Lead Agency: City of Meridian Site address: 14120 W. Jasmine Ln. Commission Approval: May 22, 2019 Applicant: Laren Bailey Devco Development LLC 4824 E. Fairview Ave. Boise, ID 83706 Staff Contact: Austin Miller Phone: (208) 387-6335 E-mail: amiller@achdidaho.org A. Findings of Fact 1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting annexation and zoning, comprehensive plan map amendment and preliminary plat approval for Delano Subdivision consisting of 85 single- family dwelling lots, 1 lot designated for a future multi-family development and 12 common lots. Of the 15.2-acres site, 11.6-acres are proposed to be zoned R-15 with the remaining 3.6-acres proposed as R-40. The proposed use is consistent with the City of Meridian’s comprehensive plan designation of Mixed Use Regional. The comprehensive plan amendment is to address a 4.1-acre lot that is currently in the City of Boise’s area of influence. This parcel is being included in the City of Meridian’s area of influence at the same designation as the surrounding parcels as part of this project. 2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: Direction Land Use Zoning North Rural to Urban Transition District & Medium Low-Density Residential District (Zebulon Heights Subdivision) RUT & R-4 South General Retail & Service Commercial District (Brickyard Subdivision) C-G East Open Land District A-1 West Rural to Urban Transition District & Medium Low-Density Residential District (Champion Park Subdivision) RUT & R-8 3. Site History: ACHD has not previously reviewed this site for a development application. 2 Delano Subdivision / MPP19-0011 / H-2019-0027 4. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site. 5. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0.53 centerline miles of new public road. 6. 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. The impact fee assessment will not be released until the civil plans are approved by ACHD. 7. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) / Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP): • Locust Grove Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 5-lanes from Fairview Avenue to McMillan Road between 2021 and 2025. • The intersection of Locust Grove Road and Ustick Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 6-lanes on the north leg, 7-lanes on the south, 6-lanes east, and 5-lanes on the west leg, and signalized between 2021 and 2025. B. Traffic Findings for Consideration 1. Trip Generation: The following table includes the estimated vehicle trip generation estimates for this development, based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 10th edition. 2. Condition of Area Roadways Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per hour (VPH) ** ACHD does not set level of service thresholds for State Highways. * Acceptable level of service for a five-lane principal arterial is “E” (1,780 VPH). * Acceptable level of service for a two-lane collector is “D” (425 VPH). 3. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT) Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD’s most current traffic counts. • The average daily traffic count for Centrepoint Way north of Ustick Road was 1,961 on March 22, 2017. Land Use Units/Dwellings Trips Per Day PM Peak Hour Trips Single Family Dwellings 85 802 85 Multi-Family Dwellings (conceptual – future application) 96 522 42 Roadway Frontage Functional Classification PM Peak Hour Traffic Count PM Peak Hour Level of Service **State Highway 55 Eagle Road None Principal Arterial 1,966 N/A Ustick Road None Principal Arterial 1,377 Better than “E” Centrepoint Way 50-feet Collector 139 Better than “D” Wainwright Drive None Collector 125 Better than “D” Dashwood Place 50-feet Local N/A N/A 3 Delano Subdivision / MPP19-0011 / H-2019-0027 • The average daily traffic count for Wainwright Drive east of Rosepoint Avenue was 918 on March 20, 2019. C. Findings for Consideration 1. Collector Road Policies – Development Function: The primary function of a collector is to intercept traffic from the local street system and carry that traffic to the nearest arterial. A secondary function is to service adjacent property. Access will be limited or controlled. Collectors may also be designated as bicycle and bus routes. Continuation of Streets: 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. Level of Service (LOS): The level of services for collector streets is established within the District’s Traffic Impact Study Policy. The acceptable LOS for a collector is “D” (425 vehicles per hour (vph)). Front-On Housing in a Residential Area: New collector roadways in residential areas with front- on housing shall be limited to a maximum ADT of 3,000. Existing collector roadways in residential areas with front-on housing should not exceed 5,000 ADT. In some instances a lower ADT for existing collectors in residential areas may be applied due to items such as grades, curves, etc… 2. Local Street Policies - Development Function: The primary function of a local street is to serve adjacent property. Adjacent property will usually have unrestricted access to the street and ADT will typically be less than 2,000. Access to local streets is generally unrestricted, except near intersections. Stub Streets: 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 drain facilities. Average Daily Traffic (ADT): ADT on new and existing local streets should typically be less than 2,000. This ADT applies to both existing and new streets. For new streets that are stubbed to connect to adjacent land that is not fully developed, the allowable ADT for the new street will typically be no more than 1,000 ADT, to accommodate future additional traffic from the adjacent land, depending on the location and type of the stub street and the location and type size of the adjacent undeveloped land. When stub streets are connected and properties fully developed, local streets should not exceed 2,000 ADT. In developed areas where streets already exceed 2,000 ADT or are close to exceeding 2,000 ADT, the Commission may grant approval to exceed the 2,000 ADT based on existing zoning of undeveloped properties or infill development. The Commission may also consider the need for additional roadway improvements or traffic calming to mitigate the additional traffic if necessary. The ADTs listed above are desirable planning thresholds for local streets, not roadway capacities. Actual roadway capacities are much higher than the planning thresholds. Maximum Traffic on One Access: If a proposed development only has one access to a public street that is a local street, or if it proposes to extend public streets from existing development with only one local street access to the public street system, the maximum forecast ADT to be allowed at any point on the local street access is 1,000 and is subject to fire department requirements for the provisions of a secondary access. 