Traffic Impact Study Staff Comments/Recommendations: A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) is required for the proposed future church site to be located on Lot, Block 2. 3. Condition of Area Roadways Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per hour (VPH) * Acceptable level of service for a two-lane principal arterial is “E” (690 VPH). 4. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT) Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD’s most current traffic counts. • The average daily traffic count for Lake Hazel Road east of Eagle Road was 8,990 on 08/29/2019. Roadway Frontage Functional Classification PM Peak Hour Traffic Count PM Peak Hour Level of Service Lake Hazel Road 943-feet Principal Arterial 433 Better than “E” Eagle Road 0-feet Principal Arterial 406 Better than “E” 3 Poiema Sub & Calvary Chapel/ MPP20-0017/ H-2020-0035 • The average daily traffic count for Eagle Road north of Lake Hazel Road was 6,300 on 08/29/2019. C. Findings for Consideration 1. Lake Hazel Road a. Existing Conditions: Lake Hazel Road is improved with 2-travel lanes, 25-feet of pavement, and no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 75-feet of right-of-way for Lake Hazel 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 Di strict 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 Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 state that the standard 5-lane street section shall be 72-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) within 96- feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates two travel lanes in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike lanes on a minor arterial and a safety shoulder on a 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 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. 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. Frontage Improvements Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer shall widen the pavement to a minimum of 17-feet from centerline plus a 3-foot wide gravel shoulder adjacent to the entire site. Curb, gutter and additional pavement widening may be required (See Section 7205.5.5). 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 4 Poiema Sub & Calvary Chapel/ MPP20-0017/ H-2020-0035 features required through development. This segment of Lake Hazel Road is designated in the MSM as a Residential Mobility Arterial with 5-lanes, on-street bike lanes, and 10-foot wide multi- use pathway, a 72-foot street section within 100-feet of right-of-way. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to dedicate 50-feet of right-of-way from centerline of Lake Hazel Road abutting the site. The applicant is proposing to widen the pavement on Lake Hazel Road to 17-feet in width from centerline with 3-foot wide gravel shoulder abutting the site. The applicant is proposing to construct an 8-foot wide concrete sidewalk outside of the right-of- way within a 12-foot wide easement on Lake Hazel Road abutting the site. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Typically, right-of-way would be measured from centerline of the roadway; however, due to preliminary configuration of the future reconstruction of the Lake Hazel/Eagle Intersection, measurements are being taken from section Line. Therefore, consistent with the MSM to preserve 100-feet of right-of-way along Lake Hazel Road, staff recommends approval of the applicant’s proposal to dedicate 50-feet of right-of-way from section line and improve Lake Hazel Road with 17-feet of pavement and 3-foot wide gravel shoulder from section line meets District policy and is approved. The applicant will be compensated for the additional right-of-way dedication, as this segment of Lake Hazel Road is listed in the CIP. The applicant’s proposal to construct an 8-foot wide concrete sidewalk within a 12-foot wide easement outside of the dedicated right-of-way exceeds District policy and is approved, as proposed. 2. Internal Streets a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing streets internal to 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. 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 o f the parkway strip. 5 Poiema Sub & Calvary Chapel/ MPP20-0017/ H-2020-0035 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 construct the internal streets as 33-foot street sections with curb, gutter, and attached 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk within 47-feet of right-of-way. The applicant is proposing to terminate Street A in a cul-de-sac with a 48-foot turning radius. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should construct the cul-de-sac with a minimum 45-foot turning radius. 3. Roadway Offsets a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing streets internal to the site. 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 1b (7205.4.7). Local Offset Policy: District policy 7206.4.5, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 330-feet from a collector roadway (measured centerline to centerline). 