2 Verona 4
B. Findings for Consideration
1. McMillan Road/Ten Mile 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.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete
sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: In the summer of 2007, the applicant entered into a
cooperative development agreement with ACHD. As a part of this agreement it was agreed upon
that the applicant would improve the intersection and roadways that were affected by the
Verona/Bridgetower subdivision. In the summer of 2008 the applicant will widen and signalize the
Ten Mile/McMillan intersection (6-lanes on Ten Mile and 4-lanes on McMillan). The intersection will
taper back approximately 1,000 on each leg to a 5-lane roadway on Ten Mile and a 3-lane roadway
on McMillan. The road widening includes the construction of bike lanes, vertical curb and gutter.
All necessary right-of-way dedication was established in the cooperative development agreement.
The applicant shall be required to construct a 5-foot detached (or 7-foot attached) concrete
sidewalk located no closer than 41-feet from centerline of Ten Mile Road and a 5-foot detached
concrete sidewalk on McMillan Road to match existing improvements.
2. Driveways
Access Management 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.
Gravel Tracking 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.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing 8 driveways in the following locations (measured
near edge to near edge):
1) Intersecting Ten Mile Road approximately 260-feet north of McMillan Road and will align
with the driveway on the west side of Ten Mile Road (proposed right-in/right-out).
2) Intersecting McMillan Road approximately 440-feet east of Ten Mile Road and will align
with the driveway on the south side of McMillan Road (full access).
3) Intersecting McMillan Road approximately 210-feet west of N. Cortona Way and will
align with Montelino (full access).
4) Two intersecting N. Cortona Way (one east and one west) approximately 220-feet north
of McMillan Road (both are full access).
3 Verona 4
5) Intersecting W. Milano Drive approximately 250-feet west of Ten Mile Road and will align
with an existing driveway on the north side of W. Milano Drive (full access).
6) Intersecting W. Milano Drive approximately 480-feet east of Ten Mile Road (full access).
7) Intersecting N. Cortina Way in alignment with W. Turin Court (full access).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The driveways location and function are approved as
proposed. The applicant will be required to install a 6-inch raised concrete median on Ten Mile Rd.
to restrict the first driveway to right-in/right-out.
3. Tree Planter Policy
Tree Planter Policy: The applicant should also comply with the District's Tree Planter Width Interim
Policy which 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
Construct the driveways as proposed. Install a 6-inch raised concrete median on Ten Mile Road to
restrain the first driveway to right-in/right-out. Pave the driveways to their full width and at least 30-
feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement.
2. Construct a 7-foot attached or 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk at the site abutting Ten Mile
Road.
3. Construct a 5-foot detached sidewalk at the site abutting McMillan Road to match existing
improvements.
4. Comply with all Standard Conditions of Approval.
D. Standard Conditions of Approval
Any existing irrigation facilities shall be relocated outside of the right-of-way.
2. Private sewer or water systems are prohibited from being located within any ACRD roadway or
right-of-way.
3. All utility relocation costs associated with improving street frontages abutting the site shall be borne
by the developer.
4. Replace any existing damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk and any that may be damaged during the
construction of the proposed development. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file
number) for details.
5. Comply with the District's Tree Planter Width Interim Policy.
6. Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in writing by
the District. Contact the District's Utility Coordinator at 387-6258 (with file numbers) for details.
4 Verona 4
7. All design and construction shall be in accordance with the Ada County Highway District Policy
Manual, ISPWC Standards and approved supplements, Construction Services procedures and all
applicable ACRD Ordinances unless specifically waived herein. An engineer registered in the State
of Idaho shall prepare and certify all improvement plans.
8. The applicant shall submit revised plans for staff approval, prior to issuance of building permit (or
other required permits), which incorporates any required design changes.
9. Construction, use and property development shall be in conformance with all applicable
requirements of the Ada County Highway District prior to District approval for occupancy.
10. Payment of applicable road impact fees are required prior to building construction. The assessed
impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that time.
11. It is the responsibility of the applicant to verify all existing utilities within the right-of-way. The
applicant at no cost to ACRD shall repair existing utilities damaged by the applicant. The applicant
shall be required to call DIGLINE (1-800-342-1585) at least two full business days prior to breaking
ground within ACHD right-of-way. The applicant shall contact ACHD Traffic Operations 387-6190 in
the event any ACHD conduits (spare or filled) are compromised during any phase of construction.
12. No change in the terms and conditions of this approval shall be valid unless they are in writing and
signed by the applicant or the applicant's authorized representative and an authorized
representative of the Ada County Highway District. The burden shall be upon the applicant to
obtain written confirmation of any change from the Ada County Highway District.
13. Any change by the applicant in the planned use of the property which is the subject of this
application, shall require the applicant to comply with all rules, regulations, ordinances, plans, or
other regulatory and legal restrictions in force at the time the applicant or its successors in interest
advises the Highway District of its intent to change the planned use of the subject property unless a
waiver/variance of said requirements or other legal relief is granted pursuant to the law in effect at
the time the change in use is sought.
