C. Findings for Consideration
1. Meridian Road/McMillan Road Intersection
The applicant, Brighton Corporation, entered into a Cooperative Development Agreement with
ACHD in 2007 to design and construct the signalization and widening of the Meridian/McMillan
intersection. The intersection was improved with 4 -lanes and bike lanes on Meridian Road, and
3 -lanes and bike lanes on McMillan Road.
2. Circulation
In an effort to minimize impact to the surrounding neighborhood, the applicant has proposed to
construct two loop streets within the subdivision, connecting Meridian and McMillan Road. The
outer loop, Studio Drive, is a collector road. The inner loop, Motion Picture Drive is a
local/commercial street. Studio Drive will provide connectivity to the existing subdivision to the
west (which these parcels were a part of the original application in 2003) by providing another
outlet to Bluefir Street, Cagney Street, and Valentino Street. This will provide more connectivity
throughout the area. The applicant intends to have only one driveway off of Studio Drive as
access to the apartment complex, and all other apartment access will occur on the proposed
local/commercial streets. Access to the commercial lots will also be off of the local/commercial
streets. The applicant has provided adequate access internal to the proposed subdivision so as
to limit traffic impacts within the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed connectivity allows for
the existing residents to easily drive or walk to the proposed commercial uses.
3. Meridian Road
a. Existing Conditions: Meridian Road is improved with 2 to 3 -travel lanes, and detached
sidewalk the entire frontage of the site. Within the influence area of the intersection there is
vertical curb and gutter. Right-of-way was previously acquired with the intersection project.
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.
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 Meridian Road is designated in the
MSM as a Residential Arterial with 3 -lanes and on -street bike lanes, a 3 -lane street section
within 74 -feet of right-of-way.
Street Section and Right -of Way Width Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 states
that the standard 3 -lane street section shall be 46 -feet (back -of -curb to back -of -curb) within 70
feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates a single travel lane in each direction,
a continuous center left -turn lane, and bike lanes.
Right -of -Way Dedication: District Policy 7205.2 states that The District will provide
compensation for additional right-of-way dedicated beyond the existing right-of-way along
arterials listed as impact fee eligible in the adopted Capital Improvements Plan using available
impact fee revenue in the Impact Fee Service Area.
No compensation will be provided for right-of-way on an arterial that is not listed as impact fee
eligible in the Capital Improvements Plan.
3 Paramount Southeast /MPP15-0002
The District may acquire additional right-of-way beyond the site -related needs to preserve a
corridor for future capacity improvements, as provided in Section 7300.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires a concrete sidewalk 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.
Frontage Improvements Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer shall
widen the pavement to a minimum of 17 -feet from centerline plus a 3 -foot wide gravel
shoulder adjacent to the entire site. Curb, gutter and additional pavement widening may be
required (See Section 7205.5.5).
Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to
existing streets adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These improvements
are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk construction
or, replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused
driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps;
pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any additional improvements to Meridian
Road because the improvements were constructed with the intersection project, and all right-
of-way was dedicated at that time.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: If there are any deficiencies to existing facilities, the
applicant should be required to improve per the Minor Improvements Policy. The applicant
should also widen the pavement to a minimum of 17 -feet from centerline plus a 3 -foot wide
gravel shoulder.
4. McMillan Road
a. Existing Conditions: McMillan Road is improved with 2 -travel lanes and detached sidewalk
for a portion of the frontage. Within the influence area of the intersection there is vertical curb
and gutter, and a 46 -foot street section. There is 50 -feet of right-of-way for McMillan Road.
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.
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 Arterial Road is designated in the
MSM as a Residential Arterial with 3 -lanes and on -street bike lanes, a 46 -foot street section
within 74 -feet of right-of-way.
4 Paramount Southeast /MPP15-0002
Street Section and Right -of Way Width Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 states
that the standard 3 -lane street section shall be 46 -feet (back -of -curb to back -of -curb) within 70
feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates a single travel lane in each direction,
a continuous center left -turn lane, and bike lanes.
Right -of -Way Dedication: District Policy 7205.2 states that The District will provide
compensation for additional right-of-way dedicated beyond the existing right-of-way along
arterials listed as impact fee eligible in the adopted Capital Improvements Plan using available
impact fee revenue in the Impact Fee Service Area.
No compensation will be provided for right-of-way on an arterial that is not listed as impact fee
eligible in the Capital Improvements Plan.
The District may acquire additional right-of-way beyond the site -related needs to preserve a
corridor for future capacity improvements, as provided in Section 7300.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires a concrete sidewalk 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.
