3. Site History: ACHD staff/Commission previously reviewed this site as Irvine Subdivision/MPP-
05-037/MCUP-05-039/MAZ-05-038 in September 2005. The requirements of this staff report are
consistent with those of the prior action.
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):
• Ten Mile Road is listed in the Capital Improvements Plan to be widened to 5-lanes from
McMillan Road to Chinden Boulevard/SH-20/26 between 2027 and 2031.
• The intersection of Chinden Boulevard/SH-20/26 and Ten Mile Road is listed in the Capital
Improvements Plan to be widened to 0-lanes on the north leg, 5-lanes on the south, 6-lanes
east, and 6-lanes on the west leg, and signalized between 2017 and 2021.
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 1,380 additional vehicle trips per
day (0 existing); 145 additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour (0 existing), based on
the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 9th edition.
2. Traffic Impact Study
A traffic study was required with the original Irvine Subdivision application in 2005 due to the size
of the development. At that time the development initially proposed 159 single-family residential
units plus 41 single-family townhouse units (total of 200 units). The applicant submitted a revised
plat, which reduced the number of residential lots to 175 residential lots and 12 common lots. A
new study was not required with the revised plat. The initial traffic impact study indicated the
development was estimated to generate 1,763 vehicle trips per day, with 183 vehicle trips in the
PM Peak hour. Through this preliminary plat resubmittal, the applicant is proposing less
residential buildable lots than what were originally considered. The applicant has reduced the
number residential lots from 175 single-family units to 145 single-family units, which reduces the
number of average daily trips by 286 average vehicle trips of which 30 are in the PM Peak hour,
therefore, a new traffic study was not required.

4. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT)
Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD's most current traffic counts.
The average daily traffic count for Chinden Boulevard west of Linder Road was 16,125
on 12/14/2011.

