Rosepoint, Ste. C Boise, ID 83713 Applicant: Kevin Howell Construction 4822 N. Rosepoint, Ste. C Boise, ID 83713 Representative: Gary A. Lee CIO J-U-B Engineers, Inc. 250 S. Beechwood Avenue, Ste. 201 Boise, ID 83709 Application Information The applicant is requesting preliminary plat, conditional use, annexation and rezone approval from the City of Meridian to subdivide 79.8-acres of currently zoned RUT property into 216 residential lots, 14 commercial lots and 14 common lots within the proposed R-8, L-O and C-G zones. The site is located on the northwest corner of Linder Road and McMillan Road. Acreage: 79.8-acres Current zoning: RUT Proposed zoning: R-8 = 70.1-acres, L-O & GG = 9.7-acres Proposed buildable lots: 230-lots (216 single-family, 14-commercial/office) Proposed common lots: 14 Vicinity Map A. Findings of Fact 1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 3,772 additional vehicle trips perday (40 existing) based on the traffic study submitted by Washington Group International (see below). 2. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any building permit(s) on the site. The fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance in effect at the time the District receives a development application or building permit submittal. 3. Traffic Impact Study: The following are the principal findings and recommendations from the Traffic Impact Study for the Kelly Creek Development prepared by the Washington Group: 1. The proposed development is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of 3,772 vehicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour traffic (PHT) is projected to be 352 vehicles per hour (vph). It was assumed that 15% of the trips generated by the site will be captured by the office and commercial developments in the subdivision. 2. At build-out (2009), the daily traffic on the main roadways is estimated to be approximately 590 vehicles at W. Apgar Creek Street and 540 vehicles at N. Shadow Creek Way. The COMPASS- planning threshold (Level of Service C) for atwo-lane collector roadway (non-business district) is 8,500 vehicles per day. Based on these criteria, the main roadways will operate well under capacity. 3. All of the internal streets planned for front-on-housing have daily traffic projections less than 1,000 vpd. 4. A separate westbound right-rum lane is required on McMillan Road at the N. Shadow Creek Way approach. A separate southbound right-turn lane is required at the W. Apgar Creek Street site access intersections. A separate northbound left-rum lane is required on Linder Road at W. Apgar Creek Street. The W. Deer Crest Way approach required a special taper off of Linder Road for the southbound right turns. These requirements were determined using ACHD's warrant for right-rum bays and left-turn bays. 5. The site access intersections are proposed to be controlled by a stop sign in the approaches to both Linder Road and McMillan Road. These intersections are projected to operate at LOS A or LOS B for the build out year of 2008. Auxiliary Lanes: The need for the auxiliary lanes will be dictated by both the phasing of this development and also the rate in which build-out occurs. The applicant may choose to install the necessary auxiliary turn lanes either when the project is built or when the warrant is met. If the later option is chosen, the necessary right-of-way needed to construct any required auxiliary lane(s) should be dedicated with the abutting final plat phase and constructed when the warrant is met. The necessity for auxiliary lane(s) (warrants) will need to be evaluated as each phase of the final plat is submitted. Intersection Analysis: The intersection of Linder Road and McMillan Road is currently anall-way stop with single lanes at all four approaches. The intersection is currently operating at a LOS B based on the most recent fuming counts. The COMPASS Model estimates that the volumes on Linder Road will increase by 2 3% each year between the yeaz 2000 and 2007 and the volumes on McMillan Road aze projected to increase by 12% for the same time period. Based on these assumptions, the intersection is estimated to operate at a LOS C in the build-out year of 2009. The following is a summary of the findings from the North Meridian Traffic Study performed by Washington Group International: Executive Summary of the North Meridian Traffic Plan The proposed 12-square mile study area between US 20/26 and Ustick Road and between McDermott Road and Eagle Road has been examined by the Ada County highway District (ACRD) for anticipated development build out. Based on development patterns in this area, and the concern surrounding the abutting roadways, ACRD hired Washington Group to conduct a traffic impact study of the northwestern Meridian area from Ustick Road to Chinden Boulevard, and from McDermott Road to Eagle Road. The study was necessary to determine what types of roadway improvements, especially at intersections, would be needed to accommodate the traffic in this area at full build out. The following