A. Findings of Fact
1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting approval for annexation with rezone from
RUT(Rural-Urban Transition)to R-8(Medium-Density Residential)and a preliminary plat consisting
of 28 residential lots and 5 common lots on 7.4 acres. There is 1 existing home that is proposed to
remain until Phase 2 is developed.
The applicant's proposal for R-8 zoning is consistent with the City of Meridian's comprehensive plan
which calls for medium-density residential uses for this site.
2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area:
Direction I Land Use Zoning
North Medium-Density Residential R-8
South Medium-Low Density Residential R-4
East Rural-Urban Transition RUT
West Medium-Density Residential R-8
3. Site History: ACHD has not previously reviewed this site for a development application.
4. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site.
1 Teakwood Place/ MPP20-0004/
H-2020-0006
5. Pathway Crossings: United States Access Board R304.5.1.2 Shared Use Paths. In shared use
paths, the width of curb ramps runs and blended transitions shall be equal to the width of the shared
use path.
AASHTO's Guidelines for the Development of Bicycle Facilities 5.3.5 Other Intersection
Treatments: The opening of a shared use path at the roadway should be at least the same width
as the shared use path itself. If a curb ramp is provided, the ramp should be the full width of the
path, not including any flared sides if utilized. . . . Detectable warnings should be placed across the
full width of the ramp.
FHWA's "Designing Sidewalks and Trails for Access" (1999) reflected common ADA-related
concepts: Chapter 6, Page 16-6: The width of the ramp should be at least as wide as the average
width of the trail to improve safety for users who will be traveling at various speeds. In addition, the
overall width of the trail should be increased, so the curb ramp can be slightly offset to the side.
The increased width reduces conflict at the intersection by providing more space for users at the
bottom of the ramp.
6. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0.13 centerline miles of new public
road.
7. 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.
8. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/ Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP):
• Locust Grove Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be widened to 5-lanes from Victory Road to
Overland Road in 2022 which will include the reconstruction/widening of Bridge #2087.
• Eagle Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be widened to 5-lanes from Amity Road to Victory
Road in 2021.
• The intersection of Victory Road and Locust Grove Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be
constructed as a multi-lane roundabout in 2021.
• Victory Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 3-lanes from Locust Grove Road to Eagle
Road between 2021 and 2025.
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 264 vehicle trips per day; 28 vehicle
trips per hour in the PM peak hour, based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip
Generation Manual, 101" edition.
2. Condition of Area Roadways
Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per hour(VPH)
Functional PM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour
Roadway Frontage Classification Traffic Count Level of
Service
Victory Road 287-feet Minor Arterial 843 "F"
* Acceptable level of service for a three-lane minor arterial is "E" (720 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 Victory Road west of Eagle Road was 10,767 on June 13,
2017.

