SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS:
1, The developer of the Holiday Inn Express on the east side of the subject site, has installed
sewer and water mains in Allen Street as part of his project. These mains have not received
final inspection, nor have they been approved by the Public Works Department for ownership
and maintenance. It is uncleaz when or whether these mains will be accepted by the City.
This is very important to the serviceability of this project.
2. Water service to the proposed site could be to the existing water line mentioned above.
Applicant will be responsible to construct the water mains to and through this proposed
development. Project designer to coordinate main sizing and routing with the Public Works
Department. Please provide the Public works department with information on anticipated fire
flow and domestic water requirements for the proposed site. Water service to this
development is contingent upon positive resuhs from a hydraulic analysis by our computer

model. Flow and pressure from the existing mains should be monitored with the Meridian
Water Department.
3. Applicants architect has indicated on the site plans that the sanitary sewer service shall be
accommodated via a pressure line. Further design investigation needs to be performed to
determine the serviceability of the site via gravity sewer mains.
4. Assessment fees for water and sewer service are determined during the building plan review
process. Applicant shall be required to enter into an Assessment Agreement with the City of
Meridian. In addition to these assessments, water and sewer "Late Comers" fees will also be
charged against this parcel to help reimburse the parties responsible for installing the water
and sewer mains to their current points.
5. Underground pressurized irrigation must be provided to all landscape areas on site. Please
submit hook-up and design details based on the proposed landscaping. Due to the landscape
area, primary water supply connection to the City's mains will not be allowed. Applicant shall
be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source. If City water
is proposed as a secondary source, developer shall be responsible to pay water assessments
for the entire common open area.
6. The southwest drive entrance width offFreeway Drive is currently shown as twenty feet (20').
City ordinance requires minimum of twenty-five foot (25') drive aisles. Plan must be
modified.
7. Applicant is proposing a six (6) foot landscape strip adjacent to Freeway Drive. I-84 is
identified as an entryway corridor in the Comprehensive Plan, which requires athirty-five foot
(35') landscape strip beyond the required right-of--way. While this parcel does not have direct
frontage on I-84, it is highly visible from the Eagle Road off-ramp and I-84 west-bound traffic
and functions as an entryway for Meridian. Staffrecommend the applicant approach ITD to
investigate the potential for a license agreement to landscape within the I-84 right-of--way
between Freeway Drive and the north I-84 boundary to meet the 35-foot buffer requirement.
8. Applicant is proposing a four (4) foot landscape strip adjacent to Allen Street. As the primary
entrance to the facility, staff consider this width to be inadequate. Midvalley Business
Park/Hubble Engineering is immediately adjacent to the north and is providing a tapered
landscape strip -ranging from 8 feet on the north to 16-feet on the south immediately
abutting Sontag's property. Staffrecommend a minimum ten-foot (10') landscape strip along
the Allen Street frontage.
9. The north boundary line of subject property and the south boundary of Midvalley Business
Park are common. Midvalley's approved landscape plan provides a tapered landscape buffer

along the south boundary -from 20-feet on the east to 10-feet on the west. The proposed 10-
foot landscape strip on Sontag's north boundary would N,oh-f~~ ~"~' ~urF~~-~- to ~t
prc t'h2_ no~t`~-
10. Coordinate screened trash enclosure locations and construction requirements with Sanitary
Service Company and provide a letter of approval from their office prior to applying for
building permits. All trash areas are to be enclosed by a screening fence on three (3) sides.
11. Handicap parking, associated signage and building construction shall meet the requirements
of the Americans with Disabilities Act. A total of six (6) handicap-accessible stalls aze
required and six (6) aze shown. However, given the medical office use and anticipated
clientele, staff encourage the addition of at least three (3) handicap parking stalls.
12. No signage has been proposed and none is approved with this application. All signage will
be subject to design review and requires separate permits.
13. Six-foot-high, permanent perimeter fencing shall be provided adjacent to the existing
residential and agricultural use along the west boundary line.
14. This conditional use permit shall be subject to review upon ten (10) days notice to the
applicant. Transfer of the conditional use permit will need to be submitted and approved by
the Zoning Administrator for any new owners/tenants.
15. 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

B. On January 27, 1999 the Commission reviewed and approved MCU14-98/iVIA-03-98, an
application requesting conditional use approval to constrict a 60-unit motel. The 1.66-acre site
is located at the southwest comer of Gentry Way and Allen Street.
C. Ma;ic View Subdivision, of which this site is a part, is partially developed as a ~-acre sin;le
family subdivision. Meridian's Comprehensive Plan desi;nates a large area within Nla~ic
View Subdivision, which includes this site, for commercial and mixed planned use land uses.
This designation will allow a ran,e of land uses that will venerate traffic at a much hi;;-Jher rate
than the existing development. y y
D. The Destination 201 Re,ional 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 si,nals (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.