are the principal findings and recommendations of the study: • The study area is anticipated to develop an additional 17,599 dwelling units, 2,744,000 square feet of office buildings, 1,929,000 square feet of retail buildings, 12 elementary schools, 2 senior high schools, 2 junior high schools, 38,260 square feet of church buildings, and approximately 60 acres of park, at full build out. • The build out scenario of the study area is projected to generate an average daily traffic {ADT) of 276,764 vehicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour traffic (PHT) will be 28,206 vehicles per hour (vph}. Out of these trips approximately 10% of the trips remain internal within each section, and 6% of the trips are pass-by trips. • The distribution of the traffic from all of the study area sections indicate that approximately 30% of the traffic directed towards south, 27% of the traffic directed towards east, 21% of the traffic directed towards west and north. The remaining 22% of the traffic is distributed within the study area. • At build out, traffic on the arterials is expected to significantly increase. Existing and Future Traffic Projections on Vicinity Roadways: • All of the arterial intersections in the study area are currently operating at acceptable level of service of °C" or better. • The majority of study intersections are projected to meet the peak hour traffic signal warrants at full build out of the area. • Several mid-mile intersections may warrant traffic signals due to the heavy left turn traffic volume. • At full build out, the following improvements may be anticipated within the study area: 0 5-lane road section with right turn lanes at some arterial and access intersections: Chinden Boulevard, McMillan Road east of Black Cat Road, Ustick Road east of Black Cat Road, Linder Road, Ten Mile Road, Meridian Road south of McMillan Road, and Locust Grove Road at Ustick Road. 0 3-lane road section with right turn lanes at some arterial and access intersections: McMillan Road west of Black Cat Road, Ustick Road west of Black Cat Road, McDermott Road, Black Cat Road, Meridian Road north of McMillan Road, and Locust Grove Road. Due to the large number of inquiries and submitted development applications in this area, staff and the development community realized that the potential for development in this area is significant and the traffic impact studies that each individual developer was submitting did not include the major surrounding developments that are "in the works". One option for funding improving these roadways is the implementation of an extra-ordinary impact fee overlay district. This applicant will be subject to extraordinary fees, should an overlay district be implemented in this area. 4. Site Information: There are currently four single-family dwellings on the site. The majority of the site is currently used for agricultural purposes. 5. Description of AdjacentfSurrounding Area: a. North: Agricultural (Lochsa Falls Subdivision) b. South: Agricultural (Bridgetower Subdivision) c. East: Agricultural (Paramount Subdivision) d. West: Agricultural (Lochsa Falls Subdivision) 6.

Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site Linder Road is currently improved with 2-travel lanes (approximately 25-feet of pavement), no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. McMillan Road is currently improved with 2-travel lanes (approximately 25-feet of pavement), no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. 8. Existing Right-of-Way There is currently 50-feet of right-of-way (25-feet prescriptively) for Linder Road abutting the site. There is currently 50-feet of right-of-way (25-feet. prescriptively) for McMillan Road abutting the site. NOTE: There is a large irrigation canal on the south side of McMillan Road. To avoid relocating the canal, the District should acquire all additional right-of-way on the north side of McMillan Road. 9. Existing Access to the Site Access is currently provided to the four existing single-family homes from three driveways on McMillan Road and one driveway on Linder Road. 10. Site History ACHD Planning and Development Review staff has not reviewed this site in the recent past. 11. Five Year Work Program/Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) Neither Linder Road nor McMillan Road is listed in the District's Five Year Work Program or CIP. The Linder Road/McMillan Road intersection is in the mast recently adopted CIP. 12. Other Development in Area Staff has been receiving large amounts of inquiries from developers in the north Meridian area. Many developers are prepared to plat entire section-miles, and have site plans developed. The preliminary plans generally include upwards of 700 to 900 r@sidential lots, schools, office/commercial lots, and city and neighborhood parks. The following list is a compilation of developments that the District has approved recently within this identified area: • On October 17, 2001 the Commission approved a rezone and preliminary plat application for an 8-lot