B. Findings for Consideration
Stoddard Road
Right-of-Way/Street Section Policy: District policy 72-F1 B requires collector roadways to be
constructed as 46-foot street sections with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot detached (or 7-foot
2 DRAFT Five Twelve Subdivision/CUP09-013
attached) concrete sidewalks within 70-feet of right-of-way. This street section allows for the
construction of a 3-lane roadway with bike lanes.
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct Stoddard Road as one-half of
a 46-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter, 8-foot wide planter strip, and 5-foot wide
detached concrete sidewalk within 25-feet of right-of-way and a 10-foot sidewalk easement.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District policy, and should
be approved, as proposed.
2. Kodiak Drive (New Roadway)
Residential Collector Policy: District policy 72-F1A, 7202.3.2 and 7202.3.5, requires that
residential collectors be constructed as 36-foot street sections with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide
concrete sidewalks with no front-on housing. The access restrictions for these street segments
should be stated on the final plat. Unless otherwise noted, parking should be prohibited on
these street segments. Coordinate the signage Program with District staff.
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.
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct the first 150-feet of Kodiak
Drive west of Stoddard with 36-feet of pavement separated (24-feet and 12-feet) by an 11.6-foot
wide center landscape island, vertical curb, gutter, 8-foot wide planter strip, and 5-foot wide
detached concrete sidewalk on the south side of Kodiak and with a 3-foot gravel shoulder and
barrow ditch on the north. These improvements would be constructed within 64-feet of right-of-
way and a 10-foot wide sidewalk easement.
The roadway is proposed to taper to one half of a 36-foot street section with 24-feet of
pavement, vertical curb, gutter, 8-foot wide planter strip, and 5-foot wide detached sidewalk on
the south side of Kodiak with a 3-foot wide gravel shoulder and barrow ditch on the north.
These improvements would be constructed within 50-feet of right-of-way and a 10-foot wide
sidewalk easement.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal for the first 150-feet of Kodiak
Drive meets District policy, with the exception of the 12-foot wide street section on the north
side of the proposed center landscape island. District policy requires a minimum 21-foot street
section on either side of a center landscape island. Because of this the applicant should be
required to construct the north side of Kodiak Drive with a minimum of 21-feet of pavement.
The applicant's proposal for the remaining segment of Kodiak Drive meet's District Residential
Collector roadway policy, and should be approved as proposed. With ACHD's prior action on
this site it was determined that Kodiak Drive would be constructed as a residential collector
roadway from Stoddard Road through this site extending west out to Linder Road. Front-on
housing and on-street parking are prohibited on residential collector roadways. The applicant
will be required to coordinate a signage program to restrict parking on Kodiak Drive with District
Development Review and Traffic Services staff.
3 DRAFT Five Twelve Subdivision/CUP09-013
3. Roadway Offsets
Roadway Offset Policy: District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a
minimum of 150-feet from a collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
District policy 7204.11.6, requires residential collector roadway to align or offset a minimum of
200-feet from a collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct one roadway to intersect
Stoddard Road, Kodiak Drive, located at the north property line, aligned centerline to centerline
with Kodiak Drive on the east side of Stoddard.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should
be approved, as proposed.
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 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."
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 one stub street to the west,
Kodiak Drive, located at the north property line.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal meets District Policy, and should
be approved, as proposed. Because the stub street is longer than 150-feet in length the
applicant will be required to construct a temporary cul-de-sac turnaround at the terminus of the
roadway and install a sign at the terminus of the stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE
EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."
The turnaround should be designed to provide an outside radius of 45-feet.
5. Driveways
Access Management 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.
4 DRAFT Five Twelve Subdivision/CUP09-013
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 72-F4 (2) requires driveways located on collector
roadways near a stop controlled intersection to be located a minimum of 150-feet from the
intersection for afull-access driveway and a minimum of 110-feet from the intersection for a
right-in/right-out only driveway.
Successive Driveway 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.
