Findings of Fact '3
i,
y
Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 3,078 additional vehicle trips per day (0
existing) based on the submitted traffic impact study.
Impact Fees: There will be impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of a building
permit. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that
time.
Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was required with this application.
The proposed Paramount High School is a school development located on the north side of McMillan
Road east of Linder Road in Meridian, Idaho. The project is expected to serve` 1,800 students and
has numerous recreational areas.
The following are the principle conclusions of the traffic analysis for the Paramount High School:
1) The proposed school development is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of 3,078
vehicles of which the a.m. peak hour school traffic is 738 vehicles per hour. The pm peak hour
school traffic is 504 vehicles per hour. For purposes of this analysis, all trip calculations for this
study were based on the peak hour of the generator (Paramount High School), not the adjacent
street traffic.
2) As a result of the site build -out, traffic on the vicinity roadways is expected to increase. Traffic on
Linder Road may increase by 3,078 trips north of McMillan Road, 923 trips per day south of
McMillan Road. and 154 trips per day north of Chinden Boulevard. Traffic on McMillan Road
may increase by 462 trips per day east of Linder Road and 770 trips per day west of Linder Road.
Traffic on Chinden Boulevard (US 20/26) may increase by 246 trips per day east of Linder Road
and 462 trips per day west of Linder Road.
3) The intersection of McMillan Road and Linder Road is currently all -way STOP. For both the
existing and 2007 Background conditions, the intersection of Linder Road and McMillan Road was
forecast to operate to LOS B in the a.m. peak hour and LOS C in the p.m. peak hour. For the 2007
Build Out condition; the intersection is forecast to operate at LOS D in the a.m. peak hour and' LOS
E in the p.m. peak hour. Intersection improvements are warranted for the 2007 Build Out
condition. With improvements and for the 2007 Build Out condition, the intersection is forecast to
operate at LOS C for both the a.m. and p.m. peak hour.
4) The intersection of Chinden Boulevard and Linder Road is currently signalized. For both the
existing and 2007 Background conditions, the intersection is forecast.to operate at LOS B for both
the a.m. and p.m. peak hour for the 2007 Build Out condition, the intersection is forecast to
operate at LOS B for both the a.m. and p.m. peak hour. No improvements to the intersection are
warranted to accommodate the'site traffic.
5) The intersection of West Cayuse Drive and Linder Road is currently two-way STOP controlled.
For the existing conditions, the intersection of West Cayuse Drive and Linder Road operates at a
Level of Service (LOS) B in both the a.m. and p.m. peak hour. For the 2007 Background condition,
the intersection is predicted to operate at LOS C for the a.m. peak hour and LOS B for the p.m.
peak hour. For the build out condition, the intersection is forecast to operate at LOS F in the a.m.
peak hour and LOS C in the p.m. peak hour. Intersection improvements are warranted for the
2007 Build Out condition. For the 2007 Build Out condition with signalization. the intersection
was forecast to operate at LOS B for both the a.m. and p.m. peak hour.
t8
6) The mid-block0e approach with Linder Road is forecas'f'to operate "near capacity" at LOS C for 4
both peak hours in the 2007 Build Out condition. Turn bays are warranted at the approach.
7) The south site approach with Linder Road is forecast to operate "near capacity" at LOS C for both 1*°#,
peak hours in the 2007 Build Out condition. Turn bays are warranted at the approach. �
a
8) The parking lot approach with West Cayuse Drive is forecast to operate "under capacity" at LOS B
for both peak hours in the 2007 Build Out condition. A left turn bay is warranted at the approach.
9) The forecast dally build out volumes for all of the roadways in the vicinity of the project are lower
than COMPASS' development thresholds. The vicinity roadways do not require any capacity
-improvements to accommodate the 2007 Build Out conditions.
The following are transportation -related improvements needed to accommodate the traffic volumes
generated by the Paramount High School development:
1. Improvements to the McMillan Road I Linder Road -intersection are warranted. Adding
separate north and southbound left turn bays at the intersection will result in acceptable
operation. It is anticipated a private group may signalize and widen the intersection. The percentage
of site traffic to the 2007 Build Out traffic is approximately 31 % and 17% for the a.m. and p.m. peak
hour, respectively.
2. Improvements to the West'Cayuse Drive I Linder Road intersection are warranted.
Intersection signalization with no additional lanes will result in acceptable operation however.
The site traffic is approximately 35% of the 2007 Build Out traffic volumes.
3. The mid -block and south site approaches with Linder Road warrant both a left turn and a
right turn bay on Linder Road for vehicles entering the site.
4. The north site approach with West Cayuse Drive warrants a left turn bay on West Cayuse
Drive for vehicles entering the site.
STAFF COMMENTS TO THE SUBMITTED TRAFFIC IMPACT -STUDY
1. A traffic signal may be required at the West Cayuse Drive and Linder Road Intersection. However,
an analysis should be done according to the peak hour warrant of the MUTCD as well to help verify
the HCM analysis. Also, significant modification to the large islands and entrance features at the
entrances to the Paramount and Lochsa Falls Subdivisions may be required before a signal can be
installed at this location. Turn lanes, crosswalks and pedestrian signals should also be included in
any signal design. The District has not identified the West Cayuse Creek Drive and Linder Road
intersection to be signalized in the future. This intersection is not included in the District's Five Year
Work Program or Capital Improvements Plan to be signalized, therefore the applicant can not assume
that the traffic signal will be installed.
2. This development may also require the installation of a traffic signal at the Linder Road and
McMillan Road Intersection. However, an analysis should be done according to the warrants of the
MUTCD as well to help verify the HCM analysis. Turn lanes, crosswalks and pedestrian signals
should also be included in any signal design. The applicant can not assume that the traffic signal at
Linder Road and McMillan Road will be installed due to the fact that it is not in the District's Five Year
Work Program or Capital Improvements Plan to be installed by 2007. The Capital Improvements
Plan has the signal being installed in the year 2014 to 2018
S. The traffic study assumes that there will be a reduction in the speed limit on Ten Mile Road. The
District does not anticipate a reduction in the speed limit, therefore the applicant can not assume this.
4. The traffic impact study does not mention the lack of sidewalks surrounding the site. Some of the
area surrounding the school site is stili undeveloped and does not have adequate pedestrian
3
-,r a
Alk
facilities. Based on State Code 67-6519(3), the applicant inust submit a pedestrian plan that
addresses the region and how the applicant will mitigate the lack of pedestrian facilities in the area.
5. According to the submitted traffic impact study, a crosswalk plan should be implemented at the
Chinden Boulevard/Linder Road intersection before the school is developed. The applicant will be
required to submit a crosswalk. plan regarding this intersection before staff can comfortably review or
approve the application.
6. The traffic study assumes that a traffic signal will be installed by ACHD in 2007 which will eliminate
,the need forra.flashing beacon -at this intersection. Although school speed zone flashers are not
normally installed.for high school and:will not be;required with this application, the applicant can note
assume that the traffic 'signal ,at Linder Road and McMillan Road,will be installed due to the fact that it
is notin l=ive Year,Work Program or Capital Improvements Plan to be installed byr2007.
The Capital Improvements Plan has the signal being installed in the year 2014 to 2018

