C. Findings for Consideration
Fairview Avenue Corridor Access Management: Fairview Avenue between
Linder Road in Meridian and Orchard Street in Boise is a significant transportation corridor in the
region with existing safety and operational needs that are expected to worsen over time. As a
result, ACHD and the Cities of Meridian and Boise are developing the Fairview Avenue Corridor Access
Management Plan to identify and evaluate strategies for maintaining safe and efficient access along
Fairview Avenue. The current project phase focuses on the corridor by evaluating existing
information, enhancing and updating technical information where needed, encouraging the public
to participate, and synthesizing material into a cohesive, phased implementation plan. The plan
2 Touchstone Place/MPP-13-009/MCUP-13-003
will recommend strategies for roadway and intersection improvements to occur over the next 20
years.
2. Fairview Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: Fairview Avenue is improved with 5-travel lanes, and no curb, gutter or
sidewalk abutting the site. There is 110-feet of right-of-way for Fairview Avenue (55-feet from

principal arterial.
Right -of -Way Dedication: District Policy 7205.2 states that The District will provide
compensation for additional right-of-way dedicated beyond the existing right-of-way along
arterials listed as impact fee eligible in the adopted Capital Improvements Plan using available
impact fee revenue in the Impact Fee Service Area.
No compensation will be provided for right-of-way on an arterial that is not listed as impact fee
eligible in the Capital Improvements Plan.
The District may acquire additional right-of-way beyond the site -related needs to preserve a
corridor for future capacity improvements, as provided in Section 7300.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires a concrete sidewalks at least 5-feet wide to

within 122-feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Fairview Avenue
abutting the site.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District
Policy. The applicant should be required to dedicate 60-feet of right-of-way from centerline of
Fairview Avenue abutting the site.
The applicant should be required to construct a 5-foot wide sidewalk, 53-feet from centerline
of Fairview Avenue abutting the site; and provide a permanent right-of-way easement for any
sidewalk located outside of the dedicated right-of-way.
3. Sandlin Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: Sandlin Avenue is stubbed at the site's south property line as a 36-foot
street section within 50-feet of right-of-way.

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.

5 Touchstone Place/MPP-13-00g/MCUP-13-003
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to extend Sand in Avenue 45-feet north
into the site then 124-feet west as a 29-foot street section with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide
sidewalk on the north side of the street and 10-foot wide sidewalk on the south side of the
street within 46-feet of right of way to the adjoining property.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Policy and
should be approved, as proposed.
4. Roadway Offsets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing roadway offsets onto Fairview Avenue from this
development.
b. Policy:
Local Street Intersection Spacing on Principal Arterials: District policy 7205.4.3 states
that new local streets should not typically intersect arterials. Local streets should typically
intersect collectors. If it is necessary, as determined by ACHD, for a local street to intersect
an arterial, the minimum allowable offset shall be 1,320-feet as measured from all other
existing roadways as identified in Table 1 b (7205.4.7).
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).

Jericho Lane, to intersect Fairview Avenue approximately 1,364-feet west of Locust Grove,
375-feet west of Stonehenge Way, 110-feet west of the Pet Care Clinic driveway, and 122-
feet east of the nearest residential driveway, onto Fairview Avenue from the site. The
proposed private road is in alignment with Jericho Road directly to the north.
The applicant is also proposing to construct a 30-foot wide private road, Wilson Lane, to
intersect Wilson Street approximately 128-feet east of the west property line and 390-feet
west of Penrith Place.
Lane, does not meet District Policy, however, staff
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal for approval to allow Jericho the location of Jericho
recommends
Lane to be located as proposed due to the fact that the proposed location of the private road
was previously approved as a public street and is in direct alinment with Jericho Road
directly north of the site. g
There is also a cross access agreement that was required as part of the Pet Care Clinic
approval in February 2010, which allowed the Pet Care Clinic to continue to utilize their
temporary driveway onto Fairview Avenue until such time that a shared access could be taken
from this site, more specifically Jericho Lane. The applicant should be required to provide a
maximum 40-foot wide and a minimum of 75-feet (measured centerline -to -centerline) from
Fairview Avenue driveway access to the east abutting property, the Pet Care Clinic, as
previously required.
Staff recommends that a cross access easement be required with the 2 adjoining properties to
the west of this development.
The applicant should construct Wilson Lane as proposed.
In accordance with District policy, 7205.4.8, the applicant should be required to pave the
private roadways (driveways) a minimum of 20 to 24-feet wide and at least 30-feet into the site
beyond the edge of pavement of all public streets.
5. Stub Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There is an existing stub street to the site, Sandlin Avenue.
6 Touchstone Place/MPP-13-009/MCUP-13-003
b. Policy:

provide circulation or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with
the requirements described in Section 7207.2.5.4 (local), 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.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a 124-feet long stub street west
to the abutting property. Wilson Street is located approximately 678-feet south from Fairview
Avenue (centerline to centerline).
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 street stating that,
THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."
6. Private Roads
a. Private Road Policy: District policy 7212.1 states that the lead land use agencies in Ada
County establish the requirements for private streets. The District retains authority and will
review the proposed intersection of a private and public street for compliance with District
intersection policies and standards. The private road should have the following requirements:
• Designed to discourage through traffic between two public streets,
• Graded to drain away from the public street intersection, and
• If a private road is gated, the gate or keypad (if applicable) shall be located a minimum of
50-feet from the near edge of the intersection and a turnaround shall be provided.
b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the internal roads, Jericho Lane,
Touchstone Lane, Sandlin Lane, and Wilson Lane, as private roads.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: If the City of Meridian approves the private roads, the
applicant shall be required to pave the private roadways a minimum of 20 to 24-feet wide and at
least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of all public streets and install pavement
tapers with 15-foot curb radii abutting the existing roadway edge. If private roads are not
approved by the City of Meridian, the applicant will be required to revise and resubmit the
preliminary plat to provide public standard local streets in these locations.
Street name and stop signs are required for the private roads. The signs may be ordered
through the District. Verification of the correct, approved name of the road is required.
ACHD does not make any assurances that the private roads, which are a
part of this
application, will be accepted as public roads if such a request is made in the future. Substantial
redesign and reconstruction costs may be necessary in order to qualify these roads for public
ownership and maintenance.
The following requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the roadways to
ACHD:
7 Touchstone Place/MPP-13-009/MCUP-13-003
• Dedicate a minimum of 50-feet of right-of-way for the road.
• Construct the roadway to the minimum ACHD requirements.

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.
8. 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.
