A. Findings of Fact
1. Description of Application: This is an annexation and rezone application to annex 5 acres into
the City of Meridian with R-8 zoning and a preliminary plat application to allow for the development
of 14 new residential lots, 4 common lots, and 1 lot for the existing home on-site.
The applicant's proposal is consistent with the City of Meridian's future land use map, which
designates this area as Medium Density Residential.
2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area:
Direction I Land Use Zoning
North Medium Density Residential R-8 (City of Meridian
South Medium Density Residential R1 Ada Count
East Low Density Residential R-4 (City of Meridian
West Medium Density Residential R-8 (City of Meridian)
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.
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
1 Slatestone Subdivision/
MPP22-0026/ H-2022-0039
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 0.09 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):
• Stoddard Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be widened to 3-lanes from Victory Road to
Overland Road to be designed in 2022 and constructed in a future year.
• The intersection of Stoddard Road is scheduled to receive an enhanced pedestrian crossing
to be designed in 2022 and constructed in a future year.
• Bridge#2085 is scheduled in the IFYWP to be replaced as part of the Stoddard Road widening
to be designed in 2022 and constructed in a future year.
• Victory Road is listed in the IFYWP to be widened to 3-lanes from Linder Road to Meridian
Road to be designed in 2026 and constructed in a future year.
9. Roadways to Bikeways Master Plan: ACHD's Roadways to Bikeways Master Plan (BMP) was
adopted by the ACHD Commission in May of 2009 and was update in 2018. The plan seeks to
implement the Planned Bicycle Network to support bicycling as a viable transportation option for
Ada County residents with a wide range of ages and abilities, maintain bicycle routes in a state of
good repair in order to ensure they are consistently available for use, promote awareness of existing
bicycle routes and features and support encouragement programs and to facilitate coordination and
cooperation among local jurisdictions in implementing the Roadways to Bikeways Plan
recommendations.
The BMP identifies Victory Road and Stoddard Road as Level 3 facilities that will be constructed as
part of a future ACHD project.

3. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT)
Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD's most current traffic counts.
• There are no traffic counts for this section of Stoddard Road.
C. Findings for Consideration
1. Stoddard Road
a. Existing Conditions: Stoddard Road is improved with 3-travel lanes and no curb, gutter, or
sidewalk abutting the site. There is 60-feet of right-of-way for Stoddard Road (26-feet from
centerline).
b. Policy:
Collector Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all collector frontages adjacent to the site or internal to the development as required
below, regardless of whether access is taken to all of the adjacent streets.
Master Street Map and Typologies Policy: District policy 7206.5 states that if the collector
street is designated with a typology on the Master Street Map, that typology shall be considered
for the required street improvements. If there is no typology listed in the Master Street Map,
then standard street sections shall serve as the default.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard right-
of-way width for collector streets shall typically be 50 to 70-feet, depending on the location and
width of the sidewalk and the location and use of the roadway. The right-of-way width may be
reduced, with District approval, if the sidewalk is located within an easement; in which case the
District will require a minimum right-of-way width that extends 2-feet behind the back-of-curb on
each side.
The standard street section shall be 46-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width typically
accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike
lanes.
Residential Collector Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard street section
for a collector in a residential area shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The District
will consider a 33-foot or 29-foot street section with written fire department approval and taking
into consideration the needs of the adjacent land use, the projected volumes, the need for
bicycle lanes, and on-street parking.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy 7206.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide to
be constructed on both sides of all collector 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.
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM)
guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway features
required through development. This segment of Stoddard Road is designated in the MSM as a
3 Slatestone Subdivision/
MPP22-0026/ H-2022-0039
Residential Collector with 3-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 46-foot street section within 70-
feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to improve Stoddard Road with curb, gutter,
and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site.
The applicant has also proposed to dedicate additional right-of-way for Stoddard Road abutting
the site to total 35-feet from centerline and 2-feet behind the back of sidewalk.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved as proposed. The applicant should be required to construct vertical curb
on Stoddard Road abutting the site and tie in to the existing improvements to the north.
2. Scoria Court
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing roadways 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.
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 50-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
4 Slatestone Subdivision/
MPP22-0026/ H-2022-0039
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 has proposed to construct a new local roadway, Scoria
Court, as a 33-foot wide local street section with curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide detached concrete
sidewalks within 37-feet of right-of-way. Scoria Court is proposed to intersect Stoddard Road
345-feet north of Grizzly Drive and to terminate within the site as a cul-de-sac turnaround with
a 54-foot turning radius.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved as proposed.
If street trees are desired, an 8-foot wide planter strip is required. The applicant should be
required to dedicate additional right-of-way to total 2-feet behind the back of sidewalk or provide
a permanent right-of-way easement for sidewalk located outside of the dedicated right-of-way.
Although the applicant's proposal meets District policy, the applicant may consider constructing
the internal road as a private street, as there are no stub streets to provide connectivity to the
site and surrounding parcels. Additionally, existing homes to the north and west and the
Ridenbaugh Canal to the south limit the possibility of future development and connectivity
around the site. If a private street is approved by the City of Meridian, then street name and stop
signs should be required for the private road. The signs may be ordered through the District.
Verification of the correct, approved name of the road is required.
3. Roadway Offsets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing roadways within the site.
b. Policy:
Collector Offset Policy: District policy 7206.4.5, states that the preferred spacing for a new
local street intersecting a collector roadway to align or offset a minimum of 330-feet from any
other street (measured centerline to centerline).
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct a new local roadway, Scoria
Court, to intersect Stoddard Road 345-feet north of Grizzly Drive.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved as proposed.
4. Driveways
4.1 Stoddard Road
a. Existing Conditions: There is an existing 18-foot wide unimproved driveway from the site on