B. Analysis and Review for Future School Site [Per Idaho Code 67-6519(3)]
Land Use Master Plan
The site plan submitted by Lombard -Conrad Architects provides a layout of the land use master plan.
The school buildings total approximately 260,000 square feet and are located in the south central
region of the proposed development. To the north of the structures, two parking lots will
accommodate 685 vehicles. To the`south of the structures, one parking lot will accommodate 24
vehicles. Another parking lot to the south will accommodate 20 busses. To the west of the structures,
three parking lots will accommodate 214 parking spaces. A parking lot between the structures and
west parking lot will accommodate 38 parent vehicles.
As indicated in, the site plan, a roadway will bisect the two major parking lots to the north, extend to
the east of the north parking lot, turn south around the main football field. The road will shift to the
west and terminate on Linder Road as the south access. To the north, east, and south of this
roadway there are multiple proposed sporting fields for development.
Location of School Zone
According to the Meridian School District, the service area will likely change as the North Meridian
area develops. Initially, the new school's service area will cover the North Meridian area. The
boundary on opening day (2007) is currently planned to be Ustick to the south, the Boise River to the
north, Black Cat to the west and Eagle Road to the east.
Anticipated Development on Surrounding Undeveloped Parcels and Zoning in the Vicinity
Information pertaining to the anticipated development on surrounding undeveloped parcels and
zoning in the vicinity is included in the appendix.
Anticipated Future Improvements
Linder Road will not have adequate capacity to handle the Build -Out of the 12 -square mile North
Meridian Planning Area at 2020. ACHD should make future improvements on this roadway based on
the recommendations of the North Meridian Area Traffic Study.
According to the North Meridian Area Traffic Study, Linder Road requires a 5 -lane section for the
study area by the Build -Out year 2020.
Chinden Boulevard will not have adequate capacity to handle the Build -Out of the 12 -square mile
North MeridianPlanningArea at 2020. ACHD should make future improvements on this roadway
based on the recommendations of the North Meridian Area Traffic Study.
According to the North Meridian Area Traffic Study Chinden Boulevard requires a 5 -lane section for
the study area by the build out year 2020. McMillan Road is forecasted with a 5 -lane section for the
study area by the build out year 2020.
4
5
School Bus Plan
The site plan allows busses to enter the school site at the mid -block approach. From the mid -block
site access approach the bus is directed around the back of the school and will be allowed to exit at
the southern approach. The roadway to the north, east, and south of the structures will alleviate
congestion at the, northern approach. Busses are the only vehicles allowed to access the roadway,
east of,the north parking lots and this roadway must be signed accordingly.
Need for Flashing Beacon
Based on ACHD Procedure for School Crossing Improvements the determination for a pedestrian
stop control signal, school zone flashers and in -pavement flashers were analyzed. Under the 2007
build out conditions, it was determined that there is NO need to place a school zone flasher. For the
2007 build out condition in -pavement flashers and a pedestrian stop control signal are NOT
warranted.
Required Striping and Signing Modifications
Signing to clarify that only busses are permitted along the roadway east of the parking lot must be
placed to ensure that all other vehicles do not utilize the roadway. Typical signage should be 30" X
30" (R5-1).
The north, mid -block, and south site access approaches warrant left turn bays and right turn bays. A
striping plan for. left turn bays and right turn bays at both approaches should comply with the ACHD
Development Policy Manual.
Barriers Between Highways and School a
The proposed school has three full access points. According to the site plan submitted by the £a
developer a raised concrete sidewalk will be installed along Linder Road.
Highway 20/26 is approximately 1/2 mile north of the northern site access. Due to the large distance
of separation between the northern approach school site access and the highway there is no need to
add any type of barrier system between Highway 20/26 and Paramount High School..
Speed on Adjacent Highway
The current speed limit on McMillan Road is 50 mph east and west of Linder Road.
The current spded limit on Linder Road is 50 mph north of McMillan Road and 35 mph south of
McMillan Road.
The current speed limit on Highway 20/26 is 55 mph. Highway 20/26 is approximately %2 of a mile
north of the northern approach access.
Access Safety
The following is a summarized list that clarifies the implementation the developer will use to maintain
safe access to the development:
• Limited access points to Linder Road;
• Anticipated signal installation at Linder/McMillan Road (rural & urban application);..
• Anticipated signal installation at the Linder/Paramount Drive intersection (rural application);
• No thru traffic at site;
• One street connection to the existing Paramount Drive stub street;
• Adequate capacity at access points and adjacent streets;
• Bus access lane on property;
• Concrete sidewalks abut project site;
• Off-street parking;
D
• Off -street loading and drop-off zone. 0
Pedestrian Plan
Currently Highway 20/26, 112 a mile north of the northern approach access, has no crosswalks. The
intersection of Linder Road and McMillan Road currently has no sidewalks. However, it is anticipated
in the near future the Linder/McMillan intersection will be widened and signalized by a private party.
These improvements will include sidewalks on all legs of the intersection. The extension of sidewalk
to the Linder Road 1 McMillan Road intersection will provide for pedestrian mobility.
According to the Paramount High School site plan, a concrete sidewalk will be installed along the
east side of Linder Road from the southern access point to the north access point. Currently the
sidewalk is not continuous on either side of Linder Road. The east side of Linder Road has sidewalk
at the Paramount Subdivision only. The west side of Linder Road has sidewalk at the two recent
residential subdivisions.
Paramount High School should construct sidewalk along the entire length of its property on Linder
Road. Construction of sidewalk to the Linder/McMillan intersection is an off-site improvement. We
recommend sidewalk be built along the Linder Road as the property develops according to ACHD
policy. The development agreement with Paramount subdivision should have included the
construction of sidewalk along their property on Linder Road. One parcel remains between the school
site and McMillan Road. ACHD has recommended the school pursue sidewalk construction on this
property or within ACHD right-of-way.
Crossing Guard Plan
The proposed school will serve 91h -12th grade students and it is assumed that crossing guards should
not be necessary for high school students. '
Access Control on'Adjacent Highways
According to the HCS analysis conducted, all access points located along Linder Road will have
adequate capacity if the proposed mitigation measures are implemented. Additional analysis should
be conducted once the school is built.
C. Findings "for Consideration
1. Linder Road
Right -of -Way
r
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.
Improvements
District policy requires 7 -foot wide attached (or 5 -foot detached) concrete sidewalk on all collector
roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
The applicant should dedicate 48 -feet of right-of-way from'the centerline of Linder Road
abutting the parcel by means of a warranty deed. The right-of-way purchase and sale
agreement and deed must be completed and signed by the applicant prior to issuance of a
building permit. Allow up to 30 business days to process the right-of-way dedication after
receipt of all requested material. The owner will be paid the fair market value of the right-of-
way dedicated which is an addition to existing ACHD right-of-way. This right-of-way will be'
purchased with the use of corridor preservation funds. The applicant has indicated that it may
be difficult to dedicate the right-of-way prior to issuance of a building permit. Staff
recommends that the timeline be extended to allow the applicant until Febnjary 2007 to
complete the right-of-way dedication.
7
***The applicant will not be compensated for any right-of-way that is required for the turn lanes? ;.
that are necessary to serve the school site.
ki
• The applicant should construct a 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk on Linder Road abutting the
site. The sidewalk should be located a minimum of 41 -feet from the centerline of Linder Road.
*** The applicant is proposing to construct sidewalk on Linder Road abutting the out parcel
located between the proposed school site and West Cayuse Creek Drive. The District is
supportive of the applicant's proposal but does not have adequate right-of-way or an
easement for the sidewalk to be constructed in. The applicant should try to obtain an
easement or right-of-way from the property owner that will allow the sidewalk to be
constructed. If necessary, ACHD will purchase the needed right-of-way for the construction of
the sidewalk.
2. Driveways
District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of
50 to align or offset a minimum of 255 -feet from any existing or proposed driveway.
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.
• The applicant is proposing to construct a 36 -foot wide curb return type driveway that intersects
Linder Road approximately 115 -feet north of the south property line. This driveway meets
District policy and should be approved with this application. 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.
• The applicant is proposing to construct a 30 -foot wide curb return type driveway that intersects
Linder Road approximately 200 -feet south of the north property line. This driveway meets
District policy and should be approved with this application. 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.
3. West Cayuse Creek Drive
There is an existing driveway approach that extends from West Cayuse Creek Drive to the property's
north property line. The applicant has approximately 50 -feet of frontage to West Cayuse Creek Drive.
This approach was anticipated to serve the. school site that we are now reviewing. The applicant is
proposing to utilize this approach as a driveway for the school site. District staff is supportive of the
applicant's proposal.
• West Cayuse Creek Drive is fully improved with two traffic lanes with curb, gutter and sidewalk
(or a multi -use pathway). As such, the applicant will not be required to make any additional
modifications to West Cayuse Creek Drive.