The average daily traffic count for Ten Mile Road south of Chinden Boulevard/SH-20/26
was 4,026 on 3/11/13.
C. Findings for Consideration
1. Chinden Boulevard SH-20/26
Chinden Boulevard/SH-20/26 is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department
(ITD). The applicant, City of Meridian, and ITD should work together to determine if additional
right-of-way or improvements are necessary on Chinden Boulevard/SH-20/26.
2. Ten Mile Road
a. Existing Conditions: Ten Mile Road is improved with 2-travel lanes, and no curb, gutter or
sidewalk abutting the site. There is 88-feet of right-of--way for Ten Mile Road (41-feet from
centerline).
b. Policy:
Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken
to all of the adjacent streets.
Master Street Map and Typology Policy: District Policy 7205.5 states that the design of
improvements for arterials shall be in accordance with District standards, including the Master
Street Map and Livable Streets Design Guide. The developer or engineer should contact the
District before starting any design.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Width Policy: District Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 state
that the standard 5-lane street section shall be 72-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) within
96-feet of right-of--way. This width typically accommodates two travel lanes in each direction, a
continuous center left-turn lane, and bike lanes on a minor arterial and a safety shoulder on a
principal arterial.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires a concrete sidewalks at least 5-feet wide to
be constructed on both sides of all arterial streets. A parkway strip at least 6-feet wide
between the back-of-curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased
safety and protection of pedestrians. Consult the District's planter width policy if trees are to
be placed within the parkway strip. Sidewalks constructed next to the back-of--curb shall be a
minimum of 7-feet wide.
Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway.
Meandering sidewalks are discouraged.
A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of
the dedicated right-of--way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-
of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located
wholly within the public right-of--way or wholly within an easement.).
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.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has not proposed any improvements to Ten Mile Road
abutting the site.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District policy
and should not be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to construct a 5-
foot wide detached concrete sidewalk located a minimum of 45-feet from the centerline of Ten
3 Irvine 2012/MPP-12-018
Mile Road abutting the site. The applicant should either dedication additional right-of-way to
encompass 2-feet behind the back of sidewalk, or provide the District with a permanent right-
of-way easement if the public sidewalks are placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way. The
easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-of-way line and 2-feet behind the
back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located wholly within the public right-of-
way or wholly within an easement
3. Internal Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing public roadways within the site.
b. Policy:
Local Roadway Policy: District Policy 7207.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all local street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is
taken to all of the adjacent streets.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District Policy 7207.5 states that right-of--way
widths for all local streets shall generally not be less than 50-feet wide and that the standard
street section shall be 36-feet (back-of--curb to back-of-curb). The District will consider the
utilization of a street width less than 36-feet with written fire department approval.
Standard Urban Local Street-36-foot to 33-foot Street Section and Right-of-way Policy:
District Policy 7207.5.2 states that the standard street section shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to
back-of-curb) for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. This
street section shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot concrete sidewalks on both sides
and shall typically be within 50-feet of right-of-way.
The District will also consider the utilization of a street width less than 36-feet with written fire
department approval. Most often this width is a 33-foot street section (back-of--curb to back-
of-curb) for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size.
Continuation of Streets Policy: District Policy 7207.2.4 states that an existing street, or a
street in an approved preliminary plat, which ends at a boundary of a proposed development
shall be extended in that development. The extension shall include provisions for continuation
of storm drainage facilities. Benefits of connectivity include but are not limited to the following:
• Reduces vehicle miles traveled.
• Increases pedestrian and bicycle connectivity.
• Increases access for emergency services.
• Reduces need for additional access points to the arterial street system
• Promotes the efficient delivery of services including trash, mail and deliveries.
• Promotes appropriate intra-neighborhood traffic circulation to schools, parks,
neighborhood commercial centers, transit stops, etc.
• Promotes orderly development.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7207.5.7 states that five-foot wide concrete sidewalk is
required on both sides of all local street, except those in rural developments with net densities
of one dwelling unit per 1.0 acre or less, or in hillside conditions where there is no direct lot
frontage, in which case a sidewalk shall be constructed along one side of the street. Some
local jurisdictions may require wider sidewalks.
The sidewalk may be placed next to the back-of-curb. Where feasible, a parkway strip at least
8-feet wide between the back-of--curb and the street edge of the sidewalk is recommended to
provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians and to allow for the planting of trees in
accordance with the District's Tree Planting Policy. If no trees are to be planted in the
4 Irvine 2012/MPP-12-018
parkway strip, the applicant may submit a request to the District, with justification, to reduce
the width of the parkway strip.
Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway.
Meandering sidewalks are discouraged.
A permanent right-of--way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of
the dedicated right-of--way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-
of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located
wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement.).
Cul-de-sac Streets Policy: District policy 7207.5.8 requires cul-de-sacs to be constructed to
provide a minimum turning radius of 45-feet; in rural areas or for temporary cul-de-sacs the
emergency service providers may require a greater radius. Landscape and parking islands
may be constructed in turnarounds if a minimum 29-foot street section is constructed around
the island. The pavement width shall be sufficient to allow the turning around of a standard
AASHTO SU design vehicle without backing. The developer shall provide written approval
from the appropriate fire department for this design element.
The District will consider alternatives to the standard cul-de-sac turnaround on a case-by-case
basis. This will be based on turning area, drainage, maintenance considerations and the
written approval of the agency providing emergency fire service for the area where the
development is located.
Landscape Medians Policy: District policy 7207.5.16 states that landscape medians are
permissible where adequate pavement width is provided on each side of the median to
accommodate the travel lanes and where the following is provided:
• The median is platted as right-of-way owned by ACHD.
• The width of an island near an intersection is 12-feet maximum for a minimum distance of
150-feet. Beyond the 150-feet, the island may increase to a maximum width of 30-feet.
• At an intersection that is signalized or is to be signalized in the future, the median width
shall be reduced to accommodate the necessary turn lane storage and tapers.
• The Developer or Homeowners Association shall apply fora license agreement if
landscaping is to be placed within these medians.
• The license agreement shall contain the District's requirements of the developer including,
but not limited to, a "hold harmless" clause; requirements for maintenance by the
developer; liability insurance requirements; and restrictions.
• Vertical curbs are required around the perimeter of any raised median. Gutters shall slope
away from the curb to prevent ponding.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Seadrift Street, the entry road
into the development, from Ten Mile Road east 100-feet to the Seadrift/Seawind Avenue

