The following improvement is scheduled in the District's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
• Franklin Road between Eagle Road and Cloverdale Road is scheduled to be widened to 7-
lanes in 11 to 20 years.
B. Findinqs for Consideration
1. Traffic Impact Study
A tra~c impact study for Meridian Gateway was prepared by Horrocks Engineers. Below is a
summary of the findings.
o The Meridian Gateway Development is planned to be located south of Franklin Road
and east of Eagle Road in Meridian, Idaho. The intersections counted were Eagle
Road/Franklin Road, Eagle Road/St. Lukes Drive, and Touchmark Way/Franklin Road.
o The Meridian Gateway consists of approximately 160,000 sq. ft. of general offices, ,
75,000 sq. ft. of inedical offices, 34,000 sq. ft. of retailers and one hotel.
o The site proposes one right-in/right-out only access on Eagle Road, one full access on
Franklin Road and one full access on St. Luke's Drive. Under full build conditions the
development is expected to generate 7,210 new daily trips. Of these trips 449 will occur
during the AM peak hour and 685 will occur during the PM peak hour.
o During the existing AM peak hour the Eagle Road/Franklin Road intersection operates at
LOSC and Eagle Road/St. Luke's Drive and Franklin Road/Touchmark Way
intersections operate at LOS B. During the existing PM peak hour the Eagle
Road/Franklin Road intersection operates at LOS D, the intersection of Eagle Road/St.
Luke's Drive operates at LOS C, and the intersection of Franklin Road/Touchmark Way
operates at LOS B.
3 Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision
o After traffic generated by the project is added to the roadway nefinrork the study
intersection of Eagle Road/Franklin Road experience an increase in delay and will
operate at LOS E during the PM peak hour. The intersection of Eagle Road/St. Luke's
Drive operates at LOS C. The Franklin RoadlTouchmark Way intersection is expected
to operate at LOS B.
o The proposed Meridian Gateway is anticipated to impact traffic operating on adjacent
roadways. However, the roadway and intersection improvements listed below will
substantially mitigate the impacts and provide adequate traffic safety and operations on
both Eagle Road and Franklin Road. The following recommendations are given:
^ The intersection of Eagle Road/Franklin Road may be reconstructed with three
northbound thru lanes in the future. When and if this occurs, an exclusive right
turn lane in the northbound direction of travel will be required. Right-of-way
should be preserved for this future improvement.
^ The intersection of Eagle Road/Franklin Road should also include an exclusive
right turn lane in the westbound direction of travel. This may occur as part of a
future roadway improvement project.
^ The development should provide exclusive right-turn and left-turn outbound lanes
and exclusive right-turn and left turn inbound lanes at all projected access to
improvement to improved traffic operations. Left turn lanes are not required at
the right-in/right-out access.
o The intersection of Eagle Road/St. Luke's Drive may need to be reconstructed with
exclusive right turn lanes for the westbound and northbound direction of travel. Right-of-
way should be preserved for this future improvement (to be completed by the developers
of the south-west corner of the site).
o No additional off-site mitigations are required to provide adequate traffic operations.
o With the recommended mitigations it is expected that all study intersections will operate
at LOS D or better with the exception of the Eagle Road/Franklin Road intersection.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: Staff comments are provided by District Traffic Services Staff.
• Field observations indicate that the intersection of Eagle/Franklin and Eagle/St. Luke's
operate worse than LOS D and C respectively in the PM peak hour and LOS B and C in the
AM peak hour. While the TIS does not give the HCM output, it is suspected that this is
because they set the initial unmet demand to 0 which is the default. This value assumes
that all vehicles in the queue make it through the intersection on the green phase. In reality,
both of these intersections back up'/z to 1 mile during peak hours and should be reflected in
the initial unmet demand values. This would affect the analysis for the build-out year as
well.
• ITD has no plans to construct three northbound lanes as the TIS suggests.
• ACHD does not have any plans to add an eastbound right turn lane as the TIS suggests.
• Split phasing of the signal at St. Luke's/Eagle Road intersection as the TIS suggests will not
happen due to the excessive delay it would create.
4 Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision
• The pass-by and internal capture percentages are consistent with ITE procedures.
2. Eagle Road
Staff Comment/Recommendation: Eagle Road is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho
Transportation Department (ITD). The applicant, the City of Meridian, and ITD should work
together to determine if additional right-of-way or improvements are necessary on Eagle Road.
