A. Findings of Fact
1. Driveways
a. Policy:
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 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-feet into the site beyond the edge of
pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers in accordance with Table 2
under District Policy 7205.4.8.
b. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a paved temporary
driveway off the end of Silverstone Way to provide access to the site.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal to construct a
paved temporary driveway off the terminus of Silverstone Way should be approved
as proposed. The driveway is necessary to provide access to the proposed ICCU
corporate office buidilng prior to the development of the Eagle View Landing
Subdivision. With the development of the Eagle View Landing Subdivision
Silverstone Way will be terminated in a mini-roundabout and the temporary
driveway will be removed. The temporary driveway is restricted to a maximum
width of 36-feet and should be paved its full width at least 30-feet into the site

2. Silverstone Way/Overland Road Signal
a. History: The signal at the Silverstone Way (south side)/Overland Road intersection was
installed as a part of the Silverstone Corporate Center Development. Sundance
Investments, the developer of Silverstone Corporate Center (south side of Overland
Road) paid for all costs associated with the signal. ACHD agreed to reimburse the
developer for ½ of the cost of the signal as parcels on the north side of Overland Road
developed. The total cost of the signal was $120,000. One half of the costs will be
appropriated to each land owner on the north side, as they develop; or if other
agreements are in place, then Sundance Investments will need to notify ACHD of a
different alternative or mechanism to reimburse the costs.
b. Site Specific Condition: The total acreage that could access the signal is 80.77 acres,
of which the ICCU parcel is 51.59 acres. ICCU is required to reimburse 64% of ½ of the

prior to plans acceptance and issuance of a building permit.
