Investments LLC Ada County Highway District • 3775 Adams Street • Garden City, ID • 83714 • PH 208-387-6100 • FX 345-7650 • www.achdidaho.org Traffic Information Horrocks Engineers prepared a traffic impact study for the proposed Overland Park Apartments. Below is an executive summary of the findings as presented by Horrocks Engineers. The following executive summary is not the opinion of ACHD staff. ACHD has reviewed the submitted traffic impact study for consistency with ACHD policies and practices, and may have additional requirements beyond what is noted in the summary. ACHD Staff comments on the submitted traffic impact study can be found below under staff comments. This study was prepared in compliance with the Ada County Highway District (ACHD's) requirements for Traffic Impact Studies listed in Section 7106 of the current ACHD Policy Manual. It evaluates the traffic impacts generated by the proposed Pardoe Apartments. The study area, scope, and specific analysis parameters and requirements were established by discussions with ACHD and travel model feedback from COMPASS. Proposed Development Pardoe Apartments is a 190 -unit apartment complex located within the Meridian City limits in Ada County. The development is planned to be constructed in one phase. House units will be built as utilities and construction logistics allow. Pardoe Apartments is located within the area bounded by the following roads: Overland Road Tech Lane 1-84 One full access approach for the development is proposed. The approach forms a T -intersection with the existing roadway and is stop -controlled. Proposed Mitigation for Existing Traffic For the existing traffic conditions analyzed with the existing roadway lane configuration, all study area intersections meet ACHD's minimum operational thresholds. No intersection improvements are needed to mitigate the existing traffic. Proposed Mitigation for 2018 (Build -out) Background Traffic For the 2018 background traffic conditions analyzed with the existing roadway lance configuration. Based on the COMPASS traffic model growth through 2018, the Overland/Meridian Road intersection will have a few moments that are over capacity. Proposed Mitigation for 2018 (Build -out) Site Plus Background Traffic For the 2018 site plus background traffic conditions analyzed with the existing lane configuration. After adding the project traffic to background traffic, the Meridian/Overland intersection operates at the same level of service as the 2018 background traffic. Mitigation measures detailed above are still required. Staff Comments:ACHD Traffic Services and Development Review staff have reviewed the submitted traffic impact study and found it to meet it to meet ACHD's policy and standards. Staff agrees with the findings and recommendations of the traffic impact study.