Frontage Improvements Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer shall
widen the pavement to a minimum of 17 -feet from centerline plus a 3 -foot wide gravel
shoulder adjacent to the entire site. Curb, gutter and additional pavement widening may be
required (See Section 7205.5.5).
Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to
existing streets adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These improvements
are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk construction
or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused
driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps;
pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct detached sidewalk on McMillan
Road; and is proposing to widen the pavement and construct vertical curb and gutter.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: To accommodate future widening, the applicant
should dedicate 3 -feet of additional right-of-way on McMillan Road; and provide a sidewalk
easement for the detached sidewalk. The applicant should also widen the pavement to a
minimum of 17 -feet from centerline plus a 3 -foot wide gravel shoulder. If there are any
deficiencies to existing facilities, the applicant should be required to improve per the Minor
Improvements Policy. If the applicant chooses to construct vertical curb and gutter, then
McMillan Road should be improved to one-half of a 46 -foot street section.
5. Studio Drive (proposed)
a. Existing Conditions: Studio Drive is proposed with this application, and is designated on the
Master Street Map as a residential collector.
b. Policy:
6 Paramount Southeast /MPP15-0002
Collector Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all collector frontages adjacent to the site or internal to the development as required
below, regardless of whether access is taken to all of the adjacent streets.
Master Street Map and Typologies Policy: District policy 7206.5 states that if the collector
street is designated with a typology on the Master Street Map, that typology shall be
considered for the required street improvements. If there is no typology listed in the Master
Street Map, then standard street sections shall serve as the default.
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway
features required through development. A new collector roadway was identified on the MSM
with the street typology of Residential Collector. The new collector roadway should intersect
McMillan Road at the west property line, and Meridian Road at the north property line. The
Residential Collector typology as depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide recommends a
3 -lane roadway with bike lanes, and on street parking, a 46 -foot street section within 70 -feet of
right-of-way.
Street Section and Right -of -Way Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard
right-of-way width for collector streets shall typically be 50 to 70 -feet, depending on the
location and width of the sidewalk and the location and use of the roadway. The right-of-way
width may be reduced, with District approval, if the sidewalk is located within an easement; in
which case the District will require a minimum right-of-way width that extends 2 -feet behind
the back -of -curb on each side.
The standard street section shall be 46 -feet (back -of -curb to back -of -curb). This width typically
accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, a continuous center left -turn lane, and
bike lanes.
Residential Collector Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard street section
for a collector in a residential area shall be 36 -feet (back -of -curb to back -of -curb). The District
will consider a 33 -foot or 29 -foot street section with written fire department approval and
taking into consideration the needs of the adjacent land use, the projected volumes, the need
for bicycle lanes, and on -street parking.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy 7206.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalks at least 5 -feet wide to
be constructed on both sides of all collector 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.
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 ACRD.
• 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.
6 Paramount Southeast /MPP15-0002
• 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 for a 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 Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Studio Drive as a 42 -foot street
section with vertical curb, gutter and 7 -foot wide attached sidewalk within 56 -feet of right-of-
way; with landscape medians in certain locations.
Staff Comments/Recommendations: The center turn lane is only needed on Studio Drive at
the intersections with Meridian Road, McMillan Road; and Oscar Avenue. Bike lanes should
be constructed the entire length, and parking should be restricted the entire length. Staff
recommends that the roadway be constructed as a 46 -foot street section to accommodate the
turn lanes, 2-thru lanes and bike lanes; and that the roadway then narrow to a 36 -foot street
section to accommodate 2-thru lanes and bike lanes. Vertical curb and gutter is required, and
either a 5 -foot wide detached sidewalk or a 7 -foot wide attached sidewalk. Right-of-way
should be dedicated to extend to 2 -feet beyond the back of sidewalk. At the north property
line, the right-of-way for Studio Drive should extend to the north property line to provide
access to that parcel when it develops. The street should be signed for. "NO PARKING". .
If medians are installed in the road, there should be a minimum of 20'feet of pavement on
each side of the median; the median should be platted as right-of-way owned by ACRD; 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; the
Developer or Homeowners Association shall apply for a 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.
6. Motion Picture Drive/Oscar Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: There are no public streets constructed internal to 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.
7 Paramount Southeast /MPP15-0002
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.
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
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.