7. Lack of Pedestrian Facilities
Much of the area surrounding the school site is still undeveloped and does not have adequate
pedestrian facilities. The traffic impact study mentions the lack of sidewalks surrounding the site and
recommends that sidewalks be constructed as development occurs. Although the District does
require all new developments to construct sidewalks on the adjacent roadways, the District can not
guarantee that sidewalk will be in place by the schools build out year of 2007: Itis important for the
City of Meridian and the Meridian School District to recognize that there are not adequate pedestrian
facilities in the area.

Paramount High School
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed Paramount High School is a school development located on the north side of McMillan
Road east of Linder Road in Meridian, Idaho. The project is expected to serve 1800 students and has
numerous recreational areas.
The Following are the principle conclusions of the traffic analysis for the Paramount High School:
1) The proposed school development is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of
3,078 vehicles of which the a.m. peak hour school traffic is 738 vehicles per hour. The p.m.
peak hour school traffic is 504 vehicles per hour. For purposes of this analysis, all trip
calculations for this study were based on the peak hour of the generator (Paramount High
School), not the adjacent street traffic.
2) As a result of the site build -out, traffic on the vicinity roadways is expected to increase.
Traffic on Linder Road may increase by 3,078 trips north of McMillan Road, 923 trips per
day south of McMillan Road, and 154 trips per day north of Chinden Boulevard. Traffic on
McMillan Road may increase by 462 trips per day east of Linder Road and 770 trips per day
west of Linder Road. Traffic on Chinden Boulevard (US 20/26) may increase by 246 trips
per day east of Linder Road and 462 trips per day west of Linder Road.
3) The intersection of Linder Road and Paramount Drive currently is controlled by a two-way
STOP. The Linder Road and Paramount Drive intersection currently operates under capacity
at Level of Service (LOS) B with the existing traffic volumes. For the background Year 2007
condition (e.g. regional growth), the intersection is predicted to operate at LOS C in the a.m.
peak hour and LOS B in the p.m. peak hour.
Under the current traffic volumes, a signal is not warranted at the intersection of Linder Road
and Paramount Drive. Intersection improvements are warranted for the build out condition
based on the existing rural conditions. A signalized intersection is warranted based on the
a.m. Build -Out peak hour RURAL condition. ACHD has identified this intersection for
signalization. In addition, a left turn bay and right turn bay are required based on
ACHD's nomographs for the Linder Road and Paramount Drive site approach
intersection.
Assuming the speed limit would be dropped from 50 mph to 35 mph as development occurs
in this area the signal warrant classification would change for the Linder Road and Paramount
Drive intersection. A speed limit reduction to 35 mph would change the warrant
classification from a rural application to an urban application. A signalized intersection is
not warranted based on either the a.m. or p.m. build out peak hour URBAN condition.
However, ACHD has identified this intersection for signalization.
4) The intersection of Linder Road and McMillan Road does not warrant a signal under the
current traffic volumes. Intersection improvements are warranted for the background and
build -out condition based on the existing rural conditions. A signalized intersection is
warranted based on the a.m. and p.m. build out peak hour RURAL condition. .
Signalization is warranted due to the large amount of minor street (McMillan Road) traffic.
The planned site will add approximately 31% of the total traffic in the 2007 a.m. peak Build -
Out condition. Approximately 17% of the total traffic in the 2007 p.m. peak will be from the
proposed development.
Assuming the speed limit would be dropped from 50 mph to 35 mph as development occurs
in this area the signal warrant classification would change. A speed limit reduction to 35 mph

