Hi Matt, Good news. Looks like I am far more ruthless than my superiors . They supported the modification of policy for the temporary access and it doesn’t require Commission approval, sorry for making a bigger concern out of it that it turned out to be. I have attached my draft report for your review. I do want to point out that I did ask one of our traffic engineers about the alley intersecting within the cul-de-sac. If they have a serious concern with it I will likely take you up on that stub street to the east. Please let me know if you have any comments or questions by noon on Wednesday the th 20. If you two are ok with the report and I hear back from my coworker I hope to get it finalized that afternoon.

Findings of Fact 1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting annexation, rezone to R-15 and preliminary plat approval for a residential subdivision consisting of 43 buildable lots, 13 common lots and 1 other lot for temporary access on 5 acres. The applicant’s proposal is consistent with the City of Meridian’s comprehensive plan designation of me dium-high density residential. 2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: Direction Land Use Zoning North Rural to Urban Transition Zone RUT South Medium Density Residential District R-8 East Rural to Urban Transition Zone RUT West Rural to Urban Transition Zone RUT 3. Site History: ACHD previously reviewed this site as Ascent Subdivision (H -2019-0122) in December 2019. No public streets were proposed as part of this application. A modification of policy was granted for a driveway onto Franklin Road, as this site does not have access to a lesser classified street. The requirements of this staff report are revised to refle ct the current site plan. 4. Adjacent Development: The following developments are pending or underway in the vicinity of the site: • Entrata Farms, a multi-family residential subdivision consisting of 278 dwelling units located just east of this site was appro ved by ACHD in May 2018 and phase 1 is currently under construction. 2 DRAFT Ascent Subdivision / MPP19-0029 / H-2020- 0039 • Baraya Apartments, a multi-family residential subdivision consisting of 240 dwelling units located at the southeast corner of Umbria Hills Way and Franklin Road was approved by ACHD in February 2018 and is currently under construction. • Baraya Subdivision, consisting of 334 single family lots and one elementary school lot, located directly south of this site was approved by ACHD in March 2007 and is in various stages of development. 5. Transit: Transit services are available to serve this site , via route 42. 6. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0.30 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): • Black Cat Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 5-lanes from Cherry Lane to Franklin Road between 2021 and 2025. • Black Cat Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 3-lanes from Overland Road to Franklin Road between 2026 and 2030. B. Traffic Findings for Consideration 1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 406 additional vehicle trips per day; 43 additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour, 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) * Acceptable level of service for a five -lane principal arterial is “E” (1,780 VPH). * Acceptable level of service for a five-lane minor arterial is “E” (1,540 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 Franklin Road east of Ten Mile Road was 14,211 on December 19, 2018. • The average daily traffic count for Ten Mile Road north of Franklin Road was 27,049 on January 10, 2018. C. Findings for Consideration 1. Franklin Road a. Existing Conditions: Franklin Road is improved with 5-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk abutting the site. There is 90 -feet of right-of-way for Franklin Road (34-feet from section line). Roadway Frontage Functional Classification PM Peak Hour Traffic Count PM Peak Hour Level of Service Franklin Road 365-feet Principal Arterial 947 Better than “E” Ten Mile Road None Minor Arterial 1,474 Better than “E” 3 DRAFT Ascent Subdivision / MPP19-0029 / H-2020- 0039 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. 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. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Franklin Road. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Franklin Road was widened to 5-lanes in 2017 and fully improved with curb, gutter and sidewalk abutting the site; therefore , right-of-way dedication and frontage improvements are not required as part of this application. Consistent with ACHD’s Minor Improvement Policy, the applicant should be required to repair or replace any damaged or deficient improvements along Franklin Road abutting the site. 2. Internal Local Streets a. Existing Conditions: There are no local streets within the site. 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. 