The Franklin/Linder Road intersection is listed in the Capital Improvement Plan to be widened and the
signal to be modified/replaced befinreen 2014 and 2018.
The Meridian Split Corridor Phase 1 is currently scheduled in the Five-Year Work Plan to modify Meridian

anticipated to begin in February 2009.
The Meridian Split Comdor Phase 2 is scheduled in the Five-year Work Plan to modify Meridian Road and
Main Street to a one-way each direction corridor from Franklin Road to Fairview Avenue with construction
to begin in 2012.
B. Findinqs for Consideration
1. W. Franklin 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's Proposal: The applicant has not proposed any improvements to Franklin Road.
StafF Comment/Recommendation: Due to the fact that Franklin Road abutting the site is built out with
curb, gutter and sidewalk, no additional improvements or right-of-way dedication is required with this
application.
2. Access
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 Paving 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
2 MCZC-08-056
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 roadwray edge.
Driveway Width Policy: 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 constnacted 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.
Driveway Offset Policy: District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways
with a speed limit of 35 to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from any existing or proposed driveway.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to eliminate the use of the existing 30-foot wide driveway
intersecting Franklin Road located approximately 12-feet east of the west property line (measured near
edge to property line) but is not proposing to close the driveway with curb, gutter and sidewalk. The
applicant is proposing to utilize the existing 34-foot wide driveway intersecting Franklin Road at the east
property line, which is shared with the parcel to the east.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal to utilize the eastern access meets District
policy and should be approved with this application. Due to the fact that the driveway is accessing an
arterial roadway, the applicant should be required to construct the driveway as a curb retum type driveway
with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge. Pave the driveway to its full width and at least 30-
feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway. Staff is supportive of applicant's proposal
to eliminate the use of the driveway intersecting Franklin Road approximately 12-feet east of the west
property line (measured near edge to property line). The applicant should be required to close the
driveway with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk, to match the existing improvements along
Franklin Road.
3. °Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Width Interim Policy prohibits all trees
in planters less than 8-feet in width without the installation of root barriers. Class II trees may be allowed in
planters with a minimum width of 8-feet, and Class I and Class III trees may be allowed in planters with a
minimum width of 10-feet.
D. Site Specific Conditions of Aaproval
1. Close the driveway, intersecting Franklin Road located approximately 12-feet east of the west property line
(measured near edge to property line), to match the existing vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete
sidewalk along Franklin Road.
2. The location of the existing 34-foot wide shared driveway intersecting Franklin Road at the east property
line is approved as a shared access. Constru~t the driveway as a curb retum type driveway with 15-foot
radii abutting the existing roadway edge. Pave the driveway to its full width and at least 30-feet into the site
beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway.
3. Provide a cross access agreement for the existing shared driveway.
4. Comply with all Standard Conditions of Approval.
E. Standard Conditions of Approval
1. 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 ACHD roadway or right-of-
way.
3. All utility relocation costs associated with improving street frontages abutting the site shall be bome by the
developer.
3 MCZC-08-056
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 6y the
District. Contact the District's Utility Coordinator at 387-6258 (with file numbers) for details.
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 ACHD
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 effe~t 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 ACHD 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.
F. Conclusions of Law
The proposed site plan is approved, if ail of the Site Specific and Standard Conditions of Approval are
satisfied.
2. ACHD 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.