would change the warrant classification from a rural application to an urban application. A
signalized intersection is warranted based on the p.m. build out peak hour URBAN
condition.
5) The intersection of Linder Road and Chinden Boulevard is currently signalized.
Improvements have been identified for the Linder Road and Chinden Boulevard
intersection. A crosswalk plan should be implemented at the Chinden
Boulevard/Linder Road intersection before the school is developed.
5) The mid -block site approach intersection with Linder Road is predicted to operate well
"under capacity" at LOS B throughout the development period for the a.m. and p.m. peak
hour of the school. A left turn bay and right turn bay are required based on ACHD's
nomographs for the mid -block site approach intersection.
6) The southern site approach intersection with Linder Road is predicted to operate well "under
capacity" at LOS B throughout the development period for the a.m. and p.m. peak hour of the
school. A left turn bay and right turn bay are required based on ACHD's nomographs
for the southern site approach intersection.
7) The forecast daily build out volumes for all of the roadways in the vicinity of the project are
lower than COMPASS' development thresholds. The area's roadways do not require any
capacity improvements under build out conditions.
The following are transportation -related improvements needed to accommodate the traffic volumes
generated by the Paramount High School development:
L Based on the a.m. peak hour build out, the p.m. peak hour Background and the p.m. peak
hour build out volume a signal is warranted at the intersection of Linder Road and
McMillan Road for the RURAL condition. The planned site will add approximately
31 % of the total traffic in the 2007 a.m. peak build out condition. Approximately 17% of
the total traffic in the 2007 p.m. peak will be from the proposed development. If the
URBAN condition is utilized for the site build out a signal is also warranted at the
intersection of Linder Road and McMillan Road.
2. A southbound left -turn bay is warranted at the Linder Road and Paramount Drive
approach intersection. Based on the HCS analysis, the predicted 95% vehicle queue
length averages less than one vehicle; ACHD's minimum storage length should be
adequate. A northbound right -turn bay is warranted at the Paramount Drive and Linder
Road intersection. Based on the HCS analysis, the predicted 95% vehicle queue length
averages less than one vehicle; ACHD's minimum storage length should be adequate.
A southbound left -turn bay is warranted at the mid -block site approach intersection with
Linder Road. Based on the HCS analysis, the predicted 95% vehicle queue length
averages less than one vehicle; ACHD's minimum storage length should be adequate. A
northbound right -turn bay is warranted at the mid -block site approach intersection with
Linder Road. Based on the HCS analysis, the predicted 95% vehicle queue length
averages less than one vehicle; ACHD's minimum storage length should be adequate.
4. A southbound left -turn bay is warranted at the southern site approach intersection with
Linder Road. Based on the HCS analysis, the predicted 95% vehicle queue length
averages less than one vehicle; ACHD's minimum storage length should be adequate. A
northbound right -turn bay is warranted at the southern site approach intersection with

Linder Road. Based on the HCS analysis, the predicted 95% vehicle queue length
averages less than one vehicle; ACHD's minimum storage length should be adequate.
5. Linder Road, McMillan Road, and Chinden Boulevard will not have adequate capacity to
handle the build out of the 12 -square mile North Meridian Planning Area at 2020.
ACRD should make future improvements on these roadways based on the
recommendations of the North Meridian Area Traffic Study.
6. No other traffic -related improvements have been identified with this analysis.