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. Th e 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 develop ments with net densities 4 DRAFT Ascent Subdivision / MPP19-0029 / H-2020- 0039 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 out side 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 fr om 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 construct Perugia Street and Ascent Street as 33-foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter and 5-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk within 47-feet of right-of-way. The applicant is proposing to construct Carisbrooke Avenue as a 33 -foot street section with rolled curb, gutter, 8-foot wide planter strips, and 5 -foot wide detached concrete sidewalk. The applicant is proposing to dedicate 37 -feet of right-of-way for Carisbrooke Avenue and provide a permanent sidewalk easement extending 2 -feet past the back of sidewalk. The applicant is proposing to terminate Ascent Street with a cul -de-sac at the east property line. The proposed cul-de-sac has a 48-foot radius. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal to construct Perugia Street and Ascent Street as 33 -foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter and 5 -foot wide attached concrete sidewalk within 47-feet of right-of-way meets District policy and should be approved as proposed. The applicant’s proposal to construct Carisbrooke Avenue as a 33-foot street section with curb, gutter, 8-foot wide planter strips, and 5 -foot wide detached concrete sidewalk meets District policy and should be approved. However, as the lots along Carisbrooke Avenue are proposed to be alley loaded, vertical curb should be constructe d along Carisbrooke Avenue. The applicant’s proposal to dedicate 37 -feet of right-of-way for Carisbrooke Avenue and provide a permanent sidewalk easement extending 2 -feet past the back of sidewalk meets District policy and should be approved as proposed. 5 DRAFT Ascent Subdivision / MPP19-0029 / H-2020- 0039 The applicant’s proposal to terminate Ascent Street at the east property line in a cul-de-sac with a 48-foot radius meets District policy and should be approved as proposed. The applicant should be required to dedicate right -of-way extending to the east property line to allow driveway access to the neighboring parcel. 3. Alleys a. Existing Conditions: There are no alleys within the site. b. Policy: New Alley Policy: District Policy 7210.3.1 requires the minimum right-of-way width for all new residential alleys shall be a minimum of 16-feet or a maximum of 20-feet. If the residential alley is 16-feet in width building setbacks required by the land use agency having jurisdiction shall provide sufficient space for the safe backing of vehicles into the alley (see Section 7210.3.3). The minimum right-of-way width for all new commercial or mixed -use alleys shall be 20-feet. All alleys shall be improved by paving the full width and length of the r ight-of-way. Dedication of clear title to the right-of-way and the improvement of the alley, and acceptance of the improvement by the District as meeting its construction standards, are required for all alleys contained in a proposed development. Alley Length Policy: District Policy 7210.3.2 states that alleys shall be no longer than 700 - feet in length. If the lead land use agency having jurisdiction requires a shorter block length, the alley shall be no longer than the agency’s required block length. Alley Parking & Setbacks Policy: District Policy 7210.3.3 states that parking within the alley right-of-way is prohibited. “No Parking” signs are required to be installed by the developer. The signs should be located at the alley/stree t intersections. Parking which is entered from the alley shall be designed so the minimum clear distance from the back of the parking stall to the opposite side of the alley is 20 -feet for all perpendicular parking. Setbacks for structures taking access from the alley should be closely coordinated with the lead land use agency. The setbacks shall either discourage parking within the alley (where it may partially block or occur within the right -of-way) or allow adequate area for one perpendicular parking pad. In order to discourage parking, building setbacks shall be minimal from the alley right-of-way line, while still achieving the required 20 -feet of back-up space from a garage or other parking structure to the opposite side of the alley (i.e. 4 -foot setback + 16-foot alley= 20- feet for back-up space). Alley Intersections and Offsets Policy: District policy 7210.3.7 states that alleys should intersect public streets at each end. In specific circumstances as outlined in the policies below, the District may consider allowing an alley to intersect a public street at only one end. A 90 - degree angle of intersection shall be designed where practical. In no case shall the intersecting angle be less than 75-degrees, as measured from centerline of intersecting street. An access to an alley shall be located a minimum of 50 -feet from the nearest street (measured centerline to centerline). Alley/Local Street Intersections Policy: District Policy 7210.3.7.2 states that alleys may intersect all types of local stre ets including minor local streets. Alleys shall generally be designed with a curb cut type approach when intersecting a local street. Alleys shall generally intersect streets in the middle of the block equally offsetting the intersecting streets. Alleys shall either align with alley/street intersections or provide a minimum 100 -foot offset (measured centerline to centerline) from other local street intersections. For alley intersections with local streets, the District may consider a reduced offset if the lead land use agency’s required lot size allows for shorter buildable lots. Vacations of Alleys Policy: District Policy 7210.3.6 states that vacations of alley right-of-way are discouraged and shall not result in dead -end alleys. 