C. Findings for Consideration
1. South Meridian Transportation Plan
The South Meridian Transportation Plan (SMTP) is a long range planning tool used to identify
future roadway, intersection, and corridor needs in the South Meridian Area. Providing a
framework for future roadway improvements based on the land use designations. The plan was
created in collaboration with the City of Meridian and was adopted by the ACHD Commission in
September of 2009. The SMTP recommends preserving this segment of Victory Road as a 3-
lane arterial road.
2. Victory Road
a. Existing Conditions: Victory Road is improved with 2-travel lanes, 24-feet of pavement, and
no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 55-feet of right-of-way for Victory Road
(30-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; including widening the pavement to a minimum of 17-feet from
centerline plus a 3-foot wide gravel shoulder adjacent to the entire site.
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 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 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-
4 Kentucky Villas/ MPP15-0012/ PP15-009
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 Victory Road is designated in the
MSM as a Residential Arterial with 3-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 49-foot street section
within 74-feet of right-of-way.
The intersection of Victory Road and Stoddard Road is designated in the MSM for a future
single-lane roundabout.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a 5-foot wide meandering
concrete sidewalk located approximately 36-feet from centerline along Victory Road abutting
the site. The applicant is proposing to close the existing driveway onto Victory Road with 5-
foot wide sidewalk.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal does not meet District
Master Street Map policy for right-of-way dedication for the planned roundabout at the
intersection of Victory Road/Stoddard Road. The applicant should be required to dedicate
approximately 3,200 square feet in the northeast corner of the site, which consists of
approximately 60-feet along the east property line and 95-feet along the north property line
from the northeast corner in a rectangular area (shown blow in yellow).
Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s proposal to construct 5-foot wide sidewalk
approximately 36-feet from centerline along Victory Road; including closing the existing
driveway with 5-foot wide sidewalk, as it meets the intent of the MSM. The applicant should
be required to provide permanent right-of-way easements for the sidewalk 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.
3. Kentucky Way
a. Existing Conditions: Kentucky Way is improved with 2-travel lanes, 28-feet of pavement
with 3-foot wide shoulders, 5-foot wide detached sidewalk, and no curb, or gutter abutting the
site. There is 60-feet of right-of-way for Kentucky Way (30-feet from centerline). This street
section was approved by ACHD with the original development; and the sidewalk was required
by ACHD with the 2014 preliminary plat approval of Revolution Ridge.
5 Kentucky Villas/ MPP15-0012/ PP15-009
b. Policy:
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.
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.
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.
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. This segment of Kentucky Way is designated in the
MSM as a Residential Collector with 2-lanes, on-street bike lanes, and parking on both sides,
a 47-foot street section within 69-feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is requesting a waiver from constructing curb and gutter
along Kentucky Way as 5-foot wide sidewalk exists, and the construction of curb, gutter or
pavement widening will not improve the condition or functional operation of Kentucky Way.
6 Kentucky Villas/ MPP15-0012/ PP15-009
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Staff is recommending a waiver of policy to not
require curb, gutter or pavement widening due to the fact that constructing curb and gutter
does not improve the condition and functional operation of Kentucky Way and there is existing
5-foot wide sidewalk for pedestrians on Kentucky Way. Additional pavement width for parking
is not necessary or recommended along this segment of the roadway. The existing road
section with the existing sidewalk meets the intent of the policy and the MSM.
4. Roadway Offsets
a. Existing Conditions: There is an existing driveway approach onto Kentucky Way from the
site.
b. Policy:
Local Offset Policy: 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 to construct a private road onto Kentucky
Way using the existing driveway approach located approximately 590-feet south of Victory
Road and 300-feet north of Riodosa Drive.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal meets District policy and
should be approved, as proposed.
5. Private Roads
a. Private Road Policy: District policy 7212.1 states that the lead land use agencies in Ada
County establish the requirements for private streets. The District retains authority and will
review the proposed intersection of a private and public street for compliance with District
intersection policies and standards. The private road should have the following requirements:
• Designed to discourage through traffic between two public streets,
• Graded to drain away from the public street intersection, and
• If a private road is gated, the gate or keypad (if applicable) shall be located a minimum of
50-feet from the near edge of the intersection and a turnaround shall be provided.
b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a private road onto Kentucky
Way.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: If the City of Meridian approves the private road, the
applicant shall be required to pave the private roadway a minimum of 20 to 24-feet wide and at
least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of all public streets and install pavement
tapers with 15-foot curb radii abutting the existing roadway edge. If private roads are not
approved by the City of Meridian, the applicant will be required to revise and resubmit the
preliminary plat to provide public standard local streets in these locations.
Street name and stop signs are required for the private road. The signs may be ordered
through the District. Verification of the correct, approved name of the road is required.
ACHD does not make any assurances that the private road, which is a part of this application,
will be accepted as a public road if such a request is made in the future. Substantial redesign
and reconstruction costs may be necessary in order to qualify this road for public ownership and
maintenance.
The following requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the roadway to
ACHD:
• Dedicate a minimum of 50-feet of right-of-way for the road.
• Construct the roadway to the minimum ACHD requirements.
• Construct a stub street to the surrounding parcels.

6. Storm Drain Facility
Existing Conditions: There is an existing storm drainage facility located on the site within an
existing ACHD storm drain easement. ACHD staff has met with the developer to discuss
improvements to the facility including replacing an existing pipe at the northwest corner, cleaning
out the facility and reconstructing to meet current conditions. The applicant will reconstruct the
pond and replace the pipe crossing under Victory Road. ACHD will reimburse the applicant for
the pipe crossing and repair to Victory Road. The applicant and staff are in agreement regarding
responsibilities of the parties and with the improvements required. The applicant will be required
to enter into a Cooperative Development Agreement with ACHD for the Victory Road pipe
crossing replacement.
7. Tree Planters

c. The request for reconsideration must be supported by written documentation setting
forth new facts and information not presented at the earlier meeting, or a changed
situation that has developed since the taking of the earlier vote, or information
establishing an error of fact or law in the earlier action. The request may also be
supported by oral testimony at the meeting.
d. If a motion to reconsider passes, the effect is the original matter is in the exact position it
occupied the moment before it was voted on originally. It will normally be returned to
ACHD staff for further review. The Commission may set the date of the meeting at
which the matter is to be returned. The Commission shall only take action on the
original matter at a meeting where the agenda notice so provides.
e. At the meeting where the original matter is again on the agenda for Commission action,
interested persons and ACHD staff may present such written and oral testimony as the
President of the Commission determines to be appropriate, and the Commission may
take any action the majority of the Commission deems advisable.
f. If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to
cover administrative costs, as established by the Commission.