INTRODUCTION
Washington Group International (WGW) has been retained to prepare a traffic impact study for the
proposed Paramount High School development. The site is located on the east side of Linder Road north
of McMillan Road in Meridian, Idaho. Figure 1 shows the location of the project and its vicinity. The
purpose of this report is to evaluate the traffic impacts resulting from the proposed school development in
the vicinity of the project. This study will make recommendations for improvements to the transportation
system, which will mitigate adverse impacts of the development. This report is prepared in conformance
with the requirements of a major traffic impact study. In particular, the scope of the study includes the
following:
• Trip generation of the proposed development;
• Trip distribution and traffic assignment of the site generated traffic;
• Roadway capacity impacts on Linder Road, McMillan Road and Chinden Boulevard;
• Impacts of site generated traffic at the Linder Road / McMillan Road intersection, the Linder
Road / Chinden Boulevard intersection and site access intersections;
• School Site Checklist -Idaho Code 67-6519(3);
• Mitigation measures.
The Paramount High School project is a proposed school development. The project is expected to serve
1800 students and has numerous recreational areas. The proposed preliminary site plan for the project is
shown in Figure 2. The study assumes the development will be built by the year 2007.
STUDY AREA CONDITIONS
Study Area
The area of influence will be Ada County. The area of primary impact will be along Linder Road.
Roadway impacts will also be felt on McMillan Road east and west of Linder Road. Roadway impacts
will be felt on Chinden Boulevard east and west of Linder Road. The intersections considered for impacts
are the Linder/McMillan intersection, the Linder/Chinden intersection, three site access intersections
along Linder Road, and the site access intersection at the north parking lot accessing Paramount Drive.
Land Use
The project area is currently zoned for rural agricultural uses. The site is proposed to be rezoned
residential in accordance with the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plans.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
Traffic 'Volumes
Existing ADT, a.m. and p.m. peak hour turning movement volumes for the school site were obtained by
Washington Group International's (WGiNT) on-site counts and supplemented with the Ada County
Highway District detailed Traffic Counts. The 2020 forecast ADT was acquired from the North Meridian
Area Traffic Study. The existing daily, a.m. and p.m. peak hour traffic counts near the site are
summarized in Figure 3.
Road System
The road system in the site vicinity is described below:
• Linder Road is a north -south, two-lane facility classified as a minor arterial by COMPASS.
The posted speed limit on Linder Road is 50 mph north of McMillan Road and 35 mph south
of McMillan Road.
• McMillan Road'is an east -west, two-lane facility classified as a minor arterial by COMPASS.
The posted speed limit on McMillan Road is 50 mph east and west of Linder Road.
• Chinden Boulevard (Highway 20/26) is an east -west, two-lane facility classified as a
principal arterial by COMPASS. The posted speed limit on Chinden Boulevard is 55 mph
east and west of Linder Road.
Intersections
The intersections in the site vicinity are described below:
• The Linder Road / McMillan Road intersection is STOP controlled on Linder Road and
McMillan Road. Linder Road is a two-lane facility north and south of McMillan Road.
McMillan Road is a two-lane facility east and west of Linder Road.
• The Linder Road / Chinden Boulevard intersection is SIGNALIZED. Linder Road is a two-
lane facility north and south of Chinden Boulevard, with left turn bays for the north and
southbound approaches. Chinden Boulevard is a two-lane facility east and west of Linder
Road, with left turn bays for the east and westbound approaches.
STUDY PERIOD
The build"out year for this study will be 2007. This date was selected to allow for project approval,
engineering, construction, and full development of the site. Both the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hour
period was analyzed for site impacts because of the nature of the development. Typically the a.m. peak
hour at schools occurs on rural streets between 7:00 and 9:00 am. Typically the p.m. peak hour at a
school development occurs on rural streets between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. The a.m. and p.m. peak hour
was analyzed based on arrival and departure times of the students.
PROJECTED TRAFFIC
Site Traffic
Trip Generation
Site traffic generation is normally estimated by procedures recommended in the latest edition of the Trip
Generation Manual (7th Ed) published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Trip rates
Washington Group International 7
Paramount School TIS - Flnal.doc
Integrated Engineering, Construction, and Management Solutions
Paramount High School
estimated in the manual are based on actual driveway traffic measurements performed on different land
uses nationwide, particularly in metropolitan areas.
The site trip generation is obtained by applying the trip rates from the Trip Generation Manual to each of
the uses of the site development. For school developments the Trip Generation Manual estimates trips
generated by the number of students that will attend the school. Table 1 represents the summary of the
site trip generation used in this report. The proposed development is projected to generate an average
daily traffic (ADT) of 3,078 trips, of which the a.m. peak hour traffic (PHT) is 738 vehicles per hour.
The p.m. peak hour traffic is projected to generate 504 vehicles per hour.
According to the Trip Generation Handbook the a.m. peak hour of the generator (school site) was closely
related to the peak hour of the adjacent street traffic. Therefore the a.m. peak hour rate used for this
analysis coincides with both the peak hour trips for the adjacent street and the trips generated by the site.
The p.m. peak hour analysis was based solely on the trips generated from the developed site.

Trip Distribution
Paramount High School
Once the generated trips are estimated, they must be distributed to geographic origins or destinations and
assigned to particular segments of the encompassed transportation network. The trip distribution along
the roadway network and turning movement percentages were based on the Meridian Schools projected
boundary area for the Paramount High School. The distribution of the site traffic along the roadway
network is given in Figure 4 in the form of percentages of total generated traffic for the site. Figure 5
illustrates the rounded internal site traffic distribution.
Background Traffic
Background (No -Build) traffic volumes for the year 2007 were obtained from the ACRD detailed traffic
counts in conjunction with intersection counts conducted by Washington Group International. For the
areas roadways, the most current traffic counts were supplemented with additional counts conducted by
Washington Group International to determine the forecast peak hour volumes. A growth rate of I% was
used along Chinden Boulevard (US20/26) and a growth rate of 2% was used along all other roadways for
purposes of background traffic analysis based on estimates used in the North Meridian Area Traffic
Std.
Total Traffic
The site traffic is added to the background traffic to obtain the total build out traffic for the year 2007.
The site traffic distribution for the proposed school development is shown in Figure 6. The combined
values for the 2007 background a.m. and p.m. peak hour were added to daily traffic volumes generated by
the project site and are shown in Figure 7.

TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
Capacity Analysis and Level -of -Service
A capacity analysis was performed using the latest edition of Highway Capacity Software (HCS 4.1d)
based on the 2000 edition of the Highway Capacity Manual.
An intersection capacity analysis for the existing, 2007 background, and 2007 build out conditions was
performed. For the background conditions, the existing traffic control was assumed to be in place for
Year 2007 conditions. If necessary, revisions to the intersection control are presented. The results of the
area's capacity analysis are summarized in Table 2 & 2A.

The intersection of Paramount Subdivision and Linder Road is a two-way STOP at the present time. The
intersection of Paramount Subdivision and Linder Road currently operates at a Level of Service (LOS) B
in the a.m. peak hour and LOS C in the p.m. peak hour. For the build out condition the intersection is
predicted to operate at LOS F in the a.m. peak hour and LOS C in the p.m. peak hour.
According to the a.m. peak hour build out Year 2007 condition, the intersection warrants the need for a
signal. The intersection of Linder Road and the Paramount Drive should be considered for
signalization based on the 2007 RURAL roadway conditions. The warrant is based on rural
conditions. ACHD has identified this intersection for signalization. Additionally, a left turn bay and
right turn bay have been identified as necessary improvements for the Linder Road and the
Paramount Drive approach intersection based on ACHD's nomographs.
A capacity analysis was conducted to determine the Level of Service at the intersection of Linder Road
and Paramount Subdivision with signalization. For the 2007 build out year, a signalized intersection
would operate at LOS B in the a.m. peak. hour.

