_CZC Application Ten Mile Trailhub -- AUG revision28 August 2020 - REVISED
PROJECT NARRATIVE
Please accept this resubmittal for a Certificate of Zoning Compliance for the Ten Mile Trailhub
project, proposed for development by Meridian Parks and Recreation. Site plans have been
revised to be in accord with Meridian Fire conditions returned with our May 2020 submittal.
This property is zoned R-4. Parks and recreation is a permitted use in this zone. The Trailhub
will serve to beautify and take recreational advantage of an otherwise unused parcel.
This Ten Mile Trailhub is intended to serve as the first-ever trailhead facility constructed
expressly to serve the Meridian Pathway system It will offer a gateway to the system as well as
an opportunity to begin developing greater visibility and branding for Meridian Pathways.
Site design changed somewhat as a result of staff comments and primarily involved a reduction
in the size of the proposed parking lot, and a relocation of the plaza to the south end of the
parking area. Project amenities include parking for 34 20 cars, pathways and sidewalks, a
bicycle repair station, drinking fountain/fill station, bicycle parking, seating, and a flex-use
plaza to serve future planned events and pathways-related activities. We will also be installing
a prefabricated restroom building, identified for relocation from the Community Center.
Landscaping includes required street trees and parking lot landscape, as well as strategically
limited manicured turf areas. Approximately one-third of the proposed landscape will be low-
water use plant materials, with limited irrigation. Future amenities (in conjunction with
Meridian Arts Commission) include art and signage for wayfinding and identity.
The Trailhub project is located on the westerly portion of an ACHD-owned parcel that fronts
Ten Mile Road, just south of the Five Mile Drain, across from the WWRRC. ACHD will retain
ownership of the property. The City will develop a portion of the site --approximately 1.3 acres.
(See Westerly Remainder/Warranty Deed.) The property east of the proposed Trailhub will
continue to function as an ACHD storm water facility. Provisions for infrequent cross-access to
that facility are part of the site plan.
The City has entered into a cost share with ACHD for the first phase of construction (concurrent
with the Ten Mile Road Widening project, now underway) and will develop Phase II of the
Trailhub under a separately bid contract as soon as roadway widening is complete. A license
agreement with ACHD will allow for development of Phase II and provide for the long-term
use and maintenance of the completed site by Meridian Parks and Recreation.
Please consult diagram immediately following this narrative for project phasing.
Phase I plans were completed by Civil Survey, ACHD’s contractor for the roadway project.
The civil base is the foundation of the Site/Landscape plan for Phase II, provided with this
submittal.
In addition to parking and pedestrian facilities, the ACHD Cost Share agreement includes
construction of a 14’ wide pedestrian crossing that shares the east side of the proposed
vehicular bridge where Ten Mile Rd crosses Five Mile Creek. This will connect users to the Five
Mile Pathway, Reta Huskey Park, and the park and pathway system at large.
Completed roadway plans also provide a signaled pedestrian crossing of Ten Mile Road near
the Trailhub location.
Thanks in advance for your review and consideration. Please let me know if you have any
questions.
