7. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program
There are currently no roadways, bridges or intersections in the general vicinity of the project that are
currently in the Five Year Work Program. The following improvements are scheduled in the District's
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
• The intersection of Linder and McMillan Roads is scheduled to be widened to 6-lanes on the
north/south legs, four lanes on the east/west legs and signalized between 2013 and 2017.
• Linder Road from Ustick Road to Chinden Blvd is schedule to be widened to 5-lanes in 6 to 10
years.
• McMillan Road from Black Cat to Meridian Road is scheduled to be widened to 3-lanes in 11
to 20 years.
Staff Comment/Recommendations: Developers in the area have entered into a development
agreement with the Highway District for the widening and signalization of the Linder/McMillan
intersection. The construction is planned to begin in winter 2008. The result of this agreement is that the
intersection improvements in the District's Capital Improvement Plan will be completed ahead of the
schedule identified in the CIP.
B. Staff Comments/Recommendations
Consistent with the original application, the site will take access from finro driveways intersecting N.
Goddard Creek Way. N. Goddard Creek Way was constructed as a residential collector and is
adequate to provide access to and from the site. The submitted traffic impact study estimated 2,596
vehicle trips per day on N. Goddard Creek Way at full build-out near the multi-family site. Of the
estimated 2,596 vehicle trips per day approximately 1,021 trips would be generated by the multi-family
units. This is consistent with District policy 7202.3.1 which states ADT for residential collector streets
typically ranges up to 2,000 vehicles per day, although higher volumes may occur in some instances,
particularly within 500-feet of an intersection with an arterial street.
As with the original proposal the applicant has proposed to construct two driveways to intersect N.
Goddard Creek Way to provide access to the site. The first driveway is proposed to be 26-feet in width
and located 420-feet (measured property line to near edge) north of McMillan Road in alignment with
Apgar Creek Road on the east side of Goddard Creek Way. The second driveway is proposed to be
20-feet in width and located 790-feet (measured property line to near edge) north of McMillan Road and
is proposed to be emergency access only. Access through this driveway will be restricted with
removable bollards. The locations of the proposed driveways were previously approved with Lochsa
Falls Subdivision in May 2002.
• Prior to final approval you will need to submit construction plans to the ACHD
Development Review Department to insure compliance with the conditions identified above
or for traffic impact fee assessment. This is a separate review process that requires direct
plans submittal to the Development Review staff at the Highway District.
~ A traffic impact fee will be assessed by ACHD and will be due prior to the issuance of a
building permit. Contact ACHD Planning & Development Services at 387-6170 for
information regarding impact fees.

A. Findings of Fact
1. Commission Action on May 22, 2002: This item was originally scheduled i the May 22,
2002 consent agenda. At the request of Greg Johnson, the item was rr~ved the regular
agenda for discussion regarding the location of Cayuse Creek Drive as it inte ects Linder
. Road. Mr. Johnson was requesting that the Commission require the applican to relocate
Cayuse Creek Drive to the south to align with a possible driveway/street for a ture high
school site on the east side of Linder Road. Mr. Johnson does not own the p ! that he
was reques#ing the street align with. The Commission approved the location f Cayuse
Creek Drive as proposed, and indicated that should the developer of Lochsa alis choose to
move the location of the street, then staff had the authority to approve a reloc tion of the
street, in accordance with District policy.
The applicant requested that the Commission approve a pathway on Cayuse reek Drive
from Linder Road to the traffic circle, in lieu of sidewalk on both sides of the ro way. The
Commission directed staff to work with the applicant on a possible altemative treet section
for that segment of roadway. The Commission noted that such an altemative ould require
a waiver of policy, and granted staff the authority to make such a waiver with t is
development. If staff and the developer cannot come to an agreement on an ltemative
section, then the standard requirement~ as noted in this staff report, will not be changed.
2. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 12,480 addition~l vehicle trips.
per day (20 existing) based on the submitted traffic study.
3. Traffic Impact Study: A tra~c impact study was required with this application~ The
following is a summary of the findings:
This Development is projected to be built-out by the year 2010. The foll wing are the
principal findings and recommendations of the study as provided by the Traffc Engineer, and
reviewed by the ACHD Transportation Engineer:
~ As a result of the build-out~ traffic on the vicinity roadways is expect to increase
as follows: traffic on Ten Mile Road and Linder Road may increase e ch by 1,248
vpd; traffic on Chinden Boulevard may increase by 3,495 vpd; traffic n McMillan
Road may increase by 2,746 vpd.
• The North Meridian Study expects a trip capture up to 10% within ea h 1 square
mile section. As more non-residential uses are developed within T4 R1 W
Section 26, 10% of the site-generated trips will be refained within the section. For
the purposes of this report, 90qo of the project trip generation is used for
assignment on the arterial roads and 10% is retained within the secti n.
• Background traffic for the year 2010 was obtained by factoring the e isting traffic
and adding the traffic from Bridgetower and the Keltic Heights devel ments. The
existing traffic was projected at an annuai growth factor of 2% on Te Mile Road
and Linder Road, and 1% on Chinden Boufevard. This was obtained from the
North Meridian Area Study.

