~. Findings for Consideration
1. Traffic Impact Study
URS prepared a traffic impact study for the proposed Oakcreek Subdivision. Below is an executive
summary of the findings as presented by URS. ACHD staff comments on the submitted traffic
impact study can be found below under Staff Comment/Recommendations.
The proposed Oak Creek Subdivision is a residential development site located near the corner of
the Black Cat and McMillan intersection. The project area is expected to contain 118 residential
units.
At build out, Phase 1 traffic will generate 1,043 daily vehicles of which the a.m. and p.m.
peak hour traffic is only 82 and 110 vehicles per hour respectively.
2 Oakcreek Subdivision
• The intersection of Black Cat Road and Chinden Boulevard will operate at LOS F under
forecast Phase 1 traffic conditions. This level of service affects only 68 northbound vehicles.
The traffic volumes do not meet the minimum volume needed for the peak hour signal
warrants. No improvements are needed to accommodate the Phase 1 traffic volumes.
• For the year 2015 Phase 1 build out condition, the McDermott Road/McMillan Road
intersection is forecasted to operate at LOS 8 during the p.m. peak hour. No improvements
are needed to accommodate the existing, background or build out traffic volumes.
• The intersection of Black Cat Road and McMillan Road will operate at LOS B under forecast
Phase 1 traffic conditions. No improvements are needed to accommodate the Phase 1
traffic volumes.
• The site plan shows a new site access (i. e. east site access) intersection on McMillan Road,
approximately 600-feet west of the Black Cat intersection. The forecast build out traffic
volumes do not meet the peak hour traffic signal warrants. With added left turn lanes on the
westbound and norfhbound approaches, the intersection will operate at LOS C as an
unsignalized intersection. The Phase 1 traffic volumes are forecast to operate at LOS A.
Added left turn lanes will be required on all approaches.
• Internally, most of the subdivision streets with front-on-housing have projected ADT volumes
less than 1, 000 vehicles per day.
• The forecast traffic volumes do not meet the peak hour traffic signal warrants at the new
east site access intersection on McMillan Road, approximately 600-ft west of Black Cat
Road. Construct a westbound left turn lane on McMillan Road. Provide sufficient width on
the new northbound road to accommodate separate left and right turn lanes.
• The forecast traffic volumes do not meet the peak hour traffic signal warrants at the new
south site access intersection on Black Cat Road approximately 660-ft south of McMillan
Road. Construct a northbound left turn lane on Black Cat Road to accommodate separate
left .and right turn lanes.
Staff Comment/Recommendations: Staff comments are provided by District Traffic Services staff.
• The McMillan/Black Cat intersection is an all-way stop and not atwo-way stop as analyzed.
• The District believes the TIS may be overestimating the traffic distribution on Black Cat and
underestimating the distribution on McMillan east of Black Cat. Please demonstrate how the
engineer determined the traffic distribution.
• The TIS should be updated and revised to reflect any changes to the trip distribution as a
result of addressing the comments above.
2. Black Cat 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).
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way from
centerline and has proposed to construct a 5-foot sidewalk located approximately 55-feet from
centerline.
Staff CommentlRecommendation: As identified in the Capital Improvement Plan, Black Cat
Road is scheduled to be widened to a 5-lane lane minor arterial roadway. The District is currently
acquiring right-of-way to accommodate for this project. Therefore, the applicant should either
3 Oakcreek Subdivision
dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way abutting the site, OR dedicate 38-feet of right-of-way from centerline
and provide a 10-foot sidewalk easement along Black Cat Road abutting the site. In either case, the
applicant should construct 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk a minimum of 41-feet from the
centerline of Black Cat Road abutting the site. The detached sidewalk will need to be located
completely within the right-of-way or completely within an easement.
As identified in the submitted traffic impact study a. center turn lane is warranted on Black Cat Road
at the intersection with W. Quintale Road. Therefore the applicant should construct a center turn
lane on Black Cat Road at the intersection with W. Quintale Street. Coordinate the design and
location of the turn lane with District Traffic Services and Development Review staff.
3. McMillan 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).
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to dedicate 48-feet from the centerline of
McMillan Road and is proposing to construct a 5-foot detached sidewalk located approximately 55-
feetfrom centerline.
Staff Recommendation: As identified in the Capital Improvement Plan and the North Meridian
Transportation Plan, McMillan Road is scheduled to be widened to a three-lane minor arterial
roadway. The District is currently acquiring right-of-way to accommodate for this project. Therefore,
the applicant should dedicate 35-feet of right-of-way abutting the site and construct a 5-foot
detached concrete sidewalk a minimum of 28-feet from the centerline of McMillan Road abutting the
site. The detached sidewalk will need to be located completely within the right-of-way or completely
within an easement.