C. Findings for Consideration
1. South Meridian Transportation Study
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 that Victory Road be constructed as 3-lanes throughout the South
Meridian area.
2. Level of Service Planning Thresholds
Victory Road
a. Policy:
Level of Service Planning Thresholds: District Policy 7205.3.1 states that, Level of Service
Planning Thresholds have been established for principal arterials and minor arterials within
ACHD's Capital Improvement and are also listed in section 7106. Unless otherwise required to
provide a Traffic Impact Study under section 7106, a proposed development with site traffic less
than 10% of the existing downstream roadway or intersection peak hour traffic shall not be
required to provide mitigation for a roadway or intersection that currently exceeds the minimum
acceptable level of service planning threshold or V/C ratio.
b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Victory Road currently exceeds the acceptable level of
service planning threshold for a 3-lane Minor Arterial. The trips generated from this site will
contribute less than 3% to the total PM peak hour traffic on Victory Road. Therefore, consistent
with District policy 7205.3.1 Level of Service Planning Threshold, which states, a proposed
development with site traffic less than 10% of the existing downstream roadway or intersection
peak hour traffic shall not be required to provide mitigation; no improvements are required along
this street section.
3. Victory Road
a. Existing Conditions: Victory Road is improved with 3-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and
no sidewalk abutting the site. There is 60-feet of right-of-way for Victory Road (25-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.
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.
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.
3 Teakwood Place/ MPP20-0004/
H-2020-0006
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, 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 46-foot street section
within 74-feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a pavement pathway abutting the
site.
The applicant is proposing to construct a 20-foot wide emergency access only onto Victory Road
located at the northwest property line.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Consistent with District Sidewalk policy, the applicant
should be required to construct 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk or 7-foot wide attached
concrete sidewalk abutting the site. Provide a permanent right-of-way easement to 2-feet
behind back of sidewalk for any sidewalk placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way.
The applicant's proposal to construct a 20-foot wide emergency access only onto Victory Road
located at the northwest property line meets District policy and should be approved. The
emergency access should be restricted with a gate or bollards, located outside of the right-of-
way, as determined by the appropriate fire department.
This segment of Victory Road is listed on the no-cut moratorium. Any pavement cuts to Victory
Road must be approved by the ACHD pavement cut committee.
4. Internal Local Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no local streets within the site. Fathom Street stubs to the
site's west property line.
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 47-feet wide and that the standard street
section shall be 33-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb).
Standard Urban Local Street-33-foot Street Section and Right-of-way Policy: District
Policy 7207.5.2 states that the standard street section shall be 33-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 wide concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall
typically be constructed within 47-feet of right-of-way.
4 Teakwood Place/ MPP20-0004/
H-2020-0006
Continuation of Streets Policy: District Policy 7207.2.4 states that 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. Benefits of connectivity include but are not limited to the following:
• Reduces vehicle miles traveled.
• Increases pedestrian and bicycle connectivity.
• Increases access for emergency services.
• Reduces need for additional access points to the arterial street system.
• Promotes the efficient delivery of services including trash, mail and deliveries.
• Promotes appropriate intra-neighborhood traffic circulation to schools, parks,
neighborhood commercial centers, transit stops, etc.
• Promotes orderly development.
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.
Cul-de-sac Streets Policy: District policy 7207.5.8 requires cul-de-sacs to be constructed to
provide a minimum turning radius of 45-feet; in rural areas or for temporary cul-de-sacs the
emergency service providers may require a greater radius. Landscape and parking islands may
be constructed in turnarounds if a minimum 29-foot street section is constructed around the
island. The pavement width shall be sufficient to allow the turning around of a standard
AASHTO SU design vehicle without backing. The developer shall provide written approval from
the appropriate fire department for this design element.
The District will consider alternatives to the standard cul-de-sac turnaround on a case-by-case
basis. This will be based on turning area, drainage, maintenance considerations and the written
approval of the agency providing emergency fire service for the area where the development is
located.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to extend Fathom Street into the site (as
Hessing Avenue) and construct the local internal streets as 33-foot street sections with rolled
curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk within 47-feet of right-of-way.
The applicant is proposing to terminate the internal local street, Hessing Avenue, into a cul-de-
sac turnaround with a turning radius of 50-feet.

H-2020-0006
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to extend Fathom Street into
the site (as Hessing Avenue) and construct the local internal streets as 33-foot street sections
with rolled curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk within 47-feet of right-of-way meets
District policy and should be approved as proposed.
The applicant should be required to construct the cul-de-sac to provide a minimum turning
radius of 45-feet. The right-of-way should extend to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk.
5. Roadway Offsets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing roadways within 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 the internal local streets with a
minimum offset of 125-feet.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved.
6. Stub Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There is an existing stub street, Fathom Street, at the site's west property
line that is proposed to be extended into the site as a local street.
b. Policy:
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7207.2.4.3 states 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 7207.2.4, 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 ROAD 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 7207.2.4.4 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 has proposed to construct a stub street, Richardson Street,
to the east, located 479-feet south of Victory Road (measured centerline-to-centerline).