E. On December 30, 1998, the ACRD Commission acted on MCU-43-97 and as part of that
action, 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. Darin, consideration
of MCU-43-97, the Commission reviewed several options for assuring, adequate and sate access
from Eagle Road into this rapidly rede~~eloping area. The selected option included the
constnuction of the new road across the property that was the subject of iVICU-43-9 7 by that
developer, with the eventual extension of that road to the intersection of iv(a~,ic View Drive and
Allen Drive. The cost of construction and right-ot=way was to be shared among all the
redeveloping properties in Magic View Subdivision.
The Ada County Highway District finds that the anticipated fiscal .impacts of the anticipated
developments in Magic View Subdivision are of such a ma,nitude that ACRD is unable to
accommodate the development(s) without excessive and unscheduled public expenditures
which exceed the amount of the anticipated impact fees from such anticipated developments.
The above-mentioned street will ultimately be constructed as a ~2-foot (4-lane) street section, at
its connection with Eagle Road, tapering to a standard 41-foot commercial street section ~00-
feet west of Eagle Road. The cost of the roadway is approximately S6~O,000.00.
In its review ofMCU-43-97, the Commission adopted an Extraordinary Impact Fee based on
trip generation rates. The Commission determined that the Extraordinary Impact Fee would be
54;.19 per trip. This parcel includes 4.34-acres, resulting in a trip generation rate of
approximately 1,200-trips per day. The share of the cost of the new roadway-equaled 543.19
per trip. Therefore, this property should pay an overlay fee to the District in the amount of
approximately 551,828.00. Staff recommends that the Commission require the payment of that
amount into a fund for the reimbursement of cost to construct and dedicate risht-of-~vav for a
ne~v 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.
F. Utility street cuts in new pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in
writing by the District. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file numbers) for
details:
G. District policy requires the applicant to constnuct curb, gutter and ~-foot wide concrete sidewalk
and pavement widening to one halt of a 4t-foot street section on Allen Street abutting the
parcel.
H. District policy requires the applicant to construct curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk
and pavement widening to one half of a 41-foot street section plus 16-feet of additional paving
on Freeway Street abutting the parcel. Staff is recommending a wider pavement width on this
segment of roadway because the southern half of the roadway will never redevelop and the
pavement width proposed by District staff is eduivalent to the driving. surface of a 41-toot street
section.

Driveways on Allen Street/Freewav Street should be Located a minimum of ~0-feet from public
street intersections and 100-feet from the comer of Allen Street and Freeway Street. Staff is
recommendin, the driveways be located further from the corner of Allen Street and Free~~~ay
Street due inadequate sight distance concerns at the corner. Driveways should be constructed
as ?4 to 30-foot wide curb cut driveways and paved their full required width of?4 to ~0-feet
and at least 30-feet beyond the edge of pavement of Allen Street and Freeway Street.
J. Interstate 84 is under thejurisdiction of Idaho Transportation Department ([TD). Application
materials should be submitted to LTD for review and requirements of that Department and the
applicant should submit to the District a letter from [TD regarding said requirements prior to
District approval of the final plat or issuance of a building permit (or other required permits).
whichever occurs first. The applicant may contact District ([[ Traffic En`ineer Walter Burnside
at 334-8340.
K. As required by District policy, restrictions on the width, number and locations of driveways,
may be placed on future development of this parcel.
L. There are currently approximately 31,97 vehicle trips per day on Eagle Road, and traffic on
Eagle Road is anticipated to increase sivniticantly over the next few years. This development
and the potential for redevelopment in the area will exacerbate the existing traffic problems on
Eagle Road. The rely traffic from this development and other approved developments in the
vicinity will add 11,510 vehicle trips per day, bringing the total to approximately 43,48
vehicle trips per day, which will exceed the pla~ining threshold Level of Service (LOS) E
volume of a ttipical five-lane roadway. According to the July 31, 1997 "Ada County Roadway
Capacity Guidelines for Planning applications", 40,000 AADT is the middle of the range of
LOS E for a typical five-lane roadway (Urban,'Suburban Arterial -Non-Business District), with
42,00 being the upper limit of that range. This section of Eagle Road between I-84 and
Franklin Road 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.. This section of
roadway should have the capacity to accommodate all of the traffic from the currently proposed
developments. The planning threshold has not been determined for this type of roadway. Staff
recommends that the APA Transportation Model Advisory Committee (TMAC) be requested to
evaluate Eagle Road from I-84 to S.H. 44 and establish planning thresholds for it.
M. The Eagle Road Corridor Studs- states that access control on Eagle Road can increase the
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 >j,000 ADT. The
constriction of frontage roads, grade-separated interchan,es 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 followin; methods of access control:
Marginal Access Control Concepts:
a. driveway spacin` between successive driveways
b. driveway spacing from an intersection
~~cUP9~~~.c:4tw
Pa~_e ~
~ •
driveway design
Medial Access Control Concepts:
a. median type
b. median width
c. the ;eometrics of median openings, and
d. spacing of median openings
Major intersection Control Concepts
a. at-,rade intersection modifications
b. grade-separated intersections
4. Frontage Roads: frontage roads were proposed as an option to provide full access to
abutting parcels along Eagle Road when access restrictions were imposed.
The access control measures were to be implemented in phases as adequate Levels of Service
on Eagle Road were exceeded. The study recommended five different pleases 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 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 Earle Road to maintain its Function and to carry the exceptional volume
oftrafftc that is expectedy In order to accommodate the traffic generated from this site and
future development along Eagle Road, staff recommends that a median be constructed in Earle
Road from the Earle Road/I-84 interchange to Franklin Road as the second level of access V
control. The median should be constructed to eliminate left turns at the eighth-mile driveways
and street approaches. In future phases of corridor protection, a 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 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 oFEagle Road and Franklin Road should be constructed.
Special Recommendation to 1TD and the City of iv[eridian:
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/[-84 interchange to Franklin Road as suggested in the second
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. In later stakes of protection, a 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 full access intersections for
the parcels affected by the median.