industrial subdivision on 34.6-acres (Utility Subdivision). Note: Later denied by City of Meridian. • On November 7, 2001 the Commission approved a rezone and annexation application for 370- acres. The Commission also approved a preliminary plat for 336-lots on 175-acres and conditional use approval for a total of 692 single-family residences, 59 senior housing units, 17 office lots, 10 commercial lots, and an elementary school (Bridgetower Subdivision). • On February 6, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application fora 272-lot residential subdivision on 78-acres (Baldwin Park). • On April 17, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application fora 285-lot subdivision on 75-acres (Heritage Commons Subdivision). • On May 22, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application for an 876-lot mixed- use subdivision. The subdivision consisted of 862 single-family dwellings, 171 multi-family dwellings, 11 office buildings, 1 commercial building, 1 fire station, 1 city park and 1 private park (Lochsa Falls Subdivision). • On July 17, 2002, the Commission approved a request for approval for an annexation and rezone fora 135,000 square foot Middle School within the Meridian School District. • On August 21, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application fora 144-lot residential subdivision on 43-acres (Sundance Place Subdivision). • On August 28, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat application fora 12-lot residential subdivision on 5-acres (Drawbridge Subdivision). • ,On October 23, 2002, the Commission approved an 89-lot residential subdivision on 15.4-acres (Cobblefield Crossing Subdivision). • November 6, 2002, the Commission approved a 327-lot residential subdivision and 1 school site on 120-acres (Havasu Creek Subdivision). • On November 6, 2002, the Commission approved a 3-lot commercial subdivision that is anticipated to include a new Meridian School District Educational Campus that will include one elementary school, two senior high charter schools, two senior high professional technical high schools and one District administration building on 39-acres (Education Campus Subdivision). • On November 20, 2002, the Commission approved, Burney Glen Subdivision, a 117-lot single- family residential subdivision on 36-acres • On November 26, 2002, the Commission approved Cedar Springs North Subdivision, a 229-lot mixed-use subdivision consisting of 184-single-family residential lots, 12-office lots, 32-common lots and 1-lot that is anticipated to redevelop into attached single-family residential lots (town houses). • On January 8, 2003, the Commission approved Watersong Estates Subdivision, a 125-lot single- family residential subdivision located on 39.92. • On January 15, 2003, the Commission approved Silverleaf Subdivision, a 73-lot mixed-use subdivision. The subdivision is proposed to contain 72-single-family residential lots and 1- elementary school lots located on 38.65-acres. • On January 29, 2003, the Commission approved Parkstone Subdivision, a 334-mixed-use subdivision proposed to contain 275-single-family residential lots, 52-townhouse lots, 4-office lots, 2-commercial lots and 1-mini storage lot. • On February 19, 2003, the Commission approved Setter Cove Subdivision, a 16-lot single-family residential subdivision located on 10-acres. • On March 19, 2003, the Commission approved Paramount Subdivision, an 847-lot mixed-use subdivision proposed to contain 764 single-family residential lots, 5-commercial and office lots, 73-townhouse lots, 1multi-family lot (270 apartments), a community center, 1-elementary school lot, 1-high school lot and 2-church lots on 392-acres. • On April 23, 2003, the Commission approved Birthstone Creek Subdivision, a 98-lot residential subdivision consisting of 89 single-family lots, an elementary school site and 8 common lots on 34.5-acres. • On May 28, 2003, the Commission approved Blooming Meadows Subdivision, a 62-lot residential subdivision consisting of 32-single-family lots, 30 multi-family lots and 8 common lots on 11.3- acres. If staff examines each development individually, the roadway system appears adequate, but when staff begins to add in a second or third large-scale development, the traffic capacities of the surrounding roadways reach their 2020 planning thresholds. 