Tech Review: January 11, 2011
A. Findings of Fact
1. Description of Application: The city of Meridian is planning on installing a new reuse water
main along the owner's property fronting Ten Mile Road. The presence of the owner's domestic
well is too close to the main to attain the necessary separation. This requires the abandonment
of the well thus necessitating city services to be extended to the site. The annexation and
rezone is required by the city of Meridian to allow for city services to be used on the property.
2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area:
Direction Land Use Zonin
North Medium Low-Densi Residential District R-4
South Medium Low-Densit Residential District R-4
East Medium Low-Densit Residential District R-4
West Medium Low-Density Residential District R-4
3. Site History: ACHD has not previously reviewed this site for a development application.
4. 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.
5. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/Five Year Work Plan (FYWP):
There are currently no roadways, bridges or intersections in the general vicinity of the project
that are currently in the District's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
MAZ-10-004
• Ten Mile Road is scheduled in the Five Year Work Plan to be widened to 5-lanes from Cherry
Lane to Ustick Road in 2015.
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate no additional vehicle trips per day
(10 existing); no additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour (one existing), based on
the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 8~' edition.
2. Condition of Area Roadways
Traffic Count is based on Vehicles Per Hour (VPH)
PM Peak PM Peak Existing
Roadway Frontage Functional Hour Hour Level Plus
Classification Traffic Count of Service Pro'ect
Ten Mile Better than Better
Road 230-feet Minor Arterial 311 "D" than "D"
Hatch Court 30-feet Local N/A N/A N/A
* Acceptable level of service for athree-lane minor arterial is "D" (720 VPH)
3. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT)
Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD's most current traffic counts.
The average daily traffic count for Ten Mile Road south of Ustick Road was 5,958 on
August 19, 2010.
C. Findings for Consideration
This application is for a rezone application only. Listed below are some of the hndings for consideration
that the District may identify when it reviews a future development application. The District may add
additional findings for consideration when it reviews a specific redevelopment application.
1. Ten Mile Road
a. Existing Conditions: Ten Mile Road is improved with 3-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter,
and 5-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is 80-feet of right-of--way for Ten Mile Road
(40-feet from centerline).
b. Policy
Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7203.4.3 states that if a proposed development
abuts an arterial street, the developer shall provide sidewalk along the paved frontage and
dedicate right-of-way required by the proposed land use and scale of the project.
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 wide concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot wide detached)
concrete sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
c. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, arterial street requirements, and specific roadway
features required through development. This segment of Ten Mile Road is designated in the
MSM as a Residential Mobility Arterial with 5-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 74-foot street
section within 100-feet of right-of--way.
2 MAZ-10-004
d. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has not proposed any improvements to Ten Mile Road.
e. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Consistent with the MSM, the applicant should be
required to dedicate an additional 10-foot of right-of-way to total 50-feet from centerline or
provide the District with a 10-foot wide sidewalk easement.
2. Hatch Court
a. Existing Conditions: Hatch Court is improved with 2-travel lanes, rolled curb, gutter, and 4-
foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is 50-feet of right-of-way for Hatch Court (25-feet
from centerline).
b. Policy
36-Foot Street Section Policy: District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any
buildable lot that is 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.
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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has not proposed any improvements to Hatch Court
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Hatch Court is already improved with 2-travel lanes,
rolled curb, gutter and sidewalk. Therefore no additional right-of-way or street improvements
are required as part of this application.
3. Driveways
3.1 Ten Mile Road
a. Existing Conditions: There is a paved circular driveway on Ten Mile Road. The driveways
are approximately 12-feet wide and approximately 35-feet apart.
b. Policy
Access 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.
Section Line Road Policy: District policy 7201.1 states that section line roads are future
transportation corridors. They will ultimately function as a collector or arterial streets. Direct lot
access to these roads will be restricted.
Successive Driveways: District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or
arterial roadways with a speed limit of 35 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from
any existing or proposed driveway.
Residential Driveway Width Policy: District Policy 7207.9.3 restricts residential driveways
to a maximum width of 20-feet.
3 MAZ-10-004
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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has not proposed any changes to the existing
driveways on Ten Mile Road.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District
Access Management and Successive Driveway Policy, however, staff recommends a
modification of policy to allow the driveways to remain at this time due to the fact that allowing
the circular driveway will reduce traffic conflicts that would occur if the vehicles were required
to back out onto Ten Mile Road when exiting the site.
It should be noted that in the future when this site re-develops access onto Ten Mile Road
should be restricted or eliminated, and should be taken from Hatch Court.
3.2 Hatch Court
a. Existing Conditions: There are no driveways on Hatch Court; however there are trackings
and other evidence that the residents are utilizing Hatch Court to access the back portion of
their property.
b. Policy
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 72-F4 (1) and 72-F4 (2), requires driveways
located on local residential roadways to offset a controlled and/or uncontrolled intersection a
minimum of 50-feet (measured near edge to near edge).
District policy 72-F4 (1) and 72-F4 (2), requires driveways located on commercial/industrial
roadways to offset a controlled and/or uncontrolled intersection a minimum of 50-feet
(measured near edge to near edge).
Residential Driveway Policy: District Policy 7207.9.3 restricts residential driveways to a
maximum width of 20-feet.
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.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has not proposed any driveways on Hatch Court.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: It is recommended that if Hatch Court is in fact being
used as an access, that the owner applies for a driveway permit onto Hatch Court. Hatch
Court is currently improved with rolled curb, gutter and sidewalk. The proper improvements
should be made in order for the site to utilize that portion as a driveway, thus maintaining the
integrity of the existing curb, gutter and sidewalk.
4. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: 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.
5. Landscaping
Landscaping Policy: 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
4 MAZ-10-004
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.
6. Other Access
Ten Mile 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.
D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
This application is for a rezone only. Listed below are site-specific conditions of approval thaf the
District may require when it reviews a future development application for this site. The District may add