6 DRAFT Ascent Subdivision / MPP19-0029 / H-2020- 0039 c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct two 16 -foot wide alleys within 20- feet of right-of-way. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal to construct two 16 -foot wide alleys within 20-feet of right-of-way meets District policy and should be approved as proposed. The developer should be required to install “No Parking” signs located at the alley/street intersections. 4. Stub Streets a. Existing Conditions: No stub streets exist abutting the site. 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 is proposing to construct 3 stub streets within the site, Perugia Street and Ascent Street to the west property line and Perugia Street to the east. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal meets District policy and should be approved as proposed. The applicant should be required to install a sign at the terminus of the stub streets stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE.” As none of the proposed stubs streets are in excess of 150 -feet in length temporary turnarounds are not required. 5. Driveways 5.1 Franklin Road a. Existing Conditions: There is a 20-foot wide curb cut type driveway onto Franklin Road located 193-feet west of the eastern 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. 7 DRAFT Ascent Subdivision / MPP19-0029 / H-2020- 0039 Access Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 states that direct access to principal 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 1b under District policy 7205.4.7, unless a waiver for the access point has been approved by the District Commission. Driveways, when approved on a principal arterial shall operate as a right-in/right-out only, and the District will require the construction of a raised median to restrict the left turning movements. Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.7 Table 1b, requires driveways located on principal 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. 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 . Temporary Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.2 identifies a temporary access as that which “is permitted for use until appropriate alternative access becomes available”. Temporary access may be granted through a development agreement or similar method, and the deve loper shall be responsible for providing a financial guarantee for the future closure of the driveway. c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant is requesting a modification of policy to have a temporary driveway onto Franklin Road located 220-feet west of the eastern property line (146-feet east of the western property line). The applicant is requesting to construct the temporary driveway as a 25-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and 5 -foot wide attached concrete sidewalk with in a 37-foot wide common lot. The applicant is proposing to provide a road trust to ACHD to convert the temporary access into an emergency and pedestrian access only after local street access is provided by a neighboring development. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposed temporary access location does not meet District Successive Driveway policy as there are two driveways within the required 380-foot offset (one 325-feet to the east and the other 182-feet to the west). However, staff recommends a modification of policy to allow the temporary access be located as proposed due to the fact that this site does not have access to a lesser classified street and there is not adequate frontage to meet the required 380 -foot offset. Additionally, the two driveways within 380-feet of the proposed driveway are low volume driveways. The 52% modification of policy is approved at the discretion of the Deputy Director of Development and Technical Services. Staff is supportive of the applicant’s proposed temporary access and recommends a temporary right-of-way easement be provided over the 37-foot wide temporary access common lot. The easement will be released after a local street connection is constructed by a neighboring development. The applicant should be required to prov id e a $7,260 road trust for the future closure of the temporary access road as determined by the fire department. ACHD does not accept future 8 DRAFT Ascent Subdivision / MPP19-0029 / H-2020- 0039 maintenance responsibilities of the emergency and pedestrian access only lot or the bollards/gates used to restrict vehicular access, as they will be located outside ACHD right-of- way. 6. 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. Clas s 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. 7. 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 Distri ct requirements prior to signature of the final plat and/or approval of the civil plans. 8. Other Access Franklin Road is classified as a principal arterial 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.
