Lead Agency: City of Meridian ;' ` + �i Site address: 2820, 2910, 2960, 2990 & p.t w 3020 S. Eagle Road 44,5 Staff Approval: XXXX, 202X A� Applicant: Kindi Moosman Horrocks Engineers, Inc. , p� 2775 W Navigator Drive, Suite 210 Meridian, ID 83642 51�� PP , 71 Staff Contact: Dawn Battles, Senior Planner Phone: 387-6218 M R� � E-mail: dbattles(a_)achdidaho.org A. Findings of Fact 1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting approval of annexation with rezone of 11- acres from RUT (Rural-Urban Transition) to R-15 (High-Density Residential) and 2-acres to C-C (Community Business)and a preliminary plat application consisting of 5 building lots and 1 common lot to allow for the development of 132 multi-family units and 18,100 square feet of commercial/retail. The applicant's rezone proposal is consistent with the City of Meridian's future land use map which designates this area as Mixed Use Community. 2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: Direction I Land Use Zoning North Mixed-Use Community MU-C South Mixed-Use Community MU-C East Medium Density Residential R-8 West Medium Density Residential R-8 3. Site History: ACHD has not previously reviewed this site for a development application. 4. Adjacent Development: The following developments are pending or underway in the vicinity of the site: • Inglewood Place, a 9 lot mixed-use subdivision consisting of 8 buildable lots and 1 common lot for a senior living community, retail and office or professional on 9-acres located directly adjacent to the south of the site and is in various stages of development. 5. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site. 1 DRAFT Artisan Victory Market/ MPP22-0020 H- 2022-0066 6. 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 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. 7. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0.19 centerline miles of new public road. 8. 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. 9. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/ Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP): • Easy Jet is scheduled in the IFYWP for a community improvement project which includes establishing a new bikeway corridor and the installation of wayfinding/bikeway signage with the design year in 2024 and the construction date has not been determined. • Victory Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be widened to 5-lanes from Eagle Road to Cloverdale Road with the design year in 2025 and the construction date has not been determined. • The intersection of Eagle Road and Victory Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 6-lanes on the north leg, 6-lanes on the south, 7-lanes east, and 6-lanes on the west leg, and signalized between 2026 and 2030. 10. 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 Eagle Road as Level 3 facilities that will be constructed as part of a future ACHD project. B. Traffic Findings for Consideration 1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 1,694 vehicle trips per day; 157 vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour, based on the traffic impact study. 2. Traffic Impact Study Kimley-Horn prepared a traffic impact study for the proposed Artisan Victory Market (formerly known as Modern Craftsman). The executive summary of the findings as presented by Kimley- 2 DRAFT Artisan Victory Market/ MPP22-0020 / H-2022-0066 Horn can be found as Attachment 3. ACHD has reviewed the submitted traffic impact study for consistency with ACHD policies and practices and may have additional requirements beyond what is noted in the summary. ACHD Staff comments on the submitted traffic impact study can be found below under staff comments. cc a --� ck� _ CD c� r T r � Easy Jet ❑rive: -i w .ti 51 - _ f •.. !,li 4 E Victory Road Study Area Intersections: 1.

Policy: Mitigation Proposals: Mitigation recommendations shall be provided within the report. At a minimum, for each roadway segment and intersection that does not meet the minimum 3 DRAFT Artisan Victory Market/ MPP22-0020 / H-2022-0066 acceptable level of service planning threshold or v/c ratio, the report must discuss feasible measures to avoid or reduce the impact to the system. To be considered adequate, measures should be specific and feasible. Mitigation may also include: • Revision to the Phasing Plan to coincide with the District's planning Capital Projects. • Reducing the scope and/or scale of the project. Alternative Mitigation Measures: 7106.7.3 states that if traditional mitigation measures such as roadway widening and intersection improvements are infeasible as determined by ACHD, the TIS may recommend alternative mitigation measures. Alternative mitigation measures shall demonstrate that impacts from the project will be offset. • If the impacted roadway segments and/or intersections are programmed as funded in the Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP) or the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP); no alternative mitigation is required. • If the impacted roadway segments and/or intersections are not programmed in either the IFYWP or the CIP; the applicant may (i) analyze the shoulder hour and (ii) provide a safety analysis to determine alternative mitigation requirements. o If the impacted roadway segments and intersections meet the minimum acceptable level of service planning thresholds in the shoulder hour the applicant may suggest feasible alternative mitigation such as: sidewalks, bike facilities, connectivity, safety improvements, etc. within 1.5 miles of the proposed development. o If the shoulder hour planning thresholds are exceeded the applicant may request to enter into a Development Agreement and pay into the Priority Corridor Fund an amount determined by the ACHD to offset impacts from the project. • Alternative Mitigation may also include: o Revision to the Phasing Plan to coincide with the District's future Capital Projects. o Reducing the scope and/or scale of the project. Level of Service Planning Thresholds: District Policy 7206.4.1 states that, Level