b. Policy:
Access 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.
District Policy 7206.1 states that the primary function of a collector is to intercept traffic from the
local street system and carry that traffic to the nearest arterial. A secondary function is to service
5 Slatestone Subdivision/
MPP22-0026/ H-2022-0039
adjacent property. Access will be limited or controlled. Collectors may also be designated at
bicycle and bus routes.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to close the existing driveway with the
construction of the entry portion of Scoria Court.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved as proposed.
4.2 Scoria Court
a. Existing Conditions: Scoria Court is not existing 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

d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved as proposed.
5. 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 has proposed to construct a 26-foot wide shared access
private drive to extend south from Scoria Court approximately 150-feet east of the terminus of

shall include a written argument in support of the appeal. The Commission shall not
consider a notice of appeal that does not comply with the provisions of this subsection.
c. Time to Reply: The Development Services Manager shall have ten (10) working days

Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action
1. Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action: A Commissioner, a member of ACHD
staff or any other person objecting to any final action taken by the Commission may request
reconsideration of that action, provided the request is not for a reconsideration of an action
previously requested to be reconsidered, an action whose provisions have been partly and
materially carried out, or an action that has created a contractual relationship with third parties.
a. Only a Commission member who voted with the prevailing side can move for
reconsideration, but the motion may be seconded by any Commissioner and is voted on
by all Commissioners present.
If a motion to reconsider is made and seconded it is subject to a motion to postpone to a
certain time.
b. The request must be in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the Highway District no
later than 11:00 a.m. 2 days prior to the Commission's next scheduled regular meeting
following the meeting at which the action to be reconsidered was taken. Upon receipt of
the request, the Secretary shall cause the same to be placed on the agenda for that next
scheduled regular Commission meeting.
c. The request for reconsideration must be supported by written documentation setting forth
new facts and information not presented at the earlier meeting, or a changed situation that
has developed since the taking of the earlier vote, or information establishing an error of
fact or law in the earlier action. The request may also be supported by oral testimony at
the meeting.
d. If a motion to reconsider passes, the effect is the original matter is in the exact position it
occupied the moment before it was voted on originally. It will normally be returned to
ACHD staff for further review. The Commission may set the date of the meeting at which
the matter is to be returned. The Commission shall only take action on the original matter
at a meeting where the agenda notice so provides.
e. At the meeting where the original matter is again on the agenda for Commission action,
interested persons and ACHD staff may present such written and oral testimony as the
President of the Commission determines to be appropriate, and the Commission may take
any action the majority of the Commission deems advisable.
f. If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to cover
administrative costs, as established by the Commission.
