McMillan Road abutting the site.
• Coppercloud Way is improved with 2 travel lanes, center landscape islands, curb, gutter, and 5-
foot attached concrete sidewalks on both sides. There is 30 to 60-feet of right-of-way for
Coppercloud Way abutting the site (30-feet from centerline).
• A private drive aisle extends into the site along its west property line for approximately 500-feet
both north and south of Coppercloud Way. It is currently improved with 23-feet of pavement and
vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached sidewalk along its west side.
• The intersection of Linder and McMillan Roads has been widened to 4 lanes on the east/west
approaches and to 5 lanes on the north/south approaches and signalized.
4. Existing Access: The site has one defined access point onto Linder Road located 160-feet north of
the south property line and one defined access point onto McMillan Road located 220-feet west of
the east property line (measured property line to near edge). The both access points were
constructed with the intersection widening at the Linder/McMillan intersection in 2008. The access
point onto McMillan Road is restricted to right-in/right-out only with a center median.
5. Site History: ACRD previously reviewed this site as Bridgetower Subdivisions No. 11 & 12 in 2006
and as Bridgetower Crossing No. 15 in November 2007.

B. Findings for Consideration
1. Linder Road
Right-of-Way and Street Section 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.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has not proposed any improvements to Linder Road.
Staff Recommendation: Linder Road is already improved with 4/5 travel lanes, vertical curb,
gutter, and sidewalk abutting the site. Therefore, no additional street improvements or right-of-
way dedication will be required with this application.
2. McMillan Road
Right-of-Way and Street Section 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.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has not proposed any improvements to McMillan Road.
Staff Recommendation: McMillan Road is already improved with 3/4 travel lanes, vertical curb,
gutter, and 5-foot detached sidewalks abutting the site. As identified in the ACHD CIP and the
3 Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision No. 15
North Meridian Transportation Plan, this segment of McMillan Road is planned to be built-out as
a 3-lane minor arterial roadway. Therefore, no additional street improvements or right-of-way
dedication will be required with this application.
3. Coppercloud Way
Right-of-Way: District policy requires 70-feet of right-of-way on collector roadways (Figure 72-
F1 B). This right-of-way width allows for the construction of a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter,
5-foot wide detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
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 Proposal: The applicant has not proposed any improvements to Coppercloud Way.
Staff Recommendations: Coppercloud Way is already full improved with 2 travel lanes, center
landscape islands, curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalks on both sides.
Therefore, no additional street improvements or right-of-way will be required with this
application.
4. Penngrove Way
Minor Local Street Policy: Interim District policy 7213.1 states that minor local streets may be
constructed with a reduced width of 24-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb with curb and
gutter. This street section may only be used if the following conditions are met:
• The maximum projected ADT is less than 400.
• The street connects to two other standard size streets.
• There is support from the lead land use agency (either from staff or
Commission/Council).
• Maximum block length of 600-feet.
• In commercial or mixed use areas where urban designs utilizing alleys are desirable,
but may be impractical due to access restrictions to classified roadways (arterials,
collectors, and residential collectors). In this example, the minor local street would
parallel the access-restricted roadway and would provide direct access to the
commercial or mixed-use lots.
• No portion of a building shall be over 30-feet in height. If any portion of a building is
over 30-feet in height, aerial fire apparatus is required and a 26-foot wide street is
required (International Fire Code Appendix D Section C105). However, a 26-foot wide
street, with a minimum right-of-way of 30-feet, is allowed if all other requirements for a
minor local street are met.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct Penngrove Way (an existing
private road) as a 25-foot minor local street section, with vertical curb and gutter within 27-feet
of right-of-way. The applicant has proposed to construct 5-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk
along the west side of Villagio Way within a 7-foot sidewalk easement.
Staff Recommendation: Penngrove Way (Villagoio Way) was originally approved as a private
road with Bridgetower Crossing 11 and 12. When ACRD reviewed this site as Bridgetower
Crossing No. 15 in November 2007 the applicant proposed to construct the roadway as a public
street. At that time the District's Minor Local Street Policy was in the process of being drafted
and had not been adopted by the ACHD Commission. Staff recommended a modification of
4 Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision No. 15
policy to allow Penngrove Way to be constructed as a 25-foot minor local street section, due to
the proposed minor local street policy.
Based on the adoption of the Minor Local Street policy by the ACRD Commission in May 2008
and the previous staff action approving the use of the minor local street, the applicant's proposal
should be approved as proposed. It should be noted that Penngrove Way is restricted to right-
in/right-out only where it intersects McMillan Road.
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.
Driveway Location 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 afull-access driveway and a minimum of 220-feet from the signalized
intersection for aright-in/right-out only driveway.
Driveway Widths: 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: 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 has proposed to utilize an existing 36-foot wide driveway
onto Linder Road located approximately 150-feet north of the south property line (measured
property line to near edge).
The applicant has proposed to construct one right-in/right-out only driveway onto Coppercloud
Way, located approximately 220-feet west of Linder Road (measured property line to near
edge).
Staff Comment: The location of the proposed driveway was originally approved as a public
street with ACHD's previous action on Bridgetower Crossing No. 15 in 2007. A driveway is now
being proposed instead of a public street due to the reconfiguration of the lots within the
development.
Staff recommends the driveway width and location be approved, as proposed due to the fact
that the location was previously approved as a public street, the proposed use of the lot is a low
traffic generator (church), and the driveway approach was constructed as part of the
Linder/McMillan intersection project in 2008.
5 Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision No. 15
The applicant's proposal to construct one right-in/right-out driveway onto Coppercloud Way
meet's District Driveway Location Policy, and should be approved as proposed. Pave the
driveway its full width at lease 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement.
6. Stub Street
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."
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct one stub street to the south,
Penngrove Way, located on the west property line. The applicant has proposed to provide a
turnaround easement located 80-feet north of the north of the south property line (measured
property line to near edge).
Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meet's District policy and should
be approved as proposed. The applicant will be required install a barricade stating "THIS ROAD
WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE" at the terminus of the stub street.
7. Other Access
Linder and McMillan Roads are classified as minor arterials and Coppercloud Way is classified
as a collector roadway. Other than access previously addressed, direct lot access to these
roads is prohibited and should be noted on the final plat.
8. 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
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.
6 Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision No. 15
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1. Utilize the existing 36-foot wide driveway onto Linder Road located approximately 150-feet north
of the south property line, as proposed.
2. Construct one right-in/right-out only driveway onto Coppercloud Way, located approximately
220-feet west of Linder Road, as proposed. Pave the driveway it's full with at least 30-feet into
the site beyond the edge of pavement.
3. Construct Penngrove Way located along the west property line, as a 25-foot minor local street,
with vertical curb and gutter within 27-feet of right-of-way. Construct 5-foot wide attached
concrete sidewalk along the west side of Penngrove Way within a 7-foot sidewalk easement, as
proposed.
4. Construct one stub street to the south, Penngrove Way, located on the west property line.
Install a barricade at the terminus of the stub street stating "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED
IN THE FUTURE". Provide a turnaround easement for the stub street located 80-feet north of
the north of the south property line, as proposed.
5. Other than access specifically approved with this application direct lot access to Linder Road,
McMillan Road, and Coppercloud Way is prohibited and should be noted on the final plat.