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 a new local street, Street A, to intersect Lake Hazel Road approximately 730-feet east of Arable Way and 1,150-feet west of Medalist Drive (measured centerline to centerline). The applicant is proposing to construct a new local street, Street B, to intersect Street A approximately 465-feet south of Lake Hazel Road (measured centerline to centerline). d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal to construct a new local street, Street A, to intersect Lake Hazel Road does not meet District policy as it does not meet the minimum offset of 1,320-feet from all other existing roadways. However, staff recommends a 6 Poiema Sub & Calvary Chapel/ MPP20-0017/ H-2020-0035 modification of policy as the site does not have access to a lesser street. This a 45% modification to the dimensional standards and is approved at the Deputy Director of Development & Technical Services’ discretion. The applicant’s proposal to construct a new local street, Street B, to intersect Street A located 465-feet south of Lake Hazel Road meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. 4. Stub Streets a. Existing Conditions: There are no stub streets to the site. b. Policy: Stub Street Policy: District policy 7207.2.4 (local) 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 7207.2.5.4 (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. Temporary Dead End Streets Policy: District policy 7207.2.4 (local) 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 a stub street, Street B, approximately 230-feet in length to the site’s west property line between Lot 1, Block 2 and Lot 42, Block 1. 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.” The stub street is proposed to extend greater than 150 -feet in length. Because of this a temporary turnaround should be required. The temporary turnaround should be paved and constructed to the same dimensional standards as a standard cul-de-sac turnaround. The applicant should be required to provide a temporary easement for the turnaround and 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. 5. Driveways 5.1 Lake Hazel Road a. Existing Conditions: There are two existing driveways onto Lake Hazel Road from the site. 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 7 Poiema Sub & Calvary Chapel/ MPP20-0017/ H-2020-0035 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. b. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant is proposing to close the two existing driveways onto Lake Hazel Road with 8-foot wide sidewalk. The applicant is proposing to construct a 20-foot wide emergency access only driveway onto Lake Hazel Road located approximately 68-feet east of the west property line. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal to construct an emergency access only driveway onto Lake Hazel Road located 68-feet from the west property line is approved. The driveway should be paved its entire width at least 30-feet into the site and be restricted to emergency access only with the installation of gates or bollards located outside of the right-of-way as determined by the appropriate Fire Department. 5.2 Street A a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing driveways within the site. b. Policy: Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7207.4.1 requires driveways near intersections to be located a minimum of 75-feet (measured centerline-to-centerline) from the nearest local street intersection, and 150-feet from the nearest collector or arterial street intersection. Successive Driveways: District Policy 7207.4.1 states that successive driveways away from an intersection shall have no minimum spacing requirements for access points along a local street, but the District does encourage shared access points where appropriate. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7207.4.3 states that where vertical curbs are required, residential driveways shall be restricted to a maximum width of 20-feet and may be constructed as curb-cut type driveways. Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.4.3, 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. c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct two 34-foot wide driveways from the future church lot (Lot 1, Block 2) onto Street A. The northern driveway is located approximately 150-feet south of Lake Hazel Road and the southern driveway is located approximately 85-feet north of Street B. The applicant is proposing to construct an alley/driveway onto Street A located between Lots 37 & 53, Block 1. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal meets District policy and is approved, as proposed. 5.3 Street B a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing driveways within the site. b. Policy: Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7207.4.1 requires driveways near intersections to be located a minimum of 75-feet (measured centerline-to-centerline) from the nearest local street intersection, and 150-feet from the nearest collector or arterial street intersection. Successive Driveways: District Policy 7207.4.1 states that successive driveways away from an intersection shall have no minimum spacing requirements for access points along a local street, but the District does encourage shared access points where appropriate. 8 Poiema Sub & Calvary Chapel/ MPP20-0017/ H-2020-0035 Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7207.4.3 states that where vertical curbs are required, residential driveways shall be restricted to a maximum width of 20-feet and may be constructed as curb-cut type driveways. Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.4.3, 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. c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a 20-foot wide emergency access onto Street B located approximately 45-feet east of the west property line (measured centerline to centerline). The applicant is proposing to construct a 20-foot wide alley/driveway onto Street B located between Lots 46 & 48, Block 1. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal to construct an emergency access only driveway onto Street B located 45-feet east of the west property line is approved. The driveway should be paved its entire width at least 30-feet into the site and be restricted to emergency access only with the installation of gates or bollards located outside of the right -of- way as determined by the appropriate Fire Department. The applicant’s proposal to construct an alley/driveway onto Street B is approved. 6. Alleys/ Minor Local Street a. Policy: Minor Local Street Policy: District policy 7207.5.2 states that a minor local street is defined as a reduced width local street that provides direct lot access for residential uses, and in limited circumstances, commercial or mixed use as described below. Pavement Width and Curb Type: A minor local shall be constructed with a reduced width of 24-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb with curb and gutter. Where the minor local street is utilized in a gridded street system with alleys, vertical curb shall be required and direct lot access shall be restricted. Where the minor local street is utilized, with residential open space scenarios, rolled curb or ribbon curbing (with an inverted crown), is allowed if access to the rear of the parcels is provided from the minor local street. Sidewalk and Right-of-Way: Five-foot wide concrete sidewalks are required on both sides, unless as otherwise described below or approved by ACHD and the lead land use agency. The sidewalk for this street section may be located within a permanent right -of-way easement. If the sidewalk is located within an easement, the minimum right-of-way width for this street section is 28-feet, to allow for 2-feet behind the back-of-curb on each side. Sidewalk may not be required, or may be required on one side only as determined by the lead land use agency, if the minor local street is used in residential areas where houses accessing the minor local street are built with the front of the house (including the front door) facing the common or open space lots that include a connected system of sidewalks or paved pathways and the lotting pattern is mirrored on both sides of the street. Parking: Parking is prohibited on both sides of this street section. “No Parking” signs are required. Alternative parking for guests, visitors, auxiliary residential parking, and deliveries shall be provided and shall be designated and located in coordination with the lead land use agency. Typically, this parking will be provided via community parking spaces located within walking distance of these types of residences. Walking distance shall be defined by the lead land use agency. 9 Poiema Sub & Calvary Chapel/ MPP20-0017/ H-2020-0035 Requirements (This street section may only be used if the following conditions are met): • The maximum projected ADT is less than 400. • The street connects to two other standard size streets. • There is support from the lead land use agency (either from staff or Commission/ Council). • Maximum block length of 600-feet. • In commercial or mixed-use areas where urban designs utilizing alleys are desirable but may be impractical due to access restrictions to classified roadways (arterials, collectors, and residential collectors). In this example, the minor local street would parallel the access-restricted roadway and would provide direct access to the commercial or mixed - use lots. • No portion of a building shall be over 30-feet in height. If any portion of a building is over 30-feet in height, aerial fire apparatus is required, and a 26-foot wide street is required (International Fire Code Appendix D Section C105). However, a 26-foot wide street, with a minimum right-of-way of 30-feet, is allowed if all other requirements for a minor local street are met. b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing a 20-foot wide private alley to intersect Street A between Lots 37 and 53, Block 1 and to intersect Street B between Lots 46 and 48, Block 1 to solely serve the proposed Townhomes. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal meets District policy. However, if the City of Meridian does not approve the private alley, ACHD will not approve a public alley because ACHD policy does not allow a public alley to be the sole public right-of- way frontage (Section 7210.1) for residential uses. Therefore, if the City of Meridian requires a public street, the applicant should construct a Minor Local Street as a 24-foot street section with curb and gutter within 28-feet of right-of-way. Five-foot wide concrete sidewalks are typically required on both sides and can be placed in a permanent right-of-way easement to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk unless the City of Meridian determines that sidewalk is not required, only required on one side, or if the minor local street is used in residential areas where houses accessing the minor local street are built with the front of the house (including the front door) facing the common or open space lots that include a connected system of sidewalks or paved pathways and the lotting pattern is mirrored on both sides of the street. The applicant should provide “NO PARKING” signs as parking on the street is prohibited. The applicant should coordinate with the City of Meridian to provide alternative parking for guests, visitors, auxiliary residential parking, and deliveries. 7. 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. 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. 10 Poiema Sub & Calvary Chapel/ MPP20-0017/ H-2020-0035 9.