6 One option for funding improving these roadways is the implementation of an extra-ordinary impact fee overlay district. Kelly Creek Subdivision may also be subject to any extraordinary fees that the District may impose. B. Findings for Consideration McMillan Road & Linder Road Right-of-Way & Sidewalk 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. District policy 7204.7.2 requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all arterial roadways. A parkway strip at least 5-feet wide is required between the back-of-curb and the street edge of a new 5-foot wide sidewalk. Staff Analysis and Recommendation: As a part of the North Meridian Traffic Plan, it was noted that a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot wide concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes would be adequate to accommodate the projected traffic volumes on McMillan Road. Further, there Is a large canal, Lemp Canal, on the south side of McMillan Road that would be costly to relocate if the future roadway widening is centered on the section line. Due to the location of the Lemp Canal it is anticipated that the pedestrian facilities on the south side of McMillan Road will be located on the south side of the canal. Due to the fact that the North Meridian Traffic Plan recommended a three lane roadway on McMillan Road and the fact that the Commission has supported the Traffic Plan's recommendations in the past, fhe applicanf should either dedicate an additional 75-feet of right-of-way, for a total right-of-way of 65-feet, OR dedicate 5-feet of additional right-of-way, for a total right-of-way of 55-feet (with an easement provided for the sidewalk) OR not dedicate any right-of-way for McMillan Road at this fime (with the sidewalk either being constructed in ifs ultimate location or in fhe existing right-of-way). The applicant is proposing to construct the sidewalk on McMillan Road in an easement, without dedicating additional right-ot-way (see Applicant's Letter). The existing 25-feet of right-of-way on the north side of McMillan Road will not allow the future back of curb to be located within the right-of-way. If ACRD acquires the ultimate right-of-way (40-feet from centerline) on McMillan Road then 15-feet of the proposed 25-foot wide landscape buffer will be eliminated. Similarly, if ACHD acquires sufficient right-of-way for the future back of curb (with the sidewalk in an easement in the proposed landscape buffer), 5-feet of the proposed 25-foot wide landscape buffer will be eliminated. These segments of Linder Road and McMillan Road are not listed in the adopted Capital Improvements Plan; therefore, impact fees cannot be used to purchase the right-of-way abutting the site. Right-of-way dedication is not required with this application. If the applicant chooses to dedicate the right-of-way, ACHD will not provide compensation. The applicant should be required to do one of the following: i. Dedicate by donation an additional 5-feet of right-of-way along McMillan Road (30-feet total from the current centerline) and an additional 13-feet of right-of-way along Linder Road (38- feet total from centerline), and construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along McMillan Road and Linder Road. The sidewalk on McMillan Road should be located a minimum of 35-feet from the centerline of the existing roadway. The sidewalk on Linder Road 7 should be located a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of the right-of-way. Provide the District with an easement for any portion of the sidewalk(s) that are not located within the right-of-way. ii. Dedicate by donation an additional 15-feet of right-of-way along McMillan Road (40-feet total from the current centerline) and an additional 23-feet of right-of-way along Linder Road (48- feet total from centerline}, and construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along McMillan Road and Linder Road, located within the new right-of-way. Coordinate the design and location of the sidewalk with District staff. iii. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along McMillan Road and Linder Road in their ultimate locations. The sidewalk on McMillan Road should be located a minimum of 35-feet from the centerline of the existing roadway. The sidewalk on Linder Road should be located a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of the right-of-way. Provide the District with an easement for any portion of the sidewalk(s) that are not located within the right-of--way. iv. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along McMillan Road and Linder Road, located at the back edge of the existing right- of-way (if feasible). Accomplish all necessary adjustments to properly accommodate existing drainage and utilities. Auxiliary Lanes When platting along functionally classified roadways, the applicant should allow for sufficient right-of- way at the intersections that have been identified as needing turn lanes, as determined in the submitted traffic impact study. These requirements were determined using ACHD's warrant for right- turn bays and left-tum bays. McMillan Road at Wild Flower Drive: A separate westbound right-turn lane is required on McMillan Road at the N. Shadow Creek Way (now Wild Flower Drive) approach. Linder Road at Apaar Creek Street. A separate southbound right-turn lane is required at the W. Apgar Creek Street site access intersections. A separate northbound left-turn lane is required on Linder Road at W. Apgar Creek Street. Linder Road at Deer Crest Wav: The W. Deer Crest Way approach required a special taper off of Linder Road for the southbound right turns. The applicant may choose to install the auxiliary tum lanes either when the phase abutting the necessary auxiliary lane(s) is being 6uilf, or when the warrant is met. If the later option is chosen, the necessary right-of-way needed to construct any required auxiliary lane(s) should be dedicated with the abutting final plat phase and constructed when the warrant is met. The necessity for auxiliary lane(s) (warrants) will need to be evaluated by the District as each phase of the frnal plat is submitted. 