average delay per vehicle in the PM peak and 13.3 seconds delay in the AM peak. If the connection to Yellow Peak Avenue is not made, the intersection will still operate at LOS B with an average delay of 12.6 seconds in the PM peak and 13.0 seconds without the connection. • If the road connection is made between Chalet Marseilles and Wanda's Meadow Subdivision, Lillyturf Avenue at Ustick Road will operate at LOS C with 20.1 seconds average delay per vehicle in the PM peak and at LOS B with 14.7 seconds delay in the AM peak. Recommendations • Construct the connection between Chalet Marseilles and Wanda's Meadow Subdivisions at the earliest possible time. This connection will reduce the number of vehicle trips through the Ustick/Locust Grove intersection. It may also keep the traffic volume on Park Commons Avenue in the Heritage Commons Subdivision below the 1,000 vehicle trips per day local street threshold. • Consider relocating Monet Street further south along Locust Grove Road to obtain a 125-foot minimum offset from Summerheights Drive. This will reduce conflicts between the traffic from these two streets as well as the adjacent church driveway. • Coordinate site improvement to facilitate installation of a southbound through-lane at the intersection of Ustick Road and Locust Grove Road. This lane is needed to maintain all movements within the intersection above LOS F. This improvement is needed with or without the traffic generated by the Chalet Marseilles Subdivision. Staff Comments: ACRD Traffic Engineering staff is still reviewing the submitted traffic impact study, and will offer comments once the review is complete. 2. Ustick 8 Locust Grove Roads Right-of-Way: 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. 3 Chalet Marseilles Subdivision Access 8~ Offsets: 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. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to take one access point onto Locust Grove Road on Monet Street, approximately 630-feet north of the intersection with Ustick Road (measured near-edge to near-edge) and no access points onto Ustick Road. The applicant has proposed to dedicate 23-feet of additional right-of-way, to total 48-feet from centerline along both Ustick and Locust Grove Roads and complete one-half of a 5-lane arterial section on both roads abutting the site. Additionally, the applicant has proposed to construct 5-foot detached, meandering concrete sidewalk and provide a 6-foot sidewalk easement along both Ustick and Locust Grove Roads abutting the site. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the applicant dedicate an additional 23-feet of right-of-way (totaling 48-feet from centerline) and construct 5-foot detached concrete sidewalks along both Ustick and Locust Grove Roads, no closer than 41-feet from their respective centerlines. Additionally, the applicant should take access onto Locust Grove Road via Monet Street as proposed. Although Monet Street does not align with Summerheights Drive on the east side of Locust Grove Road, its proposed placement maximizes offset from the signal- controlled intersection at Locust Grove and Ustick. The applicant should not construct pavement widening or curb and gutter improvements on either Ustick or Locust Grove Roads, as these are impact-fee eligible roadways scheduled for widening by the District. 3. Chardin Avenue Half-Street Section: 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." Turnarounds: The applicant is not proposing to construct a standard culdesac turnaround. The District will consider alternatives to the standard turnaround on a case-by-case basis. The determination to allow anon-standard turnaround will be based on turning area, drainage, maintenance considerations and the written approval of the emergency fire service for the area where the development is located. Minimum design standards shall be met for all non-standard turnarounds. Submit a design of the turnaround for review and approval by District Development Division staff. Approval of the staff report does not indicate approval of the non- standard turnaround design. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct Chardin Avenue as ahalf-street section abutting the west property line for approximately 470-feet, with 31-feet of pavement, 3- footgravel shoulder on the west, and rolled curb and gutter on the east, inside 40-feet of right- of-way. Additionally, the applicant has proposed to construct a 4-foot detached concrete sidewalk inside an easement along the east side of Chardin Avenue. Staff Comments 8~ Recommendations: If the applicant chooses to dedicate Chardin Avenue as a public street prior to development of the property to the west, the applicant should propose an adequate turnaround facility at its south terminus, since Chardin Avenue would terminate at a private drive entrance with no public street connectivity. The proposed 31-foot pavement width exceeds the District's standards for a minimum of 24-feet on ahalf-street section. The applicant and the City of Meridian might wish to consider the possibility of constructing Chardin Avenue to 4 Chalet Marseilles Subdivision current District standards, but defer dedicating it as a public street until the development of the property to the west, at which time it could be completed and/or reconstructed and dedicated to provide access to the new development. 4. Heritage View Avenue Right-of-Way: 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. Local Streets: 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. Stub Streets: 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 construct Heritage View Avenue as a 36- foot street section with rolled curb and gutter inside 50-feet of right-of-way, and 4-foot detached concrete sidewalks inside easements on both sides. Additionally, the applicant has proposed to align and connect Heritage View Avenue with the existing Heritage View Avenue stub street to the north and both connect it with Monet Street at its south terminus while aligning it with Yellow Peak Avenue for a future connection to the south. Staff Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meet's District policy and should be approved with this application. Due to the presence of an 8-foot wide The applicant should install a sign at the south terminus of Heritage View Avenue stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE." 5. Monet Street Right-of-Way: 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. Local Streets: 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. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct Monet Street as a 36-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalk along its north side, all inside 50-feet of right-of-way abutting the north property line, and a 4-foot detached concrete sidewalk inside an easement on its south side. Monet Street will connect to Heritage Avenue at its west terminus. 5 Chalet Marseilles Subdivision Staff Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meet's District policy and should be approved with this application. 6. Private Drives Private Streets: District policy 7205.6 states that 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. 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 Chardin Avenue, Heritage View Avenue, or Monet Street 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. The following requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the roadway to ACHD: Dedicate a minimum of 50-feet of right-of-way for the road. Construct the roadway to the minimum ACHD requirements. Construct a stub street to the surrounding parcels. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct 9 private drives on the site, each with 28-feet of pavement, 1-foot ribbon curb on one side, and rolled curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalk on the other side. Staff Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District standards and should be approved with this application. 7. Other Access Ustick and Locust Grove Roads are classified principal and minor arterials, respectively. Other than access specifically addressed in this application, direct lot access to these roads is prohibited and should be noted on the final plat. 8.