Local Street Intersection Spacing on Minor Arterials: District policy 7205.4.3 states that
new local streets should not typically intersect arterials. Local streets should typically intersect
collectors. If it is necessary, as determined by ACHD, for a local street to intersect an arterial,
the minimum allowable offset shall be 660-feet as measured from all other existing roadways
as identified in Table 1 a (7205.4.6).
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a new local roadway, Seadrift
Street to intersect Ten Mile Road approximately 490-feet (centerline to centerline) south of
Chinden Boulevard/SH-20/26.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District policy,
however, staff recommends a modification to policy as the intersection of Ten Mile Road and
Chinden Boulevard/SH-20/26 improvement design shows that the proposed roadway would
be outside of the turn bays and taper areas, and should be approved as proposed.
5. Stub Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are 2 existing stub streets to the site, Silver Spruce Avenue and
Tango Creek Drive.
b. Policy:
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7207.2.4 (local) states that stub streets will be required to
provide circulation or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with
the requirements described in Section 7207.2.5.4 (local), 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."
In addition, stub streets must meet the following conditions:
6 Irvine 2012/MPP-12-018
• A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the nearest street intersection within the
proposed development and drain surface water towards that intersection; unless an
alternative storm drain system is approved by the District.
The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will
remain free of obstructions.
Temporary Dead End Streets Policy: District policy 7207.2.4 (local) requires that the design
and construction for cul-de-sac streets shall apply to temporary dead end streets. The
temporary cul-de-sac shall be paved and shall be the dimensional requirements of a standard
cul-de-sac. The developer shall grant a temporary turnaround easement to the District for
those portions of the cul-de-sac which extend beyond the dedicated street right-of-way. In the
instance where a temporary easement extends onto a buildable lot, the entire lot shall be
encumbered by the easement and identified on the plat as anon-buildable lot until the street
is extended.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to stub Seadrift Street 125-feet to the east
abutting property, located approximately 490-feet south of Chinden Boulevard/SH-20/26.

located approximately 1,250-feet south of Chinden Boulevard/SH-20/26.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Policy. Staff
recommends approval as proposed. The two proposed stubbed streets will provide
connectivity to the abutting properties.
The applicant should be required to install a sign at the terminus of the stub streets stating
that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."
6. 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.
7. Landscaping
Landscaping Policy: A license agreement is required for all landscaping proposed within ACRD
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.

Ada County Utility Coordinating Council
Developer/Local Improvement District
Right of Way Improvements Guideline Request
Purpose: To develop the necessary avenue for proper notification to utilities of local highway
and road improvements, to help the utilities in budgeting and to clarify the already existing process.
1) Notification: Within five (5) working days upon notification of required right of way
improvements by Highway entities, developers shall provide written notification to the affected
utility owners and the Ada County Utility Coordinating Council (UCC). Notification shall include
but not be limited to, project limits, scope of roadway improvements/project, anticipated
construction dates, and any portions critical to the right of way improvements and coordination
of utilities.
2) Plan Review: The developer shall provide the highway entities and all utility owners with
preliminary project plans and schedule a plan review conference. Depending on the scale of

Re: PP 12-018 Irvine Subdivision
The Idaho Transportation Department has reviewed the referenced rezone and preliminary plat
for the Irvine residential subdivision project site on Ten Mile Road near US 20-26 (Chinden
Boulevard). ITD has the following comments:
1) ITD's corridor plan requires a minimum of 70-ft ofright-of--way as measured from the
section line in US 20-26. The supplied plat drawing appears to show the existing 40-ft
ofright-of--way plus an additiona130-ft for a future right-of--way acquisition. Then plat
appears to meet ITD minimum right-of--way requirements.
2) The 70-ft half-width allows the minimum width for a future six-lane roadway but
requires that the City's sidewalks are located within the right-of--way. ITD does not
require sidewalks abutting the state highways. Locating the City's sidewalk outside of
the right-of--way would simplify the future roadway plans and minimizes the cost of
surface water drainage.
3) ITD has an access management plan for US 20-26 (Chinden Boulevard). The Irvine
site plan does not include any access to new US 20-26. The applicant's site does not
appear to affect ITD's access management plans.
4) ITD has no immediate project to widen US 20-26 although the long term corridor plan
is to provide a four and then six-lane roadway. No construction year has been assigned,
but the extension of SH-16 between SH-44 and US 20-26 will certainly accelerate any
future construction program.
5) The proposed residential land use creates a relatively small site-generated trip volume.
This has an important impact on the regional roadway system. The Irvine subdivision
is all single family homes. This type of development separates homes from
employment opportunities and increases the average journey-to-work and home-to-
shopping trip distance. Although the trip generation this project is relatively small, the
cumulative impact of such subdivisions will certainly increase regional travel demand
and necessitate additional investment in the transportation system. These development
plans incur a regional cost to expand the roadway network. This site's location on the

and reducing both travel distance and the number of trips.
