3. Existing Roadway Improvements and Right-of-Way Adjacent To and Near the Site
• Ustick Road is currently improved to 3 lanes with no curb, gutter, or sidewalk inside 50-feet of
right-of-way abutting the site. Ustick Road received an overlay abutting the site in March of
2007.
Venable Lane is currently improved to 31-feet of pavement inside 58-feet of right-of-way with
vertical curb, gutter, and 7-foot attached sidewalk opposite the site and a drainage swale
abutting the site
• Buckstone Avenue is currently improved as a 34-foot street section with rolled curb, gutter, and
4-foot wide detached sidewalk inside 56-feet of right-of-way. Buckstone Avenue intersects the
north property line of the site approximately 200-feet east of the site's northwest corner.
4. Existing Access: The site currently has one defined access point to Ustick Road, approximately
100-feet west of where Venable Lane intersects with Ustick Road.
1 Settlers Square Subdivision
5. Site History: The District has not previously reviewed any applications involving this property.
6. Adjacent Development: To the north, Woodburn Subdivision (47 buildable lots on 10 acres) is
nearing completion. To the south, Crossfield Subdivision (246 buildable lots on 60 acres) is under
construction. To the east, Cedar Springs Professional Center is nearing completion.
Development Impacts
7.. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 3,990 vehicle trips per day (245
vehicles per hour during PM peak hour traffic) based on the submitted traffic impact study.
8. 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.
9. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was required with this application.

11. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Plan
Ustick Road is currently scheduled in the Capital Improvements Plan to be widened to a 5-lane
arterial between Linder and Meridian Roads in 11 to 20 years. The intersection of Ustick and
Meridian Roads has gone into preliminary development for construction as a 6-lane (Ustick) by 4-
lane (Meridian) signalized intersection in 2008. The intersection of Ustick and Linder Roads is
currently scheduled in the Five Year Work Plan to be signalized in 2010.
B. Findings for Consideration
Traffic Impact Study
Summary of Findings:
• At full buildout the site will produce a total driveway volume of 3,990 vehicles per day with a
PM peak hour loading of 245 vehicles per hour.
• The proposed site access plan includes 1all-movement access onto Ustick Road plus a
connection with Venable Lane, amid-section collector.
• The Ustick intersection with Meridian Road now operates with moderate traffic congestion.
The Ustick/Linder AWSC intersection is over capacity with LOS "F" conditions. This
intersection is included in the ACRD CIP for reconstruction in 2008.
• 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 north from Ustick Road will not block the site access.
• The site access will not generate sufficient turning traffic to warrant aright-turn deceleration
lane on Ustick Road.
• Ustick Road will exceed the capacity of the existing 2-lane road section by 2015, and a S-
lane improvement will be needed to accommodate the regional traffic growth as identified in
the COMPASS Long Range Transportation Plan.
2 Settlers Square Subdivision
Recommendations:
• A future traffic signal will be needed at the Venable/Ustick intersection if the land south of
Ustick Road on 8~' Avenue develops to a similar density to Settlers Square.
• Venable Lane should be widened to a 40-foot wide section to accommodate a southbound
left-turn lane.
Staff Comments:
• The signalization of Ustick and Linder has moved in the Five Year Work Plan from 2008 to
2010..
• Specialty Retail Center (ITE code 814) does not represent a mixture of retail and office. Trip
generation may range from as low as 10 VTD per 1,000sf to over 100 VTD per 1,000sf
depending on the specific commercial use.
• Any additional access granted onto Ustick Road should be located as far from the Venable
Lane intersection as possible, and should provide future cross-access for parcels to the
west.
2. Ustick Road
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.
Access: 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.
Cut Moratorium: Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless
approved in writing by the District.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way from
centerline and construct 5-foot concrete sidewalks 41-feet from centerline along Ustick Road
abutting the site. Additionally, the applicant has proposed to construct Buckstone Avenue to
access Ustick Road approximately 330-feet west of Venable Lane (measured centerline-to-
centerline).
Staff Recommendation: Due to the fact that Venable Lane is located at the half-mile and its
intersection with Ustick Road is a potential candidate for future signalization, District staff
recommends that the applicant's proposal be approved with the stipulation that the District may
restrict Buckstone Avenue to a right-in/right-out access at some time in the future. Additionally,
due to the recent resurfacing of Ustick Road, the applicant must contact the District's Utility
Coordinator at 387-6258 to seek approval for any utility cuts on this roadway.
3. Venable Lane
Right-of-Way: 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.
AccesslOffsets: 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 has proposed to complete Venable Way as a 40-foot street
section with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached sidewalk inside 58-feet of right-of-way
abutting the site. Additionally, the applicant has proposed to construct Cooper Lane to access
Venable Lane so that it aligns with the private drive in Cedar Springs Professional Center on the
east side of Venable Lane.