of Service Planning Thresholds have been established for principal arterials and minor arterials within ACHD's Capital Improvement Plan and are also listed in section 7106. Unless otherwise required to provide a Traffic Impact Study under section 7106, a proposed development with site traffic less than 10% of the existing downstream roadway or intersection peak hour traffic shall not be required to provide mitigation for a roadway or intersection that currently exceeds the minimum acceptable level of service planning threshold or V/C ratio. b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The TIS provided an analysis of a driveway onto Eagle Road and an analysis without the driveway onto Eagle Road under 2025 total traffic conditions. The TIS indicates that the roadway segment and the intersections in the study area are anticipated to operate at an acceptable level of service planning threshold under existing traffic, 2025 background traffic and 2025 total traffic conditions in the AM and PM peak hour with the exception of Eagle Road/Easy Jet Drive intersection. The TIS notes that the extension of Titanium Way into the site as a local street is anticipated to be below the 2,000 average daily trips threshold. The TIS recommends mitigation measures for the Eagle Road/Easy Jet Drive intersection to mitigate existing traffic, 2025 background traffic and 2025 total traffic conditions. The percentage of site generated traffic under 2025 total traffic conditions for this intersection is 4% for the AM and PM peak hour. 4 DRAFT Artisan Victory Market/ MPP22-0020 / H-2022-0066 Eagle Road/Easy Jet Drive The TIS indicates that with access onto Eagle Road that the only failing lane group is the eastbound through/left-turn lane in the AM peak hour under existing traffic and 2025 background traffic conditions. The TIS indicates without access onto Eagle Road that the failing lane groups are the eastbound through/left-turn lane in the AM peak hour and the westbound through/left-turn lane in the PM peak hours under 2025 total traffic conditions. The TIS recommends restriping the eastbound and westbound approaches of the intersection to have a shared through/right-turn lane and a left-turn lane to mitigate existing traffic, 2025 background traffic and 2025 total traffic conditions. Additionally, the TIS indicates that lengthening the existing left-turn lane on East Jet Drive would provide mitigation measures to include road widening or installing dual left-turn lanes which is not feasible in this location and the site does not add any vehicle trips to the eastbound approach of the Eagle Road/Easy Jet Drive intersection. This intersection is located offsite and is not scheduled for improvements in ACHD's IFYWP or CIP. In addition, the proposed site traffic at this intersection will be less than 10% of the 2025 total traffic conditions. Therefore, consistent with District policy 7205.3.1 Level of Service Planning Threshold, which states, a proposed development with site traffic less than 10% of the existing downstream roadway or intersection peak hour traffic shall not be required to provide mitigation; no improvements are required at this intersection for the road segments that are within ACHD right-of-way. Site Access Evaluation: Site Access A, onto Eagle Road, a proposed full access driveway located 675-feet south of Easy Jet Drive and 960-feet north of Victory Road and in alignment with Mackay Drive on the west side of Eagle Road across from the site. The TIS notes that this driveway is anticipated to operate acceptably as a full movement driveway, meets spacing requirements from a signalized intersection, is needed to provide improved connectivity to the development amenities and commercial facilities and to the commercial area located directly adjacent to the south of the site.Additionally, the TIS notes that without this access, the daily traffic on Titanium Avenue from Easy Jet Drive and Victory Road will not exceed the allowable 2,000 trips. As noted in the study, the proposed driveway is to provide connectivity to the development amenities and the commercial. District policy requires driveways to operate as right-in/right-out only, if approved, on a principal arterial and that access shall be taken from a lesser classified street. However, staff recommends approval of the driveway location as a temporary full access, as it does provide direct commercial traffic access to the site, with fewer impacts to the residential portion of the development. There are 4 proposed driveways onto Titanium Avenue, a proposed local street, located 309, 460-feet and 586-feet north of Publisher Street and one in alignment with Publisher Street (measured centerline-to-centerline). These driveways were not evaluated as part of the TIS; however, the TIS indicates there are no driveway spacing requirements on a local street. Although the TIS indicates there are no spacing requirements on local roadways, District Spacing Near Intersections policy requires driveways onto a local street to be located a minimum of 75-feet from a local street intersection and 150-feet from the nearest collector or arterial street intersection. Staff recommends approval of the 4 proposed driveway locations as they meet District policy. 5 DRAFT Artisan Victory Market/ MPP22-0020 / H-2022-0066 3. Condition of Area Roadways Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per our VPH Roadway Frontage Functional PM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour Classification Traffic Count Level of Service Eagle Road 790-feet Principal Arterial 1,334 Better Than "E" Easy Jet None Collector 73 Better than "D" • Acceptable level of service for a five-lane principal arterial is "E" (1,780 VPH). • Acceptable level of service for a two-lane collector is "D" (425 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 Eagle Road north of Easy Jet Drive was 24,256 on July 21, 2020. • The average daily traffic count for Easy Jet Drive east of Eagle Road was 1,477 on November 16, 2022. C. Findings for Consideration 1. Eagle Road a. Existing Conditions: Eagle Road is improved with 5-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and 7- foot wide attached concrete sidewalk. There is 96-feet of right-of-way for Eagle Road (48-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 District 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. 