As identified in the submitted traffic impact study a center turn lane is warranted on McMillan Road
at the intersection with N. Oakstone Avenue. Therefore the applicant should construct a center turn
lane on Black Cat Road at the intersection with N. Oakstone Street. Coordinate the design and
location of the turn lane with District Traffic Services and Development Review staff.
4. Roadway Offsets
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.
Offset Policy: District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of
300-feet from an arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct W. Quintale Street to intersect N.
Black Cat Road approximately 410-feet south of the Black Cat/McMillan intersection (measured
near edge to near edge) and N. Oakstone Avenue to intersect W. McMillan Road approximately
600-feet west of the Black Cat/McMillan intersection (measured near edge to near edge).
Staff Recommendation: The applicant's proposal for access onto arterial roadways meets District
policy and should be approved with this application.
4 Oakcreek Subdivision
5. Internal Streets
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 Street Section: 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.
Island Policy: 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.
District policy also requires any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way
dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of
this should be required on the final plat. The design should be reviewed and approved by ACHD's
Development staff.
Turnaround Policy: District policy 7205.2.1 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a
minimum turning radius of 45-feet. Landscape and parking islands may be constructed in
turnarounds if a minimum inside curb radius of 28-feet, and a minimum outside radius of 45-feet are
provided. The pavement width shall be sufficient to allow the turning around of a standard
AASHTO SU design vehicle without backing.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct the internal streets (W. Quintale, W.
Astonte, W. Los Flores, N. Oakstone, W. Willowside, and W. Torana) as a 36-foot street section
with rolled curb and gutter, an 8-foot landscape strip and a 5-foot detached sidewalk. The applicant
is also proposing to construct two cul-de-sac turnarounds at either end of W. Torano Court.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant should be required to construct vertical curb at
the two access roads (N. Oakstone Ave and W. Quintale Street) where no front on housing is
proposed. The applicant should construct the internal streets as 36-foot street sections (measured
back of curb to back of curb) with rolled curb, gutter and a 5-foot sidewalk. The detached sidewalk
will need to be located completely within the right-of-way or completely within an easement. The
applicant will be required to ensure that the street sections on either side of the proposed center
landscape islands maintain a 21-foot street section. The applicant's proposal to construct two cul-
de-sac turnarounds at either end of W. Torano Court meets District policy and should be approved
with this application.
6. Stub Streets
Stub Street Policy: 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 is proposing to construct 3 stub streets with this application
5 Oakcreek Subdivision
The first stub, W. Quintale Street located approximately 370-feet
south of the north property line (measured near edge to property
line).
The second stub, N. Oakstone Avenue located approximately
400-feet west of the east property line (measured near edge to
property line).
The third stub, W. Torana Court located approximately 125-feet
north of the south property line (measured near edge to property
line).
Staff Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District• policy and should be approved
with this application.
7. Bridge for Settlers Canal Crossing
The District will require that the applicant submit the bridge plans for the crossing of the Settlers
Canal (Oakstone Avenue) for review and approval prior to the pre-construction meeting and plat
approval.
8. Tree Planters

~-da County Uti'Iity Coordinating Council
Developer/Local Improvement District
Right of Way Improvements Guideline Request
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

Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action
Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action: A Commissioner, a member of ACHD
staff or any other person objecting to any final action taken by the Commission may request
reconsideration of that action, provided the request is not for a reconsideration of an action
previously requested to be reconsidered, an action whose provisions have been partly and
materially carried out, or an action that has created a contractual relationship with third parties.
a. Only a Commission member who voted with the prevailing side can move for
reconsideration, but the motion may be seconded by any Commissioner and is voted on
by all Commissioners present.
If a motion to reconsider is made and seconded it is subject to a motion to postpone to a
certain time.
b. The request must be in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the Highway District no
later than 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to the Commission's next scheduled regular
meeting following the meeting at which the action to be reconsidered was taken. Upon
receipt of the request, the Secretary shall cause the same to be placed on the agenda
for that next scheduled regular Commission meeting.
c. The request for reconsideration must be supported by written documentation setting
forth new facts and information not presented at the earlier meeting, or a changed
situation that has developed since the taking of the earlier vote, or information
establishing an error of fact or law in the earlier action. The request may also be
supported by oral testimony at the meeting.
d. If a motion to reconsider passes, the effect is the original matter is in the exact position it
occupied the moment before it was voted on originally. It will normally be returned to
ACRD staff for further review. The Commission may set the date of the meeting at
which the matter is to be returned. The Commission shall only take action on the
original matter at a meeting where the agenda notice so provides.
e. At the meeting where the original matter is again on the agenda for Commission action,
interested persons and ACRD staff may present such written and oral testimony as the
President of the Commission determines to be appropriate, and the Commission may
take any action the majority of the Commission deems advisable.
If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to
cover administrative costs, as established by the Commission.