The intersection of Paramount Subdivision and Linder Road is a two-way STOP at the present time. The
intersection of Paramount Subdivision and Linder Road currently operates at a Level of Service (LOS) B
in the a.m. peak hour and LOS C in the p.m. peak hour. For the build out condition the intersection is
predicted to operate at LOS F in the a.m. peak hour and LOS C in the p.m. peak hour.
According to the a.m. peak hour build out Year 2007 condition, the intersection warrants the need for a
signal. The intersection of Linder Road and the Paramount Drive should be considered for
signalization based on the 2007 RURAL roadway conditions. The warrant is based on rural
conditions. ACHD has identified this intersection for signalization. Additionally, a left turn bay and
right turn bay have been identified as necessary improvements for the Linder Road and the
Paramount Drive approach intersection based on ACHD's nomographs.
A capacity analysis was conducted to determine the Level of Service at the intersection of Linder Road

A reduction in speed from 50 mph to 35 mph would reclassify the Linder Road and Paramount Drive
intersection from rural to urban. If Linder Road and Paramount Drive is reclassified URBAN, the
intersection does not warrant signalization based on MUTCD's peak hour volume warrant for the
build out 2007 conditions.
The intersection of Linder Road and McMillan Road is a four-way STOP at the present time. The
intersection of Linder Road and McMillan Road currently operates under capacity at LOS B in the a.m.
peak hour and LOS C in the p.m. peak hour. For the background Year 2007 condition, the intersection is
predicted to operate at LOS C. During the peak hour build out condition the intersection is predicted to
operate at LOS D in the a.m. and operate at LOS E in the p.m.
According to the p.m. peak hour background Year 2007 as well as the p.m. peak hour build out 2007
condition, the intersection warrants the need for a signal. A signal is also warranted based on the a.m.
peak hour build out 2007 condition. These warrants are based on the existing rural conditions that exist
along both Linder Road and McMillan Road. The intersection of Linder Road and McMillan Road
should be considered for signalization based on the 2007 RURAL roadway conditions. The warrant
is based on the high volume of opposing traffic on the minor street, McMillan Road, and was analyzed
based on rural conditions.
A capacity analysis was conducted to determine the Level of Service at the intersection of Linder Road
and McMillan Road with signalization. For the Background condition, a signalized intersection would
operate well under capacity at LOS B in the p.m. peak hour. For the 2007 build out year, a signalized
intersection would operate at LOS B in the a.m. and p.m. peak hour.
A reduction in speed from 50 mph to 35 mph would reclassify the Linder Road and McMillan Road
intersection from a rural to an urban roadway. Reclassification of the Linder Road and McMillan Road
intersection warrants the need for a signal based on the p.m. peak hour build out condition. If Linder
Road and McMillan Road are reclassified URBAN, the intersection should be considered for
signalization based on the Build -Out 2007 conditions.
The mid -block site approach intersection with Linder Road is predicted to operate well "under capacity"
at LOS C or better throughout the development period. A left turn bay and right turn bay have been
identified as necessary improvements for the mid -block approach intersection with Linder Road
based on ACHD's nomographs.
The south site approach intersection with Linder Road is predicted to operate well "under capacity" at
LOS C or better throughout the development period. A left turn bay and right turn bay have been
identified as necessary improvements for the south approach intersection with Linder Road based
on ACHD's nomographs.
Roadway Capacity
The capacity thresholds defined by the COMPASS capacity guidelines for arterial streets are as follows:
A 2 -lane minor arterial road (Linder Road, McMillan Road) is 14,000 vehicles per day at LOS
D.
A 2 -lane principal arterial road (Chinden Boulevard -US 20/26) is 23,000 vehicles per day at
LOS E.
Table 3 summarizes the future traffic projections and capacity requirements on roadways within the
vicinity of the site. Based on the build out traffic forecasts for the roadway network, all roadways are
G Washington Group international Paramount School US - Fimal.16
doc
Integrated Engineering, Construction, and Management Solutions
Paramount High School
well under the COMPASS planning thresholds. The Build -Out (e.g. background traffic plus the new
site traffic) traffic volumes does not warrant any roadway system improvements.
Site Access and Circulation
The Ada County Highway District requirements for right -turn bays and left -turn bays were used to
evaluate the need for right and left -turn lanes at the site accesses. Based on these nomographs, the
northern site approach, the mid -block site approach, and the southern site approach require separate left -
turn and right -turn lanes. All access locations conform to the minimum spacing requirements defined in
the Ada County Highway District development policy manual.
SCHOOL SITE CHECKLIST
SCHOOL SITE ZONING
Land Use Master Plan
The site plan submitted by Lombard -Conrad Architects provides a layout of the land use master plan.
The school buildings total approximately 260,000 square feet and are located in the south central region
of the proposed development. To the north of the structures, two parking lots will accommodate 685
vehicles. To the south of the structures, one parking lot will accommodate 24 vehicles. Another parking
lot to the south will accommodate 20 busses. To the west of the structures, three parking lots will
accommodate 214 parking spaces. A parking lot between the structures and west parking lot will
accommodate 38 parent vehicles.
As indicated in the site plan a roadway will bisect the two major parking lots to the north, extend to the
east of the north parking lot, turn south around the main football field. The road will shift to the west and
terminate on Linder Road as the south access. To the north, east, and south of this roadway multiple
sporting fields are proposed for development.
Location of School Zone
According to the Meridian School District, the service area will likely change as the North Meridian area
develops. Initally, the new school's service area will cover the North Meridian area. The boundary on
opening day (2007) is currently planned to be Ustick to the south, the Boise River to the north, Black Cat
to the west and Eagle Road to the east.