3. Wainwright Drive This site does not have frontage on Wainwright Drive. Wainwright Drive is designated in the Master Street Map as a residential collector roadway and is improved as a 36-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and a combination of 5-foot detached and 7-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk from Rosepoint Avenue east to Eagle Road. 4 Delano Subdivision / MPP19-0011 / H-2019-0027 There is no front-on housing along Wainwright Drive east of Rosepoint Avenue. A traffic signal was installed in 2013 at the intersection of Wainwright Drive and Eagle Road, providing one travel lane onto Wainwright Drive from Eagle Road and two travel lanes onto Eagle Road from Wainwright Drive (through/left and a designated right turn lane). Wainwright Drive currently operates within acceptable level of service planning thresholds. Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 10th edition, Wainwright Drive west of Eagle Road is projected to operate within acceptable level of service planning thresholds through all phases of this development. In March 2019, ACHD staff conducted a speed analysis of Wainwright Drive east of Rosepoint Avenue as well as Camas Creek Way south of McMillan Road. Neither street segment studied met District criteria to require traffic calming. 4. Centrepoint Way a. Existing Conditions: Centrepoint Way does not exist internal to the site. South of the site Centrepoint Way is improved with 2-travel lanes, a 40-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot wide attached sidewalk. There is 50-feet of right-of-way for Centrepoint Way (25-feet from centerline). 5 Delano Subdivision / MPP19-0011 / H-2019-0027 Centrepoint Way south of the site is fully developed. A commercial shopping center exists on the east side with high density residential along the west side of the street. 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. 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. Speed Control and Traffic Calming Policy: District policy 7206.3.8 states that collector street should be designed to discourage speeds above 35 MPH, and in a residential area collector streets should be designed to discourage speeds above 30 MPH. The design of collector street systems should discourage excessive speeds by using passive design elements. If the design or layout of a development is anticipated to necessitate future traffic calming implementation by the District, then the District will require changes to the layout and/or the addition of passive design elements such as horizontal curves, bulb-outs, chokers, etc. The District will also consider texture changes to the roadway surface (i.e. stamped concrete) as a passive design element. These alternative methods may require a maintenance and/or license agreement. 6 Delano Subdivision / MPP19-0011 / H-2019-0027 Speed Control and Traffic Calming Policy: District policy 7207.3.7 states that the design of local street systems should discourage excessive speeds by using passive design elements. If the design or layout of a development is anticipated to necessitate future traffic calming implementation by the District, then the District will require changes to the layout and/or the addition of passive design elements such as horizontal curves, bulb-outs, chokers, etc. The District will also consider texture changes to the roadway surface (i.e. stamped concret e) as a passive design element. These alternative methods may require maintenance and/or license agreement. 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 Collector Road is designated in the MSM as a Commercial Collector with 2-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 36-foot street section within 54-feet of right-of-way. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to extend Centrepoint Way into the site as a 36-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk. The applicant is proposing to dedicate 40-feet of right-of-way with two 13-foot wide sidewalk easements, extending 2-feet past the back of sidewalk. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal meets District policy and should be approved as proposed. With the plat for the single family units in phases 1 and 2 Centrepoint Way should be extended to Jasmine Street. When the multi-family parcel is developed, Centrepoint Way should be extended to the northern property line of that parcel. The applicant should be required to sign Centrepoint Way for NO PARKING on both sides. In November 2005, Lot 7 Block 2 of Zebulon Heights Subdivision was deeded to ACHD as unimproved right-of-way to provide for the future connection of Centrepoint Way north to intersect Wainwright Drive, as depicted in the MSM. Upon the development of parcel R458250100 north of this site, that developer will be required to construct Centrepoint Way north to intersect Wainwright Drive, to complete the north-south collector from Ustick Road to Wainwright Drive. The applicant should be required to construct bulb-outs on Centrepoint Way at the intersection of Jasmine Street and the driveway into the future multi-family development. A minimum of 24-feet should be provided from back-of-curb to back- of -curb. 5. Stub Streets a. Existing Conditions: Centrepoint Way, a collector, stubs to the southern property line of the site. Dashwood Place, a local street, stubs to the northern property line of the site. 7 Delano Subdivision / MPP19-0011 / H-2019-0027 b. Policy: Stub Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.4 and 7207.2.4 state 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 7206.2.5.4 and 7207.2.5.4, 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 IS A DESIGNATED COLLECTOR ROADWAY. THIS STREET WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE.” In addition, stub streets must meet the following conditions: • 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 7206.2.4 (collector) 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 a non-buildable lot until the street is extended. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to extend Centrepoint Way and Dashwood Place into the site, per District policy. The applicant is proposing to stub Centrepoint Way to the northern property line. The applicant is proposing to stub Jasmine Street to the southwest corner of the site. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal to extend and construct stub streets meets District policy and should be approved. The applicant’s proposed phasing includes the extension of Dashwood Place and Centrepoint Way internal to the site as part of phase 1. If Dashwood Place and Centrepoint Way are constructed prior to the extension of Centrepoint Way to Wainwright Drive, the new local streets in this development, and the existing Dashwood Place, will likely function as the de facto collector roadway through this neighborhood, that connects to Wainwright Drive. 8 Delano Subdivision / MPP19-0011 / H-2019-0027 District policy states that average daily traffic on new and existing local streets should typically be less than 2,000 ADT. For new streets that are stubbed to connect to adjacent land that is not fully developed, the allowable ADT for the new street will typically be no more than 1,000 ADT, to accommodate future additional traffic from the adjacent land, depending on the location and type of the stub street and the location and type size of the adjacent undeveloped land. When stub streets are connected and properties fully developed, local streets should not exceed 2,000 ADT. There are 8 homes on Dashwood Place which generate approximately 76 trips per day. The proposed single family dwellings are estimated to generate 802 vehicle trips per day. Based on these estimates, Dashwood Place will have an ADT of less than 1,000. To eliminate cut-through traffic from Centrepoint Way south of the site to Wainwright Drive north of the site; and to keep average daily traffic on Dashwood Place to less than 1,000 vehicle trips per day, staff recommends that the applicant temporarily not connect Jasmine Street to Centrepoint Way as part of this project, thus separating the single-family dwelling units north of the site from the apartments/high density south of the site. The connection of Jasmine Street to Centrepoint Way should be constructed when Centrepoint Way is connected to Wainwright Drive to complete the north-south collector, or in 10 years, whichever comes first. The applicant should be required to dedicate 36-feet of right-of-way and a sidewalk easement, consistent with the remainder of Jasmine Street to the west, but until such time that the connection is made to Centrepoint Way, the easterly segment (approximately 8-feet) will be classified as unopened/unmaintained right-of-way. The applicant should be required to construct 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Jasmine Street to Centrepoint Way, as proposed, to provide for pedestrian access from the site to Centrepoint Way prior to a vehicular connection. 9 Delano Subdivision / MPP19-0011 / H-2019-0027 The applicant should be required to provide a road trust to ACHD (amount to be determined at plan review) to construct the connection of Jasmine Street to Centrepoint Way. The applicant should be required gate the unopened/unmaintained right-of-way for the future connection of Jasmine Street as required by the Meridian Fire Department to allow for emergency services but prevent public vehicular access. The applicant should be required to enter into a license agreement with ACHD for all improvements within the unopened right-of- way, stating that the applicant or HOA is responsible for the maintenance of the temporary gate and any surface improvements (pavement) required by emergency services to access the site. The applicant has proposed to construct a temporary hammerhead type turnaround for the temporary stub of Jasmine Street to Centrepoint Way, located on a proposed common lot. The applicant should be required to pave the turnaround and provide fire department approval of the alternative turnaround design. 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 a non-buildable lot until the street is extended. The applicant should be required to construct a temporary cul-de-sac turnaround at the stub of Centrepoint Way. 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. Staff recommends the applicant not be required to construct a temporary turnaround at the stub of Jasmine Street to the west, as the stub street is less than 150-feet in length. 6. Internal Local Streets a. Existing Conditions: No local streets exist internal to the site. b. Policy: Reduced Urban Local Street—27-foot Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District Policy 7207.5.2 states that the width of a reduced urban local street shall be 27-feet (back-of- curb to back-of-curb) with curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall typically be within 41-feet of right-of-way. Unless approved in writing by the land use agency, this street section is not allowed by the City of Kuna and City of Star. In some cases this street width may not accommodate new utilities. A 29-foot street section within 43-feet of right-of-way may be constructed in lieu of a 27-foot street section if the applicant demonstrates that the additional roadway width is necessary to extend the utilities. Although some parking is allowed by the following subsections, the District will further restrict parking on a reduced width street if curves or other physical features cause problems, if actual emergency response experience indicates that emergency vehicles may not be able to provide service, or if other safety concerns arise. Design Condition #1: Parking is allowed on one side of a reduced width street when all of the following criteria are met: • The street is in a residential area. • The developer shall provide written approval from the appropriate fire department or emergency response unit in the jurisdiction. • The developer shall install ―NO PARKING‖ signs on one side of the street, as specified by the District and as specified by the appropriate fire department. • This street section shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall typically be constructed within 41-feet of right-of-way. • Traffic volumes on the street shall not exceed 1,000 vehicle trips per day. There shall be no possibility that another street may be connected to it in a manner that would allow more than 1,000 vehicle trips per day. 10 Delano Subdivision / MPP19-0011 / H-2019-0027 Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7207.5.7 states that five-foot wide concrete sidewalk is required on both sides of all local streets, 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. 