7. Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site
Overland Road is currently improved with 5 -traffic lanes with vertical curb, gutter and sidewalk
abutting the site.
8. Existing Right -of -Way
Overland Road has a total of 96 -feet of right-of-way (48 -feet from centerline).
9. Site History
On October 25, 2004, the District reviewed and approved a lot split application (MMI -04-013) on this
parcel. The District did not place any requirements on the lot -split application due to the fact that the
District would have the opportunity to review a certificate of zoning compliance or preliminary plat
application when the two parcels developed in the future.
10. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program
Overland Road from Locust Grove Road to Eagle Road was reconstructed in 2004.
B. Findings for Consideration
Overland Road - Right -of -Way and Street Improvements
District policy requires 96 -feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way
allows for the construction of a 5 -lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5 -foot concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes.
District policy requires 7 -foot wide attached (or 5 -foot detached) concrete sidewalk on all collector
roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
2
Overland Road was reconstructed in 2004 to provide 5 -traffic lanes with vertical curb, gutter and
sidewalk abutting the site. Due to the fact that Overland Road has sufficient right-of-way and has
been fully improved, the District will not acquire any additional right-of-way or street improvements at
this time.
2. Roadway Offsets
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300 -feet from an
arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
The applicant is proposing to construct Millenium Way to intersect the north side of Overland Road in
alignment with Millenium Way on the south side of Overland Road. This roadway location meets
District policy in regard to location and should be approved with this application.
The applicant is proposing to construct Celebration Avenue to intersect the north side of Overland
Road in alignment with Celebration Avenue on the south side of Overland Road. This roadway
location meets District policy in regard to location and should be approved with this application.
3. Internal Roadways — Street Sections
District policy 7202.8 and 72-F1 B, requires roadways abutting commercial developments to be
constructed as a 40 -foot street section with curb, gutter and 5 -foot concrete sidewalk within 54 -feet of
right-of-way.
The applicant is proposing to construct the internal roadways as 40 -foot street sections with vertical
curb, gutter and 5 -foot concrete sidewalks within 54 -feet of right-of-way. This street section meets
District policy and should be approved with this application.
4. Stub Streets
District policy 7203.5.1 states that the street design in a proposed development shall cause no undue
hardship to adjoining property. An adequate and convenient access to adjoining property for use in
future development may be required. If a street ends at the development boundary, it shall meet the
requirements of sub section 7205, "non -continuous streets."
District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be required to provide intra -neighborhood circulation
or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the requirements
described in Section 7204.5, 7204.6 and 7204.7, 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, a stub
street must meet the following conditions:
1. A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the street intersection and drain surface
water toward that intersection, unless a satisfactory storm drain system is installed.
2. The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will
remain free of obstructions.
The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street to the east property line approximately 470 -feet
north of Overland Road. This stub street is anticipated to serve the 18.75 -acre site that is located
directly to the east with a public roadway access and will also provide this parcel with access to a
signalized intersection in the future. Staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal to provide a stub
street to the east property line. Due to the fact that the stub street is greater than 150 -feet in depth,
the applicant should construct a temporary turnaround at the terminus of the roadway. The applicant
should also install a sign at the terminus of the stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE
EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".

5. Signal
In 2004, the District reconstructed Overland Road abutting this site. When the roadway was
reconstructed, the District installed three legs of the Overland Road Millenium Way intersection. The
applicant is proposing to construct Millenium Way to intersect the north side of Overland Road in
alignment with Millenium Way on the south side of Overland Road. In order to accomplish the
alignment of the roadways, the applicant will be required to complete some signal modifications.
Typically the applicant is responsible for all of the design and construction of new signals (or a portion
thereof). In an effort to coordinate with the applicant, the District has agreed to provide the applicant
with some assistance in regard to the intersection improvements. The applicant will be responsible
for the design and installation of all of the new poles, mast arms, signal heads, pedestrian heads and
push buttons. The District has agreed to allow the applicant to remove the existing signal equipment
at the Overland Road and Millenium Way intersection and return the equipment to the District. The
applicant will receive a credit for the returned materials and will be able to apply that credit toward the
purchase of new signal materials that will be purchased from the District.