~ ~
• Existing Traffic Volumes on site vicinity were obtained from the North~ Area
Meridian Traffic Study published by WtS: ~
• The Chinden Boulevard Corridor Study completed on June 21, 1999 hows
Chinden Bivd. between Ten Mile Road and Linder Road with three a cess points
per side per miie. The intersection at Linder Road is signalized. Th intersection
at Ten Mile Road is controtled by a 2-way stop sign.
• The overall intersection of Linder Road and Chinden Boulevard (sign I controlled)
is currently operating at a LOS F with a delay of 100 seconds. At bui d-out of the
Lochsa site, the intersection will continue to operate at LOS F with a elay of 220
seconds.
• The overail intersection of Linder Road and McMillan Road (4-way st p controiled)
is currentty operating at a LOS B with a delay of 19 seconds. At buil -out of the
Lochsa site, the intersection is projected to operate at a LOS F with delay of 153
seconds.
• At the Ten Mile Road/McMillan Road intersection (2-way stop oontrol ), under
current conditions, McMiilan is projected to operate a lOS B or bette with a delay
of 11 seconds or better. At build-out of the Lochsa site, Ten Mile is p jected to
operate a LOS F with a delay of 83 seconds.
• At the Ten Mile/Chinden Boulevard intersection (2-way stop controlt ), under
current conditions, Ten Mile is projected to operate at LOS C or bette with a delay
of 18 seconds or better. At build-out of the Lochsa site~ Ten Mile is p jected to
operate at a LOS F with a delay of 203 seconds.
• All of the site access intersections operate at an acceptable level of s~rvice with
acceptable vehicular delays.
• The intersection of McMillan Road/ Linder Road marginally meets the peak hour
signal warrant for the existing no-build traffic conditions. The interse 'on witt
continue to meet the peak hour signal warrant for the 2010 build out t affic
conditions. A detailed analysis will be needed when projected traffic oiumes are
reached before instailing a signat. With or without a signal installatio , the
intersection needs to be improved with widening of all four approache .
• Chinden Boulevard requires center teft tum lanes and right tum decel~ration lanes
for traffic turning into the site at both access intersections.
• Linder Road requires center left turn lanes and right tum deceleration~ lanes for
traffic tuming into the site at both access intersections.
__ ~ _
` ~ .
• McMillan Raad requires center left tum lanes for traffic tuming into th site at its
access intersection. McMillan Road requires right tum deceleration I ne for traffic
tuming into the site at the roadway intersection.
• Linder Road, McMillan Road, and Ten Mile Road have adequate exi ing capacity
to handle the traffic from Lochsa project at build out. These roads ill not have
adequate capacity to handle the build out of the 12-square mile orth
Meridian Planning Area at 2020. Any improvements on these road ays should
be based on the recommendations of the North Meridian Traffic Stud .
• Chinden Boulevard wili nearly be at capacity to handle the traific fro the Lochsa
project. Chinden Bivd. wiil not have adequate capacity to handle the build out of
the 12-square mile North Meridian Planning Area at 2020. Chinden ivd. should
be improved based on the recommendations for the North Mericlian a Traffic
Study.
• The Chinden Bivd./Linder Road intersection needs to be improved w' h widening of
all four approaches for acceptable operation. The widening should i lude
additional through lanes on Chinden Bivd and left tum lanes on Lind r Road.
Additional right tum lanes are optional, but will further improve the int rsection
operation. Any improvements on these roadways should be based o the
recommendations of the North Meridian Traffic Study.
The Chinden Blvd./Ten Mile Road intersection needs to be improved ith widening
of the northbound approach for acceptable operation. This widening hould
include a left tum lane on Ten Mile Road. A detailed analysis will be eeded when
the projected traffic votumes are reached before installing a signaf. A y
improvements on these roadways should be based on th~ recommen ations of the
North Meridian Traffic Study.
• With or without a signal installation, Linder Road/McMillan Road inte ection needs
widening on all four approaches. Center left tum should be construct at this
intersection before signal installation. Any improvements on these ro ays
should be based on the recommendations of the North Meridian Tra Study.
The Ten Mile Road/McMillan Road intersection needs to be improved with
widening of the westbound approach for acceptable operation. The ' ening
should include an additional left tum lane on McMillan Road. Any imp vements on
these roadways should be based on the recommendations of the No h Meridian
Tra~c Study.
• The Chinden Blvd./East Access intersection meets the peak hour sig at warrant
for the 2010 site build out scenario. If a right turn lane on the access pproach
and an acceleration lane on Chinden Blvd. are provided, the effect on the right
tuming traffic from the accesses can be eliminated and consequently he
intersection will not meet the peak hour signal warrant. If a signal mu t be
4
~ .
installed, the west access should be signalized and the traffic from tl~e east access
be diverted to the west access intersection. ~
• Most of the intemal streets have daily traffic projections lower than 1 v~t, A
smail segment of an intemal street where the traffic projections exce 1000 vpd is
shown in Figure 7. Access to the residential lots should be design in
accordance with the ACHD's access requirements.
• The capacity analysis of the roundabout shows that it has adequate pacity to
accommodate the build out of the Lochsa Subdivision with an accep ble LOS,
and only minor delays.
Other Vicinitv Developments:
^ ACHD has approved Bridgetower Subdivision in 4N 1 W sections 26 and 35 for
construction. Traffic from Bridgetower Subdivision is included in the ba ground
traffic. A traffic impact study published by WIS on the Bridgetower Subd ision was
used to extract land use and trip generation characteristics of the devel ment. All
phases of Bridgetower are expected to be completed by 2010 and are i uded for
background traffic purposes.
^ ACHD had also approved Keltic Heights Subdivision in 4N 1 W section 2 for
construction. Tra~c from Keltic Heights subdivision is included~ in the b kground
traffic. A traffic study published by Dobie Engineering, Inc. on the Keltic eights
subdivision was used to extract land use and trip generation characteris cs of the
development. The development is expected to be fully developed by th year 2005.
^ The build out year for this study was assumed as 2010. Only the weekd y pm peak
hour period between 4-6 pm was analyzed so the site impacts. The stu y assumes
that the Ten Mile river crossing will not be complete until after 2010.