2. Access Points Direct access to arterials and collectors is normally restricted (District policy 7207.8). Other than the access points specifically approved below, direct lot or parcel access to McMillan Road and Linder Road is prohibited. Lof access restrictions, as required with this application, shall be stated on the final plat(s) that abut Linder Road and/or McMillan Road. 8 Public Streets District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300-feet from each other along an arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline). The applicant is proposing to construct a main entrance, Wild Flower Drive, to intersect McMillan Road approximately 1,450-feet west of Linder Road. The applicant is proposing to construct a main entrance, Apgar Creek Street, to intersect Linder Road approximately 530-feet north of McMillan Road. The applicant is proposing to construct a main entrance, Deer Crest Way, to intersect Linder Road approximately 430-feet north of Apgar Creek Street and approximately 390-feet south of the approved Wild Goose Drive in Lochsa Falis Subdivision. The proposed locations of Wild Flower Drive, Apgar Creek Street and Deer Crest Way meet District policy and should be approved with this application. OfficelCommercial Access District policy 72-F4 (2) requires driveways located on arterial roadways near astop-controlled intersection to be located a minimum of 220-feet from the intersection for afull-access driveway and a minimum of 150-feet from the intersection for aright-in/right-out only driveway. District policy 72-F4 (1) requires driveways located on arterial roadways near a signalized intersection to be located a minimum of 440-feet feet from the signalized intersection for afull-access driveway and a minimum of 220-feet from the signalized intersection for aright-in/right-out only driveway. District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of 50 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 255-feet from any existing or proposed driveway/street. The intersection of Linder Road/McMillan Road is currently stop-controlled but probably will be signalized in the future. 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 commercial driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways. Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. !n accordance with District policy 7207.9.1, the applicant should be required to pave all of the driveways to their 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. The applicant is showing access points to the office and commercial lots, located at the southwest and southeast corners of the preliminary plat, with this application. Commercial Driveway on Linder Road: The applicant is proposing a commercial driveway on Linder Road located approximately 130-feet south of Apgar Creek Street. Due to the proposed location of Apgar Creek Street, the proposed commercial driveway on Linder Road does not meet Policy. In accordance with District policy, the applicant should be required to locate the commercial driveway on Linder Road a minimum of 255-feet south of Apgar Creek Street and no closer than 150-feet from McMillan Road (for right-in/right-out only). In accordance with current District policy, if the driveway is located 220-feet north of McMillan Road it maybe full access until the McMillan Road2inder Road intersection is signalized. This driveway may be restricted to right-in/right-out in the future. The applicant has agreed to locate the proposed commercial driveway on Linder Road in conformance with District policy (see Applicant's Letter). Commercial Driveways on McMillan Road: The first commercial driveway on McMillan Road is Idcated approximately 250-feet west of Linder Road and would meet District policy for location if if were restricted to right-in/right-out movements when a signal is constructed at the McMillan Road/Cinder Road intersection. The second commercial driveway on McMillan Road is located approximately 235-feet from the first driveway and approximately 530-feet from Linder Road. The proposed driveway locations on McMillan Road for the two driveways serving the C-6 zoned lots meet District policy for location from a signalized (and non-signalized) intersection and should be approved with this application. Office Driveways on McMillan Road: The first office driveway on McMillan Road is located approximately 170-feet west of the existing driveway to the single-family house on Lot 26, Block 12 (see Residential Driveways below), approximately 180-feet from Palatine Way and does not meet current District policy for location. The second office driveway on McMillan Road