and constructed to the same dimensional standards as a standard cul-de-sac turnaround. If
the turnaround 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 install a sign at the terminus of the stub street that states, "THIS ROAD
WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."
7. Driveways
7.1 Victory Road
a. Existing Conditions: There is an existing driveway to provide access to the existing home
located 181-feet east of the site's west property line.
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 1 a under District policy 7205.4.6, unless a waiver for the access point has been approved
by the District Commission.
Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.6 Table 1 a, requires driveways located on minor
arterial roadways with a speed limit of 45 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 380-feet from
any existing or proposed 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 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.
7 Teakwood Place/ MPP20-0004/
H-2020-0006
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.
Cross Access Easements/Shared Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.1 states that cross
access utilizes a single vehicular connection that serves two or more adjoining lots or parcels
so that the driver does not need to re-enter the public street system.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to close the existing driveway onto Victory
Road with Phase 2 of the development. The existing home and accessory structures will be
removed at that time.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to use the existing driveway
onto Victory Road located 181-feet east of the site's west property line does not meet District
Access Management or Successive Driveway policies. The site has access to a lesser classified
street within the proposed subdivision, and it does not meet the minimum offset of 380-feet from
an existing driveway (located 308-feet to the west) and Siduri Avenue (located 52-feet to the
east) on the north side of Victory Road. However, staff recommends a modification of policy to
approve the use of the driveway due to the low traffic volume, it's an existing driveway and the
applicant has proposed to close the driveway with the 2"d phase of the project. The applicant
should be required to close the existing driveway with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot wide
detached concrete or 7-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk before final signatures on phase
2 of the plat.
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
Victory Road is classified as minor arterial roadway. Other than the access specifically approved
with the application, direct lot access is prohibited to this roadway and should be noted on the final
plat.
D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1. Construct 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk or 7-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk
abutting the site. Provide a permanent right-of-way easement to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk for
any sidewalk placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way.
2. Construct a 20-foot wide emergency access only onto Victory Road located at the northwest
property line meets District policy and should be approved. The emergency access should be
restricted with a gate or bollards, located outside of the right-of-way, as determined by the
appropriate fire department.
8 Teakwood Place/ MPP20-0004/
H-2020-0006
3. Extend Fathom Street into the site (as Hessing Avenue) and construct the local internal streets as
33-foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk within 47-feet of
right-of-way
4. Terminate the internal local street, Hessing Avenue, into a cul-de-sac turnaround with a turning
radius of a minimum of 45-feet. The right-of-way should extend to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk.
5. Construct the internal local streets with a minimum offset of 125-feet.
6. Construct a stub street, Richardson Street, to the east, located 479-feet south of Victory Road.
7. Construct a temporary cul-de-sac turnaround at the terminus of the stub street, Richardson Street.
The temporary turnaround should be paved and constructed to the same dimensional standards as
a standard cul-de-sac turnaround. If the turnaround 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.
8. Install a sign at the terminus of the stub street that states, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN
THE FUTURE."
9. As part of Phase 2, close the existing driveway onto Victory Road located 181-feet east of the site's
west property line with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot wide detached concrete or 7-foot wide
attached concrete sidewalk. The closure of the driveway will be required before final signatures on
phase 2 of the plat.
10. Direct lot access is prohibited to Victory Road other than the access approved with this application
and shall be noted on the final plat.
11. Submit civil plans to ACHD Development Services for review and approval. The impact fee
assessment will not be released until the civil plans are approved by ACHD.

project limits, scope of roadway improvements/project, anticipated construction dates, and any
portions critical to the right of way improvements and coordination of utilities.

developer shall notify utilities of the status of right of way/easement acquisition necessary for their
project. At the plan review conference each company shall have the right to appeal, adjust and/or

of review indicating the costs and time required for relocation of its facilities. Said letter of review
is to be provided within thirty calendar days after the date of the plan review conference.
3) Revisions: The developer is responsible to provide utilities with any revisions to preliminary
plans. Utilities may request an updated plan review meeting if revisions are made in the
preliminary plans which affect the utility relocation requirements. Utilities shall have thirty days
after receiving the revisions to review and comment thereon.
4) Final Notification: The developer will provide highway entities, utility owners and the UCC with
final notification of its intent to proceed with right of way improvements and include the anticipated
date work will commence. This notification shall indicate that the work to be performed shall be
pursuant to final approved plans by the highway entity. The developer shall schedule a
preconstruction meeting prior to right of way improvements. Utility relocation activity shall be
completed within the times established during the preconstruction meeting, unless otherwise
agreed upon.
