Melissa,
I am writing you to follow up on your (Alpine Point Neighbors) request to have a joint meeting with ACHD to
discuss our Delano Project. I had a conversation with both Austin Miller and his supervisor Mindy Wallace about your
request. They did not feel that a meeting would be appropriate as the Commission had already ruled on our application.
They did however provide a clarification letter to the City of Meridian regarding the traffic counts (current and
projected) for CenterPoint Way and their road connectivity policy. I have attached their letter for your review. If you and
your neighbors would like to have a meeting to discuss this I am more than willing to meet with you again. Please pass
this onto your neighbors and HOA Board. Thank you

Delano Subdivision
On May 22, 2019, the Ada County Highway District Commission reviewed and approved the
preliminary plat application Delano Subdivision. Since ACHD’s approval of the project neighboring
property owners have raised concerns regarding the level of service of Centrepoint Way and the
connectivity of public streets. Both of these issues are addressed in ACHD’s staff report (Table 2,
pg. 2 and pg. 6), however, to avoid confusion the following clarifications are provided.
Level of Service – Centerpointe Way: There has been some confusion regarding the current and
future level of service for Centerpointe Way. As reported in Table 2, of the staff report,
Centerpointe Way currently operates at an acceptable level of service, with 139 vehicle trips in the
PM peak hour at 30% of its available capacity. At buildout of the Delano Subdivision and the
Brickyard Subdivision, located to the south, Centrepoint Way is still anticipated to operate at an
acceptable level of service with 233 vehicle trips in the PM peak hour; the roadway will be at 55% of
its available capacity. Centerpointe Way is not anticipated to exceed ACHD’s acceptable level of
service planning threshold.
Public Street Connectivity: ACHD and the City of Meridian both have policies requiring the
extension of stub streets and interconnectivity between subdivisions. The preliminary plat
application approved by ACHD, provides public street connectivity consistent with ACHD policies.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (208) 387-6335.