is located approximately 350-feet west of the other proposed office driveway, approximately 130-feet from Palatine Way and does not meet current District policy for location. Palatine Way, located approximately 2,300-feet west of Linder Road on the south side of McMillan Road, was approved with Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision. !n accordance with District policy, the applicant should either align (centerline fo centerline) with and/or offset from Palatine Way on the south side of the road a minimum of 255-feet (measured near edge of roadway to near edge of driveway(s)). The applicant has agreed to only one access point for the office portion of the development on McMillan Road, located in alignment with Palatine Way on the south side of the roadway (see Applicant's Letter). The applicant should provide the District with copies of the recorded cross-access agreements for the proposed office and commercial lots to use the driveways on McMillan Road and Linder Road for access to the public street system. Residential Driveways District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of 50 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 255-feet from any existing or proposed driveway/street. District Policy 7207.9.3 restricts residential driveways to a maximum width of 20-feet. Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. There is an existing home, and driveway on McMillan Road, located on the proposed Lot 26, Block 12, that the applicant is proposing to utilize. The location of the existing driveway does not meet District policy for location if the proposed office driveway (as originally shown on the preliminary plat) to the west is located closer than 255-feet. Staff Analysis and Recommendation for Modification of Policy.• Staff recommends that the existing access to the proposed Lot 26, Block 12, to be utilized in the existing location until the existing home located on the lot is tom down or converted to another use. At the time of re-development, access to Lot 26, Block 12, from McMillan Road maybe prohibited by ACHD. !n order to preserve the option of limiting access points to McMillan Road in the future, the applicant should provide an access easement/frontage to Lot 26, Block 12, from Summit Way or the offrce area. The applicant has agreed to provide an ingress/egress easement to Lot 26, Block 12, from the L-O zoned property for a future access point (see Applicant's Letter). In accordance with District policy 7207.9.1, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway on McMillan Road 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. 3. Internal Streets Location District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline). The locations of the proposed internal roadways meet District policy for location and should be approved with this application. 10 Right-of-Way/Street Section District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-F1A require 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. Aright-of-way width less than 40-feet will not be permitted (District policy 7204.4.1). Any request to the District to approve a street with aright-of-way width of less than 50-feet must prove by Gear and convincing evidence that the facts and circumstances of the development warrant a finding of an exceptional case as outlined in policy 7204.4. District policy 7204.4.2 states that developments with buildable lots that are less than 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. The applicant is proposing to construct all of the intemal roadways: Ballinger Avenue, Chimney Peak. Avenue, Cody Creek Way, Summit Way, Wild Flower Drive, Green Mountain Drive, Bird Wing Court, Dove Ridge Drive, Apgar Creek Street, Stone Pond Drive, Sage Springs Drive, Deer Crest Way, Kelly Creek Avenue and Wapoot Avenue as 36-foot street sections with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks, all within 50-feet of right-of-way. Unless otherwise approved by District staff, the applicant should construct al! of the intemal roadways as 36-foot street sections with curb, gutter, 5- foot wide concrete sidewalks, within 5Q-feet of right-of-way as proposed. Turnarounds District policy 7205.2.1 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of 45-feet. The applicant should also be required to provide a minimum of a 29-foot street section on either side of a center island within a turnaround. All medians should be constructed a minimum of 4- feetwide to total a minimum of a 100-square foot area. District policy 7205.2.1 states that the maximum number of expected trips per day generated by those properties taking access from an individual cul-de-sac shall not exceed 400. The design and construction requirements far cul-de-sac streets shall apply to temporary dead end streets. The developer shall grant a roadway easement to the District for those portions of the cul-de-sac that extend beyond the dedicated street right-of-way (District policy 7205.2.1). The applicant is proposing to construct cul-de-sac turnarounds