The applicant should submit the Overland Road and Millenium Way intersection design plans to the
District's Traffic Services Staff for review and approval. The applicant should also coordinate the
exchange of the old signal equipment with the District's Traffic Services Staff.
The applicant should enter into a Signal Cooperative Development Agreement regarding the design
and construction of the signal at Overland Road and Millenium Way. The applicant should submit the
Overland Road and Millenium Way intersection design plans for review and approval. The Signal
Cooperative Development Agreement will provide for the exchange of the old signal equipment with
the District.
6. Storm Drain Easement
ACHD currently owns a storm drainage easement that was purchased with the intent that the land
would be utilized in the future as a drainage pond for the Overland Road improvements that were
recently constructed in 2004. In November of 2004, the applicant of the Boise Valley Commons
Subdivision approached ACHD with regard to the relocation of the future drainage pond. The
applicant proposed to exchange the existing ACHD storm drainage easement for a new storm
drainage easement that would be relocated within the proposed commercial subdivision. ACHD staff
(Design, Drainage, Right -of -Way and Development) notified the applicant that the release of
easement would be feasible if the applicant to provide the District with:
• A storm drainage easement that is equal to or greater in value and size than the previous
parcel
• Drainage calculations and drawings showing that the newly proposed storm drainage
easement will have a capacity that is equal to or greater in storage area than the previous
parcel and will function at a level that is equal to or greater than what the District had originally
designed
• Adequate access to the parcel
The applicant should continue to work with District staff regarding this issue.
If the applicant chooses to landscape the storm drainage easement, the applicant shall obtain a
license agreement for all landscaping that is proposed within the easement. The applicant will be not
be allowed to plant any trees, deep rooted shrubs or bushes, etc. within the unopened right-of-way or
storm drain easement. The applicant is required to have all landscape and sprinkler plans reviewed
and approved by the ACHD Drainage Division.
The applicant has also approached District staff in regard to the installation of a storm drainage pipe
that would extend from Overland Road to the storm drainage pond that is proposed to be located at
the parcels north property line. The applicant should enter into a Cooperative Development
Agreement with the District regarding the installation and allocation of costs of the proposed storm
drain pipe that will be adjacent to the east property line and will extend from Overland Road to the
4
ACHD storm water drainage pond. The Cooperative Development Agreement will need to be
executed prior to ACHD acceptance of the development's street improvement plans and prior to
scheduling the final plat for signature by the ACHD Commission.
7. Other Access
Overland Road is classified as a minor arterial. Other than the two public streets that have
specifically been approved with this application, direct lot access to Overland Road is prohibited. A
note stating the access restrictions shall be noted on the final plat.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
Construct Millenium Way to intersect the north side of Overland Road in alignment with Millenium
Way on the south side of Overland Road, as proposed.
2. Construct Celebration Avenue to intersect the north side of Overland Road in alignment with
Celebration Avenue on the south side of Overland Road, as proposed.
3. Construct the internal roadways as 40 -foot street sections with vertical curb, gutter and 5 -foot
concrete sidewalks within 54 -feet of right-of-way, as proposed.
4. Construct a stub street to the east property line approximately 470 -feet north of Overland Road, as
proposed. Construct a temporary turnaround at the terminus of the stub street and install a sign at
the terminus of the stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE".
5. Enter into a Signal Cooperative Development Agreement regarding the design and construction of
the signal at Overland Road and Millenium Way. Submit the Overland Road and Millenium Way
intersection design plans to District Staff for review and approval.
6. Enter into a Cooperative Development Agreement regarding the installation and allocation of costs of
the proposed storm drain pipe that will be adjacent to the east property line and will extend from
Overland Road to the ACHD storm water drainage pond. The Cooperative Development Agreement
shall be executed by both parties prior to plans approval and scheduling of the final plat for signature
by the ACHD Commission.
7. Other than the two public streets that have specifically been approved with this application, direct lot
access to Overland Road is prohibited. A note stating the access restrictions shall be required on the
final plat.