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
constructed 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 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's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct two driveways, one 30-foot
wide driveway to intersect Stoddard Road, located approximately 370-feet (measured near edge
to near edge) south of the proposed Kodiak Drive, and one 30-foot wide driveway to intersect
the proposed Kodiak Drive located approximately 365-feet (measured near edge to near edge)
west of Stoddard Road. Both driveways are to provide access to the proposed LDS Church.
Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct one driveway to
intersect Stoddard Road does not meet District Access Management Policy Section 7207.8 and
typically would not be approved as proposed. However, staff could support a driveway onto
Stoddard Road if the driveway was shifted 40-feet south to the property line and a cross access
agreement was in place between the two lots within this proposed subdivision to ensure that
access through the driveways to the adjacent lot could occur.
Staff recognizes that the lot adjacent to the proposed church is zoned for residential use and the
City of Meridian's Comprehensive plan also identifies this area as residential land uses. ACHD
does not anticipate residential homes to be accessed via the driveway, but in the event that the
adjacent lot goes through a comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning process in the future
the driveway could be shared between the church and office or neighborhood commercial uses.
The shared driveway would reduce the number of access points on to Stoddard Road.
If the driveway is not relocated to the south property line and a cross access agreement is not in
place, then the driveway onto Stoddard Road will not be allowed as proposed since it does not
meet District Access Management policy. Staff recommends that if two access points are
necessary to service the church site than an additional driveway be constructed on Kodiak Drive
west of the proposed center landscape island.
The applicant's proposal for the driveway on Kodiak Drive meet's District policy and should be
approved as proposed.
6. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter 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
5 DRAFT Five Twelve Subdivision/CUP09-013
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.
7. Landscaping
A license agreement is required for all landscaping proposed within ACHD right-of-way or
easement areas. Trees shall be located no closer than 10-feet from all public storm drain
facilities. Landscaping should be designed to eliminate site obstructions in the vision triangle at
intersections. District Policy 5104.3.1 requires a 40-foot vision triangle and a 3-foot height
restriction on all landscaping located at an uncontrolled intersection and a 50-foot offset from
stop signs. Landscape plans are required with the submittal of civil plans and must meet all
District requirements prior to signature of the final plat and/or approval of the civil plans.
8. Other Access
Stoddard Road is classified as a collector 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.
Kodiak Drive is classified as a residential collector roadway. Access to Kodiak Drive will be
necessary to provide access to Lot 2 of the subdivision. Staff will review access to Kodiak Drive
with a future development application.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
Construct Stoddard Road as one-half of a 46-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter, 8-foot
wide planter strip, and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk, as proposed. Provide ACHD
with a sidewalk easement for any segment of the sidewalk located outside of the right-of-way.
2. Construct Kodiak Drive to intersect Stoddard Road, located at the north property line, align the

3. Construct the first 150-feet of Kodiak Drive west of Stoddard Road with a minimum 21-feet of
pavement on both the north and south street sections, an 11.6-foot wide center landscape
island, vertical curb, gutter, 8-foot wide planter strip, and 5-foot wide detached concrete
sidewalk on the south side of Kodiak and with a 3-foot gravel shoulder and barrow ditch on the
north. Provide a sidewalk easement for any segment of the sidewalk located outside of the
right-of-way.
4. Construct the remaining segment of Kodiak drive as one-half of a residential collector street
section with a minimum 24-feet of pavement, vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide concrete
sidewalks on the south side of the roadway with a 3-foot wide gravel shoulder and barrow ditch
on the north side of the roadway. Front-on housing and on-street parking are prohibited on
residential collector roadways. Provide a sidewalk easement for any segment of the sidewalk
located outside of the right-of-way. Coordinate a signage program to restrict parking on Kodiak
Drive with District Development Review and Traffic Services staff.
5. Construct Kodiak Drive as a stub street to the west located at the north property line. Construct
a temporary cul-de-sac turnaround at the terminus of the roadway. The turnaround should be
designed to provide a minimum outside turning radius of 45-feet. Install a sign at the terminus
of the stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."

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.
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
ACHD 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.