for Bird Wing Court, on the north and south side of Deer Crest Way, that have 45-foot radii. The applicant is proposing to construct a sub- standard, T-type turnaround for Summit Way and no turnaround at all for Dove Ridge Drive. The District will consider alternatives to the standard turnaround on a case-by-case basis. The determination to allow anon-standard turnaround will be based on turning area, drainage, maintenance considerations and the written approval of the emergency fire service for the area where the development is located. Minimum design standards shall be met for all non-standard turnarounds. The applicant should submit a design of the turnaround for review and approval by District Development Division staff. NOTE: Approval of the staff report does not indicate approval of the non- standard turnaround design. The applicant should construct District approved tumarounds for Bird Wing Court, Summit Way and Dove Ridge Drive (~f constructed as a public roadway). Private Streets/Driveways District policy 7205.6 requires otherjurisdictions in Ada County to establish the requirements for private streets. The District retains authority and will review the proposed intersection of a private and public street for compliance with District intersection policies and standards. District policy F2-F4 (1) 11 and 72-F4 (2) require driveways located on local residential roadways to offset a controlled andlor uncontrolled intersection a minimum of 50-feet (measured near edge to near edge). The applicant is proposing a private drive/street off of Chimney Peak Avenue and in alignment with Stone Pond Drive. Street name and stop signs are required for the private road. The signs may be ordered through the District at the cost of $240. Verification of the correct approved name of the road is reouired. ACRD does not make any assurances that the private road that is a part of this application will be accepted as a public road if such a request is made in the future. Substantial redesign and reconstruction costs may be necessary in order to qualify this road for public ownership and maintenance. The following requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the roadway to ACHD: • Dedicate a minimum of 50-feet of right-of-way for the road. • Construct the roadway to the minimum ACHD requirements. The location of the private drive/street meets District policy and should be approved with this application. Graveled driveways/private streets abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. !n accordance with District policy, if the City of Meridian approves the private sfreetldrivewayche applicant should be required to pave the private streefldrivewayics full width (minimum 24-feet wide) and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the abutting roadway. The applicant should provide a plan showing how the private street grade meets the public road. District Policy requires a design approach speed of 20 MPH and a maximum intersection approach grade of 2% for at least 40-feet. The applicant should provide the Disfrict with a copy of a recorded access easement among the parcels for use of the private road for access to the public street prior to final plat approval. 4. Stub Streets District policy 7203.5.1 and 7205.5 require stub streets to provide intra-neighborhood circulation and to provide access to adjoining parcels. District policy also requires temporary turnarounds with a temporary easement provided to the District at the end of stub streets that are greater than 150-feet in length with a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". 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. An existing street, or a street in an approved preliminary plat, which ends at a boundary of a proposed development shall be extended in that development. The extension shall include provisions for continuation of storm drainage facilities (District policy 7203.5.2). The applicant is proposing to extend Wapoot Avenue from the west property line located approximately 125-feet south of the north property line. This stub street location was originally approved with the Lochsa Falls Subdivision. Staff is supportive of the extension of this roadway. The applicant is proposing to extend Apgar Creek Street from the west property line located approximately 690-feet south of Wapoot Avenue (measured centerline to centerline). This stub street location was originally approved with the Lochsa Falls Subdivision. Staff is supportive of the extension of this roadway. NOTE: The location of this stub street may have been slightly changed since ACRD approved the preliminary plat for Lochsa Falls Subdivision. The subject applicant should 12 coordinate the extension of the stub street with the City of Meridian and the abutting property owner to the west. The applicant is proposing to extend Ballinger Avenue from the north property line located approximately 625-feet east of the west property line. This stub street location was originally approved with the Lochsa Falls Subdivision. Staff is supportive of the extension of this roadway. The applicant is proposing to extend Chimney Peak Avenue from the north property line located approximately 1,090-feet east of Ballinger Avenue (measured centerline to centerline). This stub street location was originally approved with the Lochsa Falls Subdivision. Staff is supportive of the extension of this roadway. 