Anticipated development on surrounding undeveloped parcels and zoning in the vicinity
Information pertaining'to the anticipated development on surrounding undeveloped parcels and zoning in
the vicinity is included in the appendix.
Anticipated future improvements
Linder Road will not have adequate capacity to handle the Build -Out of the 12 -square mile North
Meridian Planning Area at 2020. ACHD should make future improvements on this roadway based on the
recommendations of the North Meridian Area Traffic Study.
According to the North Meridian Area Traffic Study Linder Road requires a 5 -lane section for the study
area by the Build -Out year 2020.
Chinden Boulevard will not have adequate capacity to handle the Build -Out of the 12 -square mile North
Meridian Planning Area at 2020. ACRD should make future improvements on this roadway based on the
recommendations of the North Meridian Area Traffic Study.
According to the North Meridian Area Traffic Study Chinden Boulevard requires a 5 -lane section for the
study area by the build out year 2020. McMillan Road is forecasted with a 5 -lane section for the study
area by the build out year 2020.
ADDITIONAL SCHOOL SITE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
School Bus Plan
The site plan allows busses to enter the school site at the mid -block approach. From the mid -block site
access approach the bus is directed around the back of the school and will be allowed to exit at the
southern approach. The roadway to the north, east, and south of the structures will alleviate congestion at
the northern approach. Busses are the only vehicles allowed access to the roadway east of the north
parking lots and this roadway must be signed accordingly.
Need for Flashing Beacon
Based on ACHD Procedure for School Crossing Improvements the determination for a pedestrian stop
control signal, school zone flashers and in -pavement flashers were analyzed. Under the 2007 build out
RURAL conditions, and assuming that a signal will be installed at the intersection of Linder Road and
McMillan Road by the year 2007 it was determined that there is NO need to place a school zone flashers.
Further investigation should be conducted to justify the need of school zone flashers once the school is
built.
According to the 2007 build out condition and assuming that a signal will be installed at the intersection
of Linder Road and McMillan Road, in -pavement flashers and a pedestrian stop control signal are NOT
warranted. Further investigation should be conducted to justify the need of in -pavement flashers as well
as a pedestrian stop control signal once the school is built.
If Linder Road and McMillan Road have the speed limit dropped from 50 mph to 35 mph the intersection
would fall under the URBAN application for signalization. Based on this assumption a signal at the
Linder Road and McMillan Road intersection is warranted. This URBAN application does not warrant
Washington Group International Paramount School TIS - Finat.18
doc
Integrated Engineering. Construction, and Management Solutions
Paramount High School
the need for in -pavement flashers, school zone flashers, and a pedestrian stop control signal. Again,
further investigation should be conducted to justify the need of in -pavement flashers as well as a
pedestrian stop control signal once the school is built.
Required Striping and Signing Modifications
Signing to clarify that only busses are permitted along the roadway east of the parking lot must be placed
to ensure that all other vehicles do not utilize the roadway. Typical signage should be 39'X X' (R5-1).
The north, mid -block, and south site access approaches warrant left turn bays and right turn bays. A
striping plan for left turn bays and right turn bays at both approaches should comply with the ACHD
Development Policy Manual.
ADDITIONAL SCHOOL SITE ROADWAY ANALYSIS
Barriers Between Highways and School
Linder Road has three full access points. According to the site plan submitted by the developer a raised
concrete sidewalk will be installed along Linder Road.
Highway 20/26 is approximately 1/2 mile north of the northern site access. Due to the large distance
separation between the northern approach school site access and the highway there no need to add any
type of barrier system between Highway 20/26 and Paramount High School.
Speed on Adjacent Highway
The current speed limit on McMillan Road is 50 mph east and west of Linder Road. An additional
analysis was conducted for signalization and school crossing improvements based on an assumed
reduction in speed along McMillan to 35 mph.
The current speed limit on Linder Road is 50 mph north of McMillan Road and 35 mph south of
McMillan Road. An additional analysis was conducted for signalization and school crossing
improvements based on an assumed reduction in speed along Linder Road north of McMillan Road to 35
mph.
The current speed limit on Highway 20/26 is 55 mph. Highway 20/26 is approximately y2 of a mile north
of the northern approach access.
SCHOOL SITE ACCESS MANAGEMENT
Access Safety
The following is a summarized list that clarifies the implementation the developer will use to maintain
safe access to the development:
• Limited access points to Linder Road and McMillan Road;
19

Paramount High School
• Anticipated signal installation at Linder/McMillan Road (rural & urban
application);
• Anticipated signal installation at the Linder/Paramount Drive intersection (rural
application);
• No thru traffic at site;
• One street connection to the existing Paramount Drive stub street;
• Adequate capacity at access points and adjacent streets;
• Bus access lane on property;
• Concrete sidewalks abut project site;
• Off-street parking;
• Off-street loading and drop-off zone.
Pedestrian Plan
Currently Highway 20!26, Wx a mile north of the northern approach access, has no crosswalks. A
crosswalk plan should be implemented at the Chinden Boulevard/Linder Road intersection before the
school is developed. According to the build out traffic demand on the intersection of Linder Road and
McMillan Road a signal is warranted based on RURAL and URBAN conditions. Assuming that
signal ization of the Linder Road and McMillan Road intersection occurs a crosswalk plan would be
implemented that would allow pedestrians to cross all four legs of the intersection.
According to the Paramount High School site plan a concrete sidewalk will be installed along the east
side of Linder Road from the southern access point to the north access point.
Crossing Guard Plan
According to the Build -Out RURAL and URBAN condition a signal at the intersection of Linder Road
and McMillan Road will be installed. Implementation of a signal at the intersection of Linder Road and
McMillan Road will include crosswalks along all four legs of the intersection.
The proposed school will serve ] 0`I' — 12`I' grade students and it is assumed that crossing guards should not
be necessary for high school students.
Access Control on Adjacent Highways
Based on the existing rural conditions a signal is warranted in the build out year. Implementation of a
signal at the intersection of Linder Road and McMillan Road will enhance the access control on both
Linder Road and McMillan Road.
According to the HCS analysis conducted, all access points located along Linder Road will have adequate
capacity if the proposed mitigation measures are implemented. Additional analysis should be conducted
once the school is built.
ADDITIONAL SCHOOL SITE INFORMATION
Any information not specifically outlined in the school site checklist based on Idaho Code 67-6519(3) can
be found in other sections of the Paramount High School Traffic Impact Study.