7. Provide sidewalks in accordance with City Ordinance Section 11-9-606.B.
8. All construction shall conform to the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS:
1. The developer of the Holiday Inn Express on the east side of the subject site, has installed
sewer and water mains in Allen Street as part of his project. These mains have not received
final inspection, nor have they been approved by the Public Works Department for ownership
and maintenance. It is unclear when or whether these mains will be accepted by the City.
This is very important to the serviceability of this project.
2. Water service to the proposed site could be to the existing water line mentioned above.
Applicant will be responsible to construct the water mains to and through this proposed
development. Project designer to coordinate main sizing and routing with the Public Works
Department. Please provide the Public works department with information on anticipated fire
flow and domestic water requirements for the proposed site. Water service to this
development is contingent upon positive results from a hydraulic analysis by our computer

model. Flow and pressure from the existing mains should be monitored with the Meridian
Water Department.
3 h.i Applicants architect has indicated on the site plans that the sanitary sewer service shall be
accommodated via a pressure line. Further design investigation needs to be performed to
determine the serviceability of the site via gravity sewer mains.
4. Assessment fees for water and sewer service are determined during the building plan review
process. Applicant shall be required to enter into an Assessment Agreement with the City of
Meridian. In addition to these assessments, water and sewer "Late Comers" fees will also be
charged against this parcel to help reimburse the parties responsible for installing the water
and sewer mains to their current points.
Underground pressurized irrigation must be provided to all landscape areas on site. Please
submit hook-up and design details based on the proposed landscaping. Due to the landscape
area, primary water supply connection to the City's mains will not be allowed. Applicant shall
be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source. If City water
is proposed as a secondary source, developer shall be responsible to pay water assessments
for the entire common open area.
6. The southwest drive entrance width off Freeway Drive is currently shown as twenty feet (20').
City ordinance requires minimum of twenty-five foot (25') drive aisles. Plan must be
modified.
~~~
`~~ ~ Applicant is proposing a s~ ~ foot landscape strip adjacent to Freeway Drive. I-84 is
identified as an entryway corridor in the Comprehensive Plan, which requires athirty-five foot
(35') landscape strip beyond the required right-of--way. While this parcel does not have direct
frontage on I-84, it is highly visible from the Eagle Road off-ramp and I-84 west-bound traffic
and functions as an entryway for Meridian. Staffrecommend the applicant approach ITD to
investigate the potential for a license agreement to landscape within the I-84 right-of--way
between Freeway Drive and the north I-84 boundary to meet the 35-foot buffer requirement.
Applicant is proposing a four (4) foot landscape strip adjacent to Allen Street. As the primary
entrance to the facility, staff consider this width to be inadequate. Midvalley Business
Park/Hubble Engineering is immediately adjacent to the north and is providing a tapered
landscape strip -ranging from 8 feet on the north to 16-feet on the south immediately
abutting Sontag's property. Staffrecommend a minimum ten-foot (10') landscape strip along
the Allen Street frontage.
9. The north boundary line of subject property and the south boundary of Midvalley Business
Park are common. Midvalley's approved landscape plan provides a tapered landscape buffer
AllenstC areCtr.AZ.CUP.doc
Mayor, Council and P&Z

along the south boundary -from 20-feet on the east to 10-feet on the west. The proposed 10-
foot landscape strip on Sontag's north boundary would C®~ti~t.u.~-~'1~ ~ur~-~,~t l~ ~~.e-t
10. Coordinate screened trash enclosure locations and construction requirements with Sanitary
Service Company and provide a letter of approval from their office prior to applying for
building permits. All trash areas are to be enclosed by a screening fence on three (3) sides.
11. Handicap parking, associated signage and building construction shall meet the requirements
of the Americans with Disabilities Act. A total of six (6) handicap-accessible stalls aze
required and six (6) are shown. However, given the medical office use and anticipated
clientele, staff encourage the addition of at least three (3) handicap parking stalls.
12. No signage has been proposed and none is approved with this application. All signage will
be subject to design review and requires separate permits.
13. Six-foot-high, permanent perimeter fencing shall be provided adjacent to the existing
residential and agricultural use along the west boundary line.
14. This conditional use permit shall be subject to review upon ten (10) days notice to the
applicant. Transfer of the conditional use permit will need to be submitted and approved by
the Zoning Administrator for any new owners/tenants.
15. 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.
16. 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.