5. Knuckles District policy District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 and the local Fire District standards require an island within a knuckle to be constructed with the island being a minimum of 4-feet wide with a minimum area of 100-square feet and designed to safely channel traffic. The roadway around the traffic island should maintain a minimum of a 29-foot street section. The applicant is proposing to construct four knuckles within the subdivision. Staff is supportive of the location of the proposed knuckles. The final design of any knuckles with islands should be reviewed and approved by ACND's Planning and Development staff. 6. Islands District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 requires any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way dedicated by this plat to be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of this should be required on the final plat. The applicant is not proposing to construct islands within the right-of-way of the internal streets. In accordance with District policy, if islands are constructed, the applicant should provide a minimum clear distance of 21-feet (measured back-of--curb fo back-of-curb) on both sides of the istand. Intersections District policy 7204.1.7 states that intersections located on horizontal curves should be avoided. A permanent sight distance easement based on the sight distance of the design speed shall be provided where one street must intersect with another on a curve. The minimum centerline tangent length approaching an intersection shall be 40-feet for local streets. !n accordance with District policy, the applicant should coordinate, with District staff, the designs of the intersections of Wild Flower Drive/Apgar Creek Street and Wild Flower Drive and Kelly Creek Avenue, to ensure the above policy is met. C. Special Recommendation to the Applicant In order to reduce trips to and from the residential portion of this development, it is recommended that upon occupancy, the Home Owners Association provide new residents with information on alternative transportation and the commute options available. Commuteride staff will coordinate this effort with the applicant. For more information contact Ms. Catherine Sanchez at 367-6162.

This 23 foot strip is intended to be made available to ACHD when it comes time to widen Linder road to five lanes. Dedicated right of way may be necessary now for any required center turn lanes and/or right tum lanes at Apgar Creek Street and Deer Crest Way. These rights of way will be shown on the final plat to match up with the approved street design for that phase of the development. The 5' sidewalk along Linder Road will likely be placed within the 25 foot street landscape buffer in an easement. The face of the sidewalk will be no closer than 41 feet to the centerline of Linder Road. The existing 50 feet of prescriptive right of way along McMillan Road should be adequate for a planned 37' B-B street section (3 lanes) centered on the section line. I measured the location of the existing Lerwp Canal this morning and found that there will be about 6 foot of clearance from the future back of curb (18.5' measured south of centerline) and the current north bank of the canal. However, there may be need for additional right of way along the north side of McMillan at for the center turn lanes and deceleration lanes at W ild Flower Drive. Therefore, in most areas, the detached sidewalk along the north side should be 18.5 + 5' planter + 5' SW = 28.5' from centerline. We plan to place the sidewalk within the 25' landscape buffer within an easement. Site Specific Condition No. 9 - We will modify the CG site plan to show one entrance onto Linder Road located 255 feet south of Apgar Creek Street. APPLICANT'S LETTER Crai Hood -Kell Creek Staff Re ort Pa e 2 Site Specific Condition No. 10 & 11 -The two commercial approaches off of McMillan Road in the CG area appear to meet district policy as you have defined them. Site Specific Condition No. 13 - We plan to revise the LO area site plan to show only one access point located in alignment with the future Palatine Way as shown on the Bridge Tower Preliminary Plat. This will give ample clearance to the other driveways and street entrances in the vicinity. Site Specific Condition No. 14 - We will show an ingress/egress easement from Lot 26, Block 12 into the LO lots for a future access pointrf and when the existing home is tom down or the use changes. However, with the approach revision to the LO area, it appears that the existing driveway in this lot will meet district policy anyway. Please call if you have any questions. Thanks for your help.