CONCLUSIONS
The proposed Paramount High School is a school development located on the north side of McMillan
Road east of Linder Road in Meridian, Idaho. The project is expected to serve 1000 students and has
numerous recreational areas.
The following are the principle conclusions of the traffic analysis for the Paramount High School:
1) The proposed school development is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of
3,078 vehicles of which the a.m. peak hour school traffic is 738 vehicles per hour. The p.m.
peak hour school traffic is 504 vehicles per hour. For purposes of this analysis, all trip
calculations for this study were based on the generator (Paramount High School), not the
adjacent street traffic.
2) As a result of the site build -out, traffic on the vicinity roadways is expected to increase.
Traffic on Linder Road may increase by 3,078 trips north of McMillan Road, 923 trips per
day south of McMillan Road, and 154 trips per day north of Chinden Boulevard. Traffic on
McMillan Road may increase by 462 trips per day east of Linder Road and 770 trips per day
west of Linder Road. Traffic on Chinden Boulevard (US 20/26) may increase by 246 trips
per day east of Linder Road and 462 trips per day west of Linder Road.
3) The intersection of Linder Road and Paramount Drive currently is controlled by a two-way
STOP. The Linder Road and Paramount Drive intersection currently operates under capacity
at Level of Service (LOS) B with the existing traffic volumes. For the background Year 2007
condition (e.g. regional growth), the intersection is predicted to operate at LOS C in the a.m.
peak hour and LOS B in the p.m. peak hour.
Under the current traffic volumes, a signal is not warranted at the intersection of Linder Road
and Paramount Drive. intersection improvements are warranted for the build out condition
based on the existing rural conditions. A signalized intersection is warranted based on the
a.m. Build -Out peak hour RURAL condition. ACHD has identified this intersection for
signalization. In addition, a left turn bay and right turn bay are required based on
ACHD's nomographs for the Linder Road and Paramount Drive site approach
intersection.
Assuming the speed limit would be dropped from 50 mph to 35 mph as development occurs
in this area the signal warrant classification would change for the Linder Road and Paramount
Drive intersection. A speed limit reduction to 35 mph would change the warrant
classification from a rural application to an urban application. A signalized intersection is
not warranted based on either the a.m. or p.m. build out peak hour URBAN condition.
However, ACHD has identified this intersection for signalization.
4) The intersection of Linder Road and McMillan Road does not warrant a signal under the
current traffic volumes. Intersection improvements are warranted for the background and
build -out condition based on the existing rural conditions. A signalized intersection is
warranted based on the a.m. and p.m. build out peak hour RURAL condition.
Signalization is warranted due to the large amount of minor street (McMillan Road) traffic.
The planned site will add approximately 31% of the total traffic in the 2007 a.m. peak Build -
Out condition. Approximately 17% of the total traffic in the 2007 p.m. peak will be from the
proposed development.
Assuming the speed limit would be dropped from 50 mph to 35 mph as development occurs
in this area the signal warrant classification would change. A speed limit reduction to 35 mph
would change the warrant classification from a rural application to an urban application. A

signalized intersection is warranted based on the p.m. build out peak hour URBAN
condition.
6) The intersection of Linder Road and Chinden Boulevard is currently signalized.
Improvements have been identified for the Linder Road and Chinden Boulevard
intersection. A crosswalk plan should be implemented at the Chinden
Boulevard/Linder Road intersection before the school is developed.
6) The mid -block site approach intersection with Linder Road is predicted to operate well
"under capacity" at LOS B throughout the development period for the a.m. and p.m. peak
hour of the school. A left turn bay and right turn bay are required based on ACHD's
nomographs for the mid -block site approach intersection.
7) The southern site approach intersection with Linder Road is predicted to operate well "under
capacity" at LOS B throughout the development period for the a.m. and p.m. peak hour of the
school. A left turn bay and right turn bay are required based on ACHD's nomographs
for the southern site approach intersection.
8) The forecast daily build out volumes for all of the roadways in the vicinity of the project are
lower than COMPASS' development thresholds. The area's roadways do not require any
capacity improvements under build out conditions.
The following are transportation -related improvements needed to accommodate the traffic volumes
generated by the Paramount High School development:
Based on the a.m. peak hour build out, the p.m. peak hour Background and the p.m. peak
hour build out volume a signal is warranted at the intersection of Linder Road and
McMillan Road for the RURAL condition. The planned site will add approximately
31 % of the total traffic in the 2007 a.m. peak build out condition. Approximately 17% of
the total traffic in the 2007 p.m. peak will be from the proposed development. If the
URBAN condition is utilized for the site build out a signal is also warranted at the
intersection of Linder Road and McMillan Road.
2. A southbound left -tura bay is warranted at the Linder Road and Paramount Drive
approach intersection. Based on the HCS analysis, the predicted 95% vehicle queue
length averages less than one vehicle; ACHD's minimum storage length should be
adequate. A northbound right -turn bay is warranted at the Paramount Drive and Linder
Road intersection. Based on the HCS analysis, the predicted 95% vehicle queue length
averages less than one vehicle; ACHD's minimum storage length should be adequate.
3. A southbound left -turn bay. is warranted at the mid -block site approach intersection with
Linder Road. Based on the HCS analysis, the predicted 95% vehicle queue length
averages less than one vehicle; ACHD's minimum storage length should be adequate. A
northbound right -turn bay is warranted at the mid -block site approach intersection with
Linder Road. Based on the HCS analysis, the predicted 95% vehicle queue length
averages less than one vehicle; ACHD's minimum storage length should be adequate.
4. A southbound left -turn bay is warranted at the southern site approach intersection with
Linder Road. Based on the HCS analysis, the predicted 95% vehicle queue length
averages less than one vehicle; ACHD's minimum storage length should be adequate. A
northbound right -turn bay is warranted at the southern site approach intersection with

Linder Road. Based on the HCS analysis, the predicted 95% vehicle queue length
averages less than one vehicle; ACHD's minimum storage length should be adequate.
5. Linder Road, McMillan Road, and Chinden Boulevard will not have adequate capacity to
handle the build out of the 12 -square mile North Meridian Planning Area at 2020.
ACHD should make future improvements on these roadways based on the
recommendations of the North Meridian Area Traffic Study.
6. No other traffic -related improvements have been identified with this analysis.