3 Settlers Square Subdivision
Staff Recommendations: The applicant's proposal regarding Venable Lane meets District
policy and should be approved with this application.
4. Buckstone Avenue
Right-of-Way: 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.
Islands: 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 Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct Buckstone Avenue as a private
drive aisle north of Cooper Lane and a divided public commercial street south of Cooper Lane.
The private drive aisle will be a 25-foot street section aligning with the stub street in Woodburn
Subidivision to the north and will provide an easement for public cross access. The public
portion of Buckstone Avenue will consist of 22-foot street sections without parking and 30-foot
street sections with parking divided by a 7-foot wide island..
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 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.
Staff Recommendation: The applicant should construct the north portion of Buckstone Avenue
as a public street rather than a private drive aisle. District staff recommends a modification of
policy to allow a 29-foot street section (measured back-of-curb to back-of-curb) in 42-feet of
right-of-way due to the fact that this street segment will provide connectivity between the
commercial development and Woodburn residential subdivision, and no on-street parking will be
allowed. In the event that lots 1-6 are consolidated on the final plat, District staff recommends
rescinding this requirement in favor of across-access easement to and from Woodburn
subdivision. The applicant's proposal regarding the south portion of Buckstone Avenue meets
District policy and should be approved with this application. The applicant must install root
barriers when planting trees in any island less than 8-feet in width. The applicant should take
note that the District may restrict Buckstone Avenue to a right-in/right-out access on Ustick at
some time in the future.
5. Cooper Lane
Right-of-Way: 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.
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 Cooper Lane as a minimum 42-
foot street section inside 68-feet of right-of-way, with 9-foot wide parking aisles where parking is
4 Settlers Square Subdivision
allowed. The applicant has proposed to terminate Cooper Lane at the west property line to allow
for future stub street connection.
Staff Recommendation: The applicant should provide a public turnaround easement in the
driveway nearest Cooper Lane's western terminus. The rest of the applicant's proposal
regarding Cooper Lane meets District policy and should be approved with this application.
6. Access 8~ 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.
Driveway Offsets: 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 Widths.: 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 Proposal: The applicant has proposed 4 direct lot access points onto Cooper Lane
and 2 direct lot access points onto Buckstone Avenue, all offset at least 50-feet from the nearest
intersection with either Ustick Road or Venable Lane. All driveways will be no wider than 36-
feet.
Staff Comment: The applicant's proposal regarding access and driveways meets District
standards and should be approved with this application. Direct lot access onto Ustick Road
(arterial) Venable Lane (collector) is prohibited, and should be noted on the final plat.
7. 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 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.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1. Dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Ustick Road abutting the parcel. 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
District will purchase the right-of-way which is in addition to existing right-of-way from available
Corridor Preservation Funds.
2. Do not make utility street cuts in Ustick Road abutting the site without approval in writing by the
District. This section of road was paved in March 2007 and is subject to the 5-year cut
moratorium.
3. Construct 5-foot concrete sidewalk at least 41-feet from the centerline of Ustick Road abutting
the site.
5 Settlers Square Subdivision
4. Complete Venable Lane as a 40-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached
concrete sidewalk abutting the site. Connect sidewalk with existing improvements to the north.
5. Construct the north portion of Buckstone Avenue as a 29-foot street section (measured back-of-
curb to back-of-curb) with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalks inside
42-feet of right-of-way. In the event that lots 1-6 are consolidated on the final plat, the applicant
shall provide, in lieu of this public street section, a public cross-access easement to connect the
south portion of Buckstone Avenue with the stub street in Woodburn Subdivision to the north.
6. Construct the south portion of Buckstone Avenue as proposed with drive aisles 21-feet wide
(measured back-of-curb to back-of-curb) and islands at least 4-feet wide where it is divided, and
vertical curb., gutter, and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalks along both sides. Where parking
aisles are located, construct 30-foot wide divided street sections. Construct Buckstone Avenue
with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalks. Buckstone Avenue shall
intersect with Ustick Road no closer than 330-feet from Venable Lane (measured centerline-to-
centerline). The District may restrict Buckstone Avenue to right-in/right-out at some time in the
future.
7. Construct traffic islands with trees at least 6-feet wide with root barriers or 8-feet wide without.
8. Construct Cooper Lane as a 42-foot street section (with 9-foot parking aisles as proposed) with
vertical curb., gutter and sidewalk aligning with the private drive in Cedar Springs Professional
Center to the east and terminating as a stub street to the west. Install a sign at the west
terminus of Cooper Lane stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."
9. Provide a temporary public turnaround easement in the driveway nearest Cooper Lane's east
terminus, to expire when Cooper Lane is extended to the west.
10. Construct all commercial driveways onto Buckstone Avenue and Cooper Lane as proposed.
Driveways must be no wider than 36-feet and paved their full width at least 30-feet into each
site. If constructing curb return type driveways, 15-foot radii will be required.
11. Comply with all Standard Conditions of Approval.