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 for a 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 Motion Picture Drive and
Oscar Avenue as 29 -foot street sections. The roadways will serve the apartment complex and
the commercial lots.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Staff recommends that the applicant construct these
two roadways as local/commercial streets; with a 36 -foot street section, vertical curb, gutter
and 5 -foot wide attached concrete sidewalk, within 50 -feet of right-of-way.
7. Roadway Offsets
a. Existing Conditions: Some of the approaches were constructed with the Meridian/McMillan
intersection project.
b. Policy:
8 Paramount Southeast /MPP15-0002
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).
Collector Offset Policy: District policy 7205.4.2 states that the optimum spacing for new
signalized collector roadways intersecting minor arterials is one half -mile.
Local Offset Policy: District policy 7206.4.5, requires local roadways to align or offset a
minimum of 330 -feet from a collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
District policy 7207.4.2, requires local roadways to align or provide a minimum offset of 125 -
feet from any other street (measured centerline to centerline).
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing that Studio Drive intersect McMillan Road,
located 750 -feet e/o Summit Way and 1,300 -feet west of Meridian Road; and that Studio Drive
intersect Meridian Road located 600 -feet south of Quintessa Drive and 1,300 -feet north of
McMillan Road. The applicant is proposing that Motion Picture Drive intersect McMillan Road
located 760 -feet west of Meridian Road. The applicant is proposing that Motion Picture Drive
intersect Meridian Road located 680 -feet north of McMillan Road. The applicant is proposing
that Oscar Avenue intersect Studio Drive 340 -feet west of Meridian Road.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the proposed street
layout. Not all of the intersection locations meet current ACHD policy; but they did meet policy
when the approaches were constructed with the intersection project. The applicant's layout
will provide a good split of the vehicular traffic in all directions.
8. Driveways
8.1 Meridian Road & McMillan Road
a. Existing Conditions: Curb returns were approved and constructed with the widening and
signalization of the Meridian/McMillan intersection, in accordance with the policies in effect at
that time.
b. Policy
Access Points Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with
development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section
and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is
being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated
and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops.
Access Policy: District policy 7205.4.6 states that direct access to minor arterials is typically
prohibited. If a property has frontage on more than one street, access shall be taken from the
street having the lesser functional classification. If it is necessary to take access to the higher
classified street due to a lack of frontage, the minimum allowable spacing shall be based on
Table la under District policy 7205.4.6, unless a waiver for the access point has been
approved by the District Commission.
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7205.4.5 requires driveways located on minor
arterial roadways from a signalized intersection with a single left turn lane shall be located a
minimum of 330 -feet from the nearest intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway and a
minimum of 660 -feet from the intersection for a full -movement driveway.
Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7205.4.8 restricts high-volume driveways (100 VTD or
more) to a maximum width of 36 -feet and low-volume driveways (less than 100 VTD) to a
maximum width of 30 -feet. Curb return type driveways with 30 -foot radii will be required for
9 Paramount Southeast /MPP15-0002
high-volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15 -foot radii
will be required for low-volume driveways with less than 100 VTD.
Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance
problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy,
7205.4.8, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30 -

195-- SCHOOL DISTRICT

City of Meridian
City Clerk's Office, Attn: Machelle Hill
33 East Broadway Avenue
Meridian, ID 83642
Dear Planners:
West Ada School District (aka Joint School District No. 2) has experienced phenomenal student growth in
the last ten years. Nearly every high school, middle school, and elementary school throughout the
district is operating at or over capacity. Approval of the Paramount Southeast Subdivision will have a
very significant impact on school enrollments at the elementary, middle school and high school levels in
West Ada School District. Based on U.S. census data, we can predict that these homes, when
completed, will house 224 school aged children.
West Ada School District supports economic growth. However, growth fosters the need for additional
school capacity. Revenue support from developers of new residential subdivisions for the purchase of
the school sites necessary to serve the proposed subdivision is required. West Ada School District
estimates the revenue required for the purchase of future school sites is $830.00 per new home
constructed. The approval of Paramount Southeast Subdivision will create the need for $232.400 in
revenue to purchase the school sites this subdivision will require. In lieu of these sources of revenue,
the district will accept the donation of land appropriate for a school site. Such a site would need water
and sewer service available, and prior to the commencement of construction, the district will need to
pass a bond issue for the construction of schools.
Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school as it may be necessary to bus
students to available classrooms across the district. We ask that you require the developer to provide
safe walkways, bike baths and safe pedestrian access for our students. School capacity is addressed in
Idaho code 67-6508. Joint School District No. 2 is currently operating beyond capacity. Future
development wil continue to have an impact on the district's capacity.

n Horning Ph.D.