Meridian area. Many developers are prepared to plat entire section-miles, and h ve site plans
developed. The preliminary plans generally include 700 to 900 residentiai lots, s hools,
office/commercial lots, and city and neighborhood parks.

Due to the large number of inquiries in this area, staff and the development co munity
rea(ized that the potential for development in this area is extreme and the traffi impact
studies that each individual developer was submitting did not include the major surrounding
developmen#s that are "in the works". If staff examines each development indi idually, the
roadway system appears adequate, but when staff begins to add in a second o third large-
scale development, the tra~c capacities of these roadways (Ustick Road, McM Ilan Road~
Ten Mile Road~ Linder Road) reach their 2020 planning thresholds.
Based on development patterns in this area, and the concem surrounding the
roadways. ACHD hired Washington Group to conduct a traffic impact study of
northwestern Meridian area from Ustick Road to Chinden Boulevarri, and from
Road to one-half mile west of Black Cat Road.
One option for funding improving these roadways is the implementation of a~ e ra-ordinary
impact fee overlay district. Lochsa Falls Subdivision may also be subject to any extraordinary
fees that the District may impose.
The second phase of the study, the economic phase has been initiated and will focus on the
cost of the improvements deemed necessary by the study, including right-of-wa ~sts. The
outcome of the economic study has provided the District with an estimate of th costs to
improve the roadways in the North Meridian Planning Area to handle the traffic enerated by
the proposed developments in the area. This final estimated cost is not yet ava lable, as staff
is still reviewing street section options that may reduce the right-of-way costs.
The following Executive Summary is from the completed North Meridian Traffic~tudy. it
examines the improvements that are anticipated within the North Meridian Plan ing Area:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE NORTH MERIDIAN TRAFFIC STUDY
The proposed 12-square mile study area between US 20/26 and Ustick Roa and
between McDermott Road and Eagle Road (Sections 25-28, 33-36 of T4N 1 W and
sections 29-32 of T4N R1 E), is selected Ada County Highway District (ACH ) for
anticipated development build out. The following are the principal findings a d
recommendations of the study:
• By the year 2020 the study area is anticipated to develop an addi ional 17,599
dwelling units, 2,744,000 sq. ft of office buildings, 1~929,000 sq.ft. of r il buildings,
12 elementary schools, 2 senior high schoots, 2 junior high schools~ 3~260 sq, ft of
church buildings, and approximately 60 acres of park.
• The build out scenario of the study area is projected to generate an verage daily
tra~c (ADT) of 276,764 vehicies per day (vpd), of which the peak hou traffic (PHT)
will be 28~206 vehicles per hour (vph). Out of these trips approximatel 10% of the
trips remain internal within each section, and 6% of the trips are pass-by rips.
• The distri6ution of the traffic from all of the study area sections indicate that
approximately 30% traffic directed towards south, 27~0 of the traffic dir ed towarcls
east, 21 % of the traffic directed towards west and north. The remainin 22~0 of the
traffic is distributed within the study area.

• At build out, traffic on the arterials is expected to significantly increase (:
• All of the arterial intersections in the study area are currently operating
level of service of "C" or better.
• By the year 2020~ the majority of study intersections are projected to i

• A proportionate share of the impacts of the individual sections at eac
area arterial intersections is summarized in Table 6.
• Several mid-mile intersections may warrant traffic signals due to the I
traffic volume.

Staff recognizes that the amount of right-of-way dedicated with these impro
overwhelming, and that ACHD may not have the funds to purchase such a
of right-of-way. In this situation it is likely that impact fee offset agreements
to offset the amount of money that ACHD will pay out-of-pocket to acquire t