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 6 DRAFT Artisan Victory Market/ MPP22-0020 / H-2022-0066 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. 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 features required through development. This segment of Eagle Road is designated in the MSM as a Residential Arterial with 5-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 72-foot street section within 100-feet of right-of-way. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any street improvements to Eagle Road abutting the site. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Eagle Road is fully improved; therefore, no additional right-of-way dedication or street improvements are required as part of this application. Consistent with District Minor Improvements policy, the applicant should be required to repair or replace any damaged or deteriorated portions of vertical curb, gutter and sidewalk on Eagle Road abutting the site. 2. Internal Local Streets a. Existing Conditions: There are no local streets within the site. There are three local streets that stub to the site located as follows: Titanium Avenue stubs to the site's north and south property lines and is improved to the north with 2-travel lanes, 29-feet of pavement, curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk and to the south with 2-travel lanes, 29-feet of pavement, vertical curb, gutter and 5- foot wide detached concrete sidewalk. There is 47-feet of right-of-way for both segments of Titanium Avenue abutting the site. Publisher Street stubs to the site's east property line and is improved with 2-travel lanes, 32- feet of pavement, curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide attached sidewalk. There is 50-feet of right-of- way for Publisher Street abutting 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. The 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. 7 DRAFT Artisan Victory Market/ MPP22-0020 / H-2022-0066 • 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 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. 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's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to extend the three street stubs into the site and construct the internal local streets as 33-foot wide street sections with curb, gutter, a 7-foot wide planter strip and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to extend the three stub streets into the site and construct the internal local streets as 33-foot wide street sections with curb, gutter, a 7-foot wide planter strip and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. If street trees are desired, then provide an 8-foot wide planter strip. The applicant should be required to dedicate right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk, or for detached sidewalk, the applicant may reduce the right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of curb and provide a permanent right-of-way easement that extends from the right-of-way line to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk. Sidewalk shall be located wholly within the right-of-way or wholly within an easement. 3. Roadway Offsets a. Existing Conditions: There are no roadways within the site. b. Policy: 8 DRAFT Artisan Victory Market/ MPP22-0020 / H-2022-0066 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). c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the internal local streets to align or offset by a minimum of 125-feet. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. 4. Driveways 4.1 Eagle Road a. Existing Conditions: There are five existing driveways from the site onto Eagle Road located 676, 547, 347 and 170-feet north of Moon Dipper Street and one driveway located in alignment with Moon Dipper Street (measured centerline-to-centerline). 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. 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 1 b 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. Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 requires driveways located on principal arterial roadways to be located a minimum of 400-feet from the nearest intersection for a right- in/right-out only driveway. Full-access driveways are not allowed on principal arterial roadways. Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.7 Table 1 b, requires driveways located on principal arterial roadways with a speed limit of 40 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 400-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 developer shall be responsible for providing a financial guarantee for the future closure of the driveway. 9 DRAFT Artisan Victory Market/ MPP22-0020 / H-2022-0066 Cross Access Easements/Shared Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.1 states that cross access utilizes a single vehicular connection that serves two or more adjoining lots or parcels so that the driver does not need to re-enter the public street system. 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's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to close the five existing driveways onto Eagle Road with landscaping. The applicant is proposing to construct a 36-foot wide curb return full access driveway with a center landscape island onto Eagle Road in alignment with Mackay Drive on the west side of Eagle Road across from the site. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to close the five existing driveways onto Eagle Road with landscaping does not meet District Minor Improvements policy which requires the replacement of unused driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk. The applicant should be required to close the five existing driveways onto Eagle Road located 676, 547, 347 and 170-feet north of Moon Dipper Street and one driveway located in alignment with Moon Dipper Street with vertical curb, gutter and 7-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk to tie into the existing improvements on either side. The applicant's proposal to construct a 36-foot wide curb return full access driveway with a center landscape island onto Eagle Road does not meet District Access policy which requires driveways, if approved, to operate as right-in/right-out only on a principal arterial and that access shall be taken from a lesser classified street. However, staff recommends approval of the driveway location as a temporary full access, as it does provide direct commercial traffic access to the site, with fewer impacts to the residential portion of the development. The driveway may be restricted with a median at any time as determined by ACHD. Locate the center landscape island outside of the right-of-way. 5. Private Roads 5.1 Titanium Avenue a. Existing Conditions: There are no private roads within the site. b. Policy: 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. 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. 10 DRAFT Artisan Victory Market/ MPP22-0020 / H-2022-0066 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 Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct three 26-foot wide curb return type private roads/drive aisles onto the west side of Titanium Avenue located 309 and 586-feet north of Publisher Street and one in alignment with Publisher Street (measured centerline-to- centerline). The applicant is proposing to construct a 25-foot wide private road/drive aisle onto the east side of Titanium Avenue located 460-feet north of Publisher Street (measured centerline-to- centerline). d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct three 26-foot wide private roads/drive aisles onto the west side of Titanium Avenue and a 25-foot wide private road/drive aisle onto the east side of Titanium Avenue meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. If the City of Meridian approves the private roads, the applicant shall be required to pave the private roadways their full widths 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 names 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 this road for public ownership and maintenance. The following requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the roadway to ACHD: • Dedicate a minimum of 50-feet of right-of-way for the road. • Construct the roadway to the minimum ACHD requirements. • Construct a stub street to the surrounding parcels. 6. Traffic Calming Speed Control and Traffic Calming Policy: District policy 7207.3.7 states that the design of local street systems should discourage excessive speeds by using passive design elements. If the design or layout of a development is anticipated to necessitate future traffic calming implementation by the District, then the District will require changes to the layout and/or the addition of passive design elements such as horizontal curves, bulb-outs, chokers, etc. The District will also consider texture changes to the roadway surface (i.e. stamped concrete) as a 11 DRAFT Artisan Victory Market/ MPP22-0020 / H-2022-0066 passive design element. These alternative methods may require maintenance and/or license agreement. a. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to extend Titanium Avenue into the site creating a roadway that is greater than 750-feet in length. b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant should be required to redesign Titanium Avenue to reduce the length of the roadway or include the use of passive design elements. The ultimate location(s) and design will be determined during plan review by Development Review staff. Stop signs, speed humps/bumps and valley gutters will not be accepted as traffic calming. 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.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1. Project Description This report documents a traffic impact study for the proposed Modern Craftsman Eagle Road mixed-use development located northeast of Eagle Road and Victory Road in the Meridian, Ada County, Idaho. The proposed Modern Craftsman Eagle Road mixed-use development includes 48 single-family (detached) units, 88 single-family (attached) units, 6 multifamily units, 8,700 square feet of commercial, and a 2,400 square-foot residential clubhouse. The project is anticipated to be completed in 2025. Access to the mixed-use development is proposed via one access on Eagle Road and four accesses to Titanium Avenue that will connect to Easy Jet Drive to the north and Victory Road to the south. As requested by ACHD, two access scenarios are evaluated in this TIS: with and without access to Eagle Road. The access on Eagle Road is proposed to be a full movement access. The purpose of this traffic impact study is to identify trip generation characteristics of the proposed development, evaluate traffic related impacts on the adjacent street system, and recommend measures to mitigate impacts. Study area intersections and roadway segments are shown in Figure ES-1. 1.2. Findings 1.2.1. Trip Generation The proposed development is expected to generate 1694 new daily trips, with 120 new trips occurring in the AM peak hour and 157 trips occurring in the PM peak hour. 1.2.2. Analysis Findings and Recommendations At the request of ACHD two access scenarios were be reviewed. The first, with direct access to Eagle Road also includes four accesses to Titanium Avenue that will connect to Easy Jet Drive to the north and Victory Road to the south. The access on Eagle Road is proposed to be a full movement access. The second access scenario eliminates the Eagle Road access and uses only Titanium Avenue for direct site access. An operational analysis summary for all analyzed scenarios is shown in Table ES-1. Analysis findings and mitigations are presented in Table ES-2. 093701001 Modern Craftsman Eagle Road—Traffic Impact Study Modern Craftsman Eagle Road_TIS.docx August 2022 Page 5 r a` • - ■ -- ..