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. 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 Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct internal local streets as 27-foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk (varying between attached and detached). The applicant is proposing to dedicate right-of-way extending 2-feet past the back of sidewalk where attached sidewalk is constructed, and 2-feet past the back of curb with a sidewalk easement extending 2-feet past the back of sidewalk where detached sidewalk is constructed. The applicant is proposing to construct Dashwood Avenue internal to the site with two 21-foot wide travel lanes, a 10-foot wide landscape median, vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk. The applicant is proposing to dedicate 56-feet of right-of-way with a sidewalk easement extending 2-feet past the back of sidewalk. 11 Delano Subdivision / MPP19-0011 / H-2019-0027 d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal meets District policy and should be approved as proposed. The applicant should be required to install NO PARKING signs on one side of the internal local streets. Due to the proposed density, minimal on-street parking will be provided without blocking access to residences. Meridian Fire Department has expressed concern about a lack of visitor parking being provided. If additional guest parking is required by the City, access should be from the local street (not Centrepoint Way). The applicant should provide written approval for the reduced street section from the appropriate fire district. The proposed median should be platted as ACHD right-of-way. The Developer or Homeowners Association shall apply for a license agreement if landscaping is to be placed within the median. The proposed intersection of Jasmine Street and Centrepoint Way does not meet District sight distance standards as 190-feet of unobstructed sight lines are provided and should not be approved as proposed. The applicant should be required to coordinate with design review staff to ensure adequate unobstructed sight lines from the Jasmine Street and Centrepoint Way intersection are provided. 7. Driveways 7.1 Centrepoint Way a. Existing Conditions: No public streets exist internal to the site. A private drive aisle exists on Centrepoint Way 91-feet south of the southern property line b. Policy: Access 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. District Policy 7206.1 states that the primary function of a collector is to intercept traffic from the local street system and carry that traffic to the nearest arterial. A secondary function is to service adjacent property. Access will be limited or controlled. Collectors may also be designated at bicycle and bus routes. Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7206.4.4 requires driveways located on collector roadways near a STOP controlled intersection to be located outside of the area of influence; OR a minimum of 150-feet from the intersection, whichever is greater. Dimensions shall be measured from the centerline of the intersection to the centerline of the driveway. Successive Driveways: District policy 7206.4.5 Table 1, requires driveways located on collector roadways with a speed limit of 25 MPH and daily traffic volumes greater than 100 VTD to align or offset a minimum of 245-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7206.4.6 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 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, 7206.4.6, 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 in accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7206.4.6. 12 Delano Subdivision / MPP19-0011 / H-2019-0027 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. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Driveway locations for the parcel on the east side of Centrepoint Way will be reviewed when ACHD receives a development application. 8. 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. 9. Landscaping Landscaping Policy: A license agreement is required for all landscaping proposed within ACHD 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. 10. Other Access Centrepoint Way is classified as a collector roadway. Other than the access specifically approved with this application, direct lot access is prohibited to this roadway and should be noted on the final plat. D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval 1. Extend Centrepoint Way into the site as a 36-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk. Dedicate 40-feet of right-of-way with two 13-foot wide sidewalk easements, extending 2-feet past the back of sidewalk for Centrepoint Way. 2. Extend Centrepoint Way to Jasmine Street with the plat for the single family units in phases 1 and 2. When the multi-family parcel is developed, extend Centrepoint Way to the northern property line of that parcel. 3. Sign Centrepoint Way for NO PARKING on both sides. 4. Construct bulb-outs on Centrepoint Way at the intersection of Jasmine Street and the driveway into the future multi-family development. A minimum of 24-feet should be provided from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. 5. Stub Centrepoint W ay to the northern property line. Construct a temporary cul-de-sac turnaround at the stub of Centrepoint Way. The temporary cul-de-sac shall be paved and shall be the dimensional requirements of a standard cul-de-sac.
