3. Existing Roadway Improvements and Right-of-Way Adjacent To and Near the Site
• Linder Road is currently improved with 2 traffic lanes, and no curb gutter or sidewalk abutting
the site. There is 50-feet of right-of--way existing for Linder Road (25-feet from centerline).
• Chinden Boulevard (US 20/26) is currently improved with 2 trafi'ic lanes, and no curb, gutter or
sidewalk abutting the site; east of Linder, Chinden has two traffic lanes and a center tum lane.
There is 80-feet of right-of-way existing for Chinden Boulevard. Chinden Boulevard is under the
jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department
4. Existing Access: There are currently no defined access points to the site on either Linder Road
or Chinden Boulevard.
5. Site History: ACHD has not previously reviewed this site for a development application.
Development Impacts
6. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 8,756 additional vehicle trips per
day based on the submitted traffic impact study.
7. 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.
8. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was required with this application. Below are
the principal conclusions of the submitted TIS prepared by Washington Group International.
• The proposed development is project to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) volume of 8,756
vehicles of which the a.m. peak hour traffic is 347 vehicles per hour (vph) and the p.m. peak
hour traffic is 954 vph.
• As a result of the site build-out, traffic on the roadways in the project vicinity are expected to
increase. Traft•ic on Chinden Boulevard may increase by 875 vpd west of Linder Road and
2,600 vpd east. Traffic on Linder Road may increase by 4,378 vpd north and south of Chinden
Blvd.
• The intersection of Linder Road and Chinden Boulevard is signalized with a single thru/right
lane and separate left turn bay on each leg. This intersection currently operates at capacity at
Level of Service (LOS) E and 78.8 seconds of delay with the existing traffic volumes during the
p.m. peak hour. For the Background Year 2011 condition (e.g. regional growth), the intersection
is predicted to operate at LOS F. The background condition can be mitigated to provide LOS E
(77.4 seconds of delay) with the addition of a second through lane on each Chinden Boulevard
approach. The improvement of the second through lane is needed to accommodate the
background traffic volumes.
• Under Year 2010 buil-out conditions with the project-related traffic plus the background traffic,
the intersection is predicted to operate at LOS F (149.2 seconds of delay) with the
improvements needed to support the background traffic volumes. The intersection can be
improved to LOSE (71.7 seconds of delay) with the addition of right turn lanes on all
approaches. The right turn lane improvements are needed to accommodate the site generated

• •
traffic volumes. Approximately 12.8% of the p.m. peak hour traffic volumes are attributed to the
project site traffic.
The site access intersection with Linder Road is predicted to operate well under capacity at LOS
A for the northbound, left turn lane traffic entering the site during the a.m, peak hour. The site
access intersection with Linder Road is predicted to operate well under capacity at LOS B for
the northbound, left-turn traffic entering the site during the p.m. peak hour.
The exiting traffic will have additional traffic conflicts and can expect longer delays. The left-turn
traffic will have LOS D with 25.9 seconds of delay during the a.m. peak hour. The exiting traffic
will have additional traffic conflicts and can expect longer delays. The left-turn traffic will have
LOS F with 650 seconds of delay during the p.m. peak hour. With delays this long, some exiting
traffic can be expected to follow an alternate travel route.
The traffic analysis shows that two design improvements are needed at this intersection.
a) Separate left and right turn lanes will be needed for the eastbound (exiting) approach,
and
b) A northbound left-turn lane is needed on Linder Road.
The forecast daily build-out volumes (Year 2010) for all of the roadways in the vicinity of the
project are lower than COMPASS deve{opment thresholds. The area's roadways do not require
any capacity improvements under Year 2010 Build-out conditions.

10. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program
The intersection of Linder Road and Chinden Boulevard is identified in the current Capital
Improvements Plan to be widened. The ongoing update for the CIP proposes that Linder Road be
widened to a 5-lane arterial roadway standard from Floating Feather to Overland Road.
B. Findings for Consideration
1. Linder 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.
Knight Hill Center/MPP-06-005/MAZ-06-006
•
•
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: Dedicate a total of 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline
of Linder Road abutting the parcel by means of a warranty deed. 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 ACRD 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 owner will be paid the fair market value of the
right-of-way dedicated which is an addition to existing ACRD right-of-way.
The applicant will be required to construct a 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site on
Linder Road. The sidewalk should be located a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of the
roadway. The applicant should work with ACHD and the landowner of the out-parcel that fronts on
Linder Road to extend a continuous sidewalk to the intersection of Linder Road and Chinden
Boulevard.
The applicant will be required to construct a northbound left-turn lane on Linder Road at the site
access intersection.
2. Chinden Boulevard
Chinden Boulevard is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department. The applicant
has coordinated with ITD in relation to the right-of-way proposed to be preserved (100-feet from
centerline) and the proposed access point. The applicant has not proposed any access points to
Chinden Boulevard from this site.
3. Driveways
Offset Policy: District policy 72-F4 (1) requires driveways located on arterial roadways near a
signalized intersection to be located a minimum of 440-feet from the signalized intersection for a
full-access driveway and a minimum of 220-feet from the signalized intersection for aright-in/right-
out only 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. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be
required for driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
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 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 to construct one full access driveway on Linder
Road located at the south property line. The proposed driveway is approximately 600-feet south of
the intersection of Linder Road and Chinden Boulevard.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should be
approved with this application. The applicant will be required to construct a separate left and right
turn lane for the eastbound (exiting) approach.
4. 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 properly 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."
In addition, a stub street must meet the following conditions:
1. A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the street intersection and drain surface
water toward that intersection, unless a satisfactory storm drain system is installed.
2. The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will
remain free of obstructions.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to connect to Gertie Place, a public stub street
that was constructed to the site's south property line with Lochsa Falls Subdivision. The applicant
is proposing to connect to Everest Street, a private street that was constructed with Lochsa Falls
Subdivision as a stub street to the site's west property line. The private street serves as a frontage
road for the commercial lots within Lochsa Falls Subdivision and provides access to the signalized
intersection at Long Lake Way and Chinden Boulevard. The applicant is proposing to provide a
cross-access easement to the 0.6-acre out-parcel to the south. This proposal would eliminate the
possibility of an additional access point to Linder Road in close proximity to the proposed driveway.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: District staff is supportive of the applicant's proposals and
recommends that they be approved with this application.
5. 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.
6. Other Access
Linder Road is classified as a minor arterial roadway. Other than the access specifically approved
with this application, direct lot access is prohibited to this roadway and should be noted on the final
plat.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1. Dedicate a total of 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Linder Road abutting the parcel by
means of a warranty deed. 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 owner will be paid the fair market value of the right-of-way dedicated which
is an addition to existing ACRD right-of-way.
2. Construct a 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site on Linder Road. The sidewalk shall
be located a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of the roadway. The applicant should work with

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

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