E. Conclusions of Law
The proposed site plan is approved, if all of the Site Specific and Standard Conditions of Approval
are satisfied.
2. ACRD requirements are intended to assure that the proposed use/development will not place an
undue burden on the existing vehicular transportation system within the vicinity impacted by the
proposed development.

2 Verona 4
B. Findings for Consideration
1. McMillan Road/Ten Mile 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.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete
sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: In the summer of 2007, the applicant entered into a
cooperative development agreement with ACRD. As a part of this agreement it was agreed upon
that the applicant would improve the intersection and roadways that were affected by the
Verona/Bridgetower subdivision. In the summer of 2008 the applicant will widen and signalize the
Ten Mile/McMillan intersection (6-lanes on Ten Mile and 4-lanes on McMillan). The intersection will
taper back approximately 1,000 on each leg to a 5-lane roadway on Ten Mile and a 3-lane roadway
on McMillan. The road widening includes the construction of bike lanes, vertical curb and gutter.
All necessary right-of-way dedication was established in the cooperative development agreement.
The applicant shall be required to construct a 5-foot detached (or 7-foot attached) concrete
sidewalk located no closer than 41-feet from centerline of Ten Mile Road and a 5-foot detached
concrete sidewalk on McMillan Road to match existing improvements.
2. Driveways
Access Management 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.
Gravel Tracking 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.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing 6 driveways in the following locations (measured
near edge to near edge):
1) Intersecting Ten Mile Road approximately 260-feet north of McMillan Road and will align
with the driveway on the west side of Ten Mile Road (proposed right-in/right-out).
2) Intersecting McMillan Road approximately 440-feet east of Ten Mile Road and will align
with the driveway on the south side of McMillan Road (full access).
3) Intersecting McMillan Road approximately 210-feet east of N. Cortona Way and will align
with Montelino (full access).
4) Two intersecting N. Cortona Way (one east and one west) approximately 220-feet north
of McMillan Road (both are full access).
3 Verona 4
5) Intersecting W. Milano Drive approximately 250-feet west of Ten Mile Road and will align
with an existing driveway on the north side of W. Milano Drive (full access).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The driveways location and function are approved as
proposed. The applicant will be required to install a 6-inch raised concrete median on Ten Mile Rd.
to restrict the first driveway to right-in/right-out.
3. Tree Planter Policy
Tree Planter Policy: The applicant should also comply with the District's Tree Planter Width Interim
Policy which 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
Construct the driveways as proposed. Install a 6-inch raised concrete median on Ten Mile Road to
restrain the first driveway to right-in/right-out. Pave the driveways to their full width and at least 30-
feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement.
2. Construct a 7-foot attached or 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk at the site abutting Ten Mile
Road.
3. Construct a 5-foot detached sidewalk at the site abutting McMillan Road to match existing
improvements.

Purpose: To develop the necessary avenue for proper notification to utilities of local highway and
road improvements, to help the utilities in budgeting and to clarify the already existing process.
1) Notification: Within five (5) working days upon notification of required right of way improvements
by Highway entities, developers shall provide written notification to the affected utility owners and
the Ada County Utility Coordinating Council (UCC). Notification shall include but not be limited to,
project limits, scope of roadway improvements/project, anticipated construction dates, and any
portions critical to the right of way improvements and coordination of utilities.
2) Plan Review: The developer shall provide the highway entities and all utility owners with
preliminary project plans and schedule a plan review conference. Depending on the scale of utility
improvements, a plan review conference may not be necessary, as determined by the utility
owners. Conference notification shall also be sent to the UCC. During the review meeting the
developer shall notify utilities of the status of right of way/easement acquisition necessary for their
project. At the plan review conference each company shall have the right to appeal, adjust and/or
negotiate with the developer on its own behalf. Each utility shall provide the developer with a letter
of review indicating the costs and time required for relocation of its facilities. Said letter of review is
to be provided within thirty calendar days after the date of the plan review conference.
3) Revisions: The developer is responsible to provide utilities with any revisions to preliminary plans.
Utilities may request an updated plan review meeting if revisions are made in the preliminary plans
which affect the utility relocation requirements. Utilities shall have thirty days after receiving the
revisions to review and comment thereon.
4) Final Notification: The developer will provide highway entities, utility owners and the UCC with
final notification of its intent to proceed with right of way improvements and include the anticipated
date work will commence. This notification shall indicate that the work to be performed shall be
pursuant to final approved plans by the highway entity. The developer shall schedule a
preconstruction meeting prior to right of way improvements. Utility relocation activity shall be
completed within the times established during the preconstruction meeting, unless otherwise
agreed upon.
Notification to the Ada County UCC can be sent to: 50 S. Cole Rd. Boise 83707, or Visit iducc.com
