Descriation of Adjacent Surrounding Area: Direction Land Use Zonin North Sin le-famil residential R-8 South Sin le-famil residential R-8 East Sin le-famil residential R-8 West Single-family residential R-8 3. Existing Roadway Improvements and Right-of-Way Adjacent To and Near the Site • E. Carlton Street is currently improved with 28-feet of pavement, and valley curb and gutter near the site. E. Carlton Street has approximately 60-feet of right-of--way (30-feet from centerline) near the site. Fullmer Subdivision • The public alley abutting the site to the south is unpaved and unopened within approximately 16-feet of right-of--way. 4. Existing Access: The site currently has no defined access points onto Broadway Avenue. 5. Site History: ACRD has not previously reviewed this site for a development application. Development Impacts 6. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 20 additional vehicle trips per day, based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual 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. Existing Condition of Area Roadways: Roadway Frontage Functional Traffic Count Level of Speed Classification Service* Limit Carlton St. 55' Local 2,921 east of Main N/A 20 MPH 10/2/2007 E. 5~" Street 0' Local 315 north of Pine N/A 20 MPH 10/5/2006 Pine Avenue 0' Minor Arterial 3,966 east of Main N/A 20 MPH Street on 2/13/2008 *Acceptable level of service for atwo-lane minor arterial roadway is "D" (14,000 VTD). 9. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program: • Pine Avenue is scheduled in the Capital Improvement Plan to be widened to 5-lanes from Locust Grove to Eagle Road between 2013 and 2017. ~. Findings for Consideration 1. Turnaround Turnaround Policy: District policy 7205.2.1 requires tumarounds 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's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a curb and gutter at the terminus of E. Carlton Avenue. Staff Comment/Recommendation: Typically ACHD does not allow a private drive to connect a public roadway to another private drive. However, due to the fact that the private drive will be gated at its intersection with Cathy Lane, ACHD staff is recommending a modification of policy in an effort to make a clear distinction between the public roadway and private drive. Staff recommends allowing the applicant to construct rolled curb and gutter at the terminus of E. Carlton Avenue to connect to the existing rolled curb and gutter abutting the site. Staff also recommends a modification of policy to allow the applicant to not construct sidewalk abutting the site, as there is no sidewalk currently existing on adjoining properties and the proposed driveway takes up a majority of the sites frontage. Therefore, the applicant will be required to construct rolled curb and gutter at the terminus of E. Carlton Avenue abutting the site. Coordinate the design of the improvements with ACRD Development Services staff. 2 Fullmer Subdivision 2. Alley Alley paving Policy: District Policy 7204.10.1 states if the proposed development is not a single family detached residence and it takes access from an alley, the developer will be required to pave the entire width of the right-of--way from the nearest public street to and abutting the development. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any access or improvement to the alley. Staff Comment/Recommendation: Due to the fact that the applicant is not proposing to take access from the public alley, there will be no requirements for alley improvements with this application. 3. Driveways 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 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 a 20-foot wide driveway at the east terminus if E. Carlton Avenue. Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District Policy and should be approved with this application. Pave the driveway to its full width and at least 30-feet into the site from the edge of pavement. 4. 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. C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval 1. Construct rolled concrete curb and gutter at the terminus of E. Carlton Avenue. Coordinate the design with ACHD Development Services staff. 2. Construct a 20-foot wide driveway at the terminus of E. Carlton Avenue, as proposed. Pave the driveway to its full width and at least 30-feet into the site from the edge of pavement. 3. Comply with all Standard Conditions of Approval. D. Standard Conditions of Approval 1. Any existing imgation 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 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. 3 Fullmer Subdivision 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 (1-811-342-1585) at least two full business days prior to breaking ground within ACRD right-of-way.

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 1. 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.