3. Franklin Road
Right-of-Way Policy: 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.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete
sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to dedicate additional right-of-way along
Franklin Road abutting the site.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant will be required to dedicate 60-feet of right-of-
way from the centerline Franklin Road abutting the site. The 60-feet of right-of-way will
accommodate the road widening project scheduled in the District's Capital Improvement Program.
The applicant will not be required to construct a sidewalk with this application, as it already exists.
Franklin Road between Eagle Road and Touchmark Way is on a 5-year no cut moratorium until
2010, due to its reconstruction in 2005. Submit all pavement cut requests to Chuck Rinaldi at 387-
6258. Additionally, Franklin Road is scheduled to be chip-sealed in 2007. Any work (pre-approved
though cut panel) will need to be completed prior to the chip-seal operation or contact District
Maintenance and Operations to the delay the chip-seal process.
4. Internal Streets
Right-of-Way Policy: District policy requires 54-feet of right-of-way on industrial/commercial
roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 3-lane roadway with
curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks.
40-foot Street Section Policy: District policy 7202.8 and 72-F1A, 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.
Applicant Proposal (Internal streets): The applicant is proposing to construct the internal streets
as a 40-foot street section with two 20-foot travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot concrete
sidewalks within 54-feet of right-of-way. One of the new internal streets (E. Louise Drive) is
proposed to tie into existing E. Louise Drive, a stub street which was constructed as part of
Touchmark Living Center Subdivision. This roadway connection provide access to the signal at
Touchmark and Franklin Road.
The applicant has proposed to tie into one other existing loop roadway (N. Montvue Drive), located
approximately 340-feet east of the west property line (measured property line to centerline). The
loop road (N. Montvue Drive) is then proposed to terminate with a temporary turnaround easement
on lot 2. The section of N. Montvue Drive located north of the temporary turnaround is proposed to
be vacated, approximately 220-linear feet.
5 Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision
Additionally, the applicant has proposed vacate or exchange segments of the existing right-of-way
for N. Montvue Drive to accommodate the development. The vacation or exchange of the existing
right-of-way will allow the applicant to construct new roadways needed to serve the development
(see Exhibit A & B).
The applicant is no longer proposing to tie into an existing loop roadway (N. Montvue Drive).
Instead the applicant is proposing to take all site access from the finro new roadways being
constructed to serve the development (E. Louise Drive and N. Montvue Park Drive).
The applicant has proposed vacate or exchange all of the existing right-of-way for N. Montvue Drive
to accommodate the development. The vacation or exchange of the existing right-of-way will allow
the applicant to construct new roadways needed to serve the development (see Exhibit A& B).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposals meet District policy. The applicant
will be required to submit a vacation application for the existing right-of-way to be vacated or
exchanged OR improve the right-of-way to current public street standards. The vacation/exchange
process is separate and distinct from this process and staff does not guarantee the outcome of that
process as it relates to this current proposal.
The applicant's proposals meet District policy. The applicant will be required to submit a vacation
application for the existing right-of-way to be vacated or exchanged OR improve the right-of-way to
current public street standards. The vacation/exchange process is separate and distinct from this
process and staff does not guarantee the outcome of that process as it relates to this current
proposal.
5. Roadway Offsets
Roadway Offset Policy: 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).
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from
another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed one roadway (E. Louise Drive) to intersect Eagle
Road located approximately 200-feet north of the south property line (measured property line to
centerline). This roadway would be restricted to right-in/right-out due to the recently installed
concrete median on Eagle Road.The applicant has proposed to construct one roadway to intersect
Franklin Road located approximately 360-feet west of the east property line (measured property line
to centerline).
Staff Comment/Recommendation: Eagle Road is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho
Transportation Department (ITD). The applicant should coordinate ITD to determine the exact
location of access on to Eagle Road.
The applicant's proposal to allow one roadway (N. Montvue Park Dr.) to intersect Franklin Road
meets District policy. During the pre-application meeting, ACHD staff agreed to a left-in/right-
in/right-out only at this intersection. The applicant will be required to design a median to restrict this
roadway to left-in/right-in/right-out only and will be required to coordinate the design with District
Traffic Service staff.
6. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Width Interim Policy prohibits all trees in planters
less than 6-feet in width. In addition to prohibiting trees in planters less than 6-feet in width, the
policy requires a minimum planter width of 6-feet for class II tress with the installation of root
barriers on both sides of the planter strip or a minimum planter width of 8-feet without the
6 Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision
installation of a root barrier. The policy also requires Class I and Class III trees to provide a
minimum planter width of 10-feet.
7. Other Access
Eagle Road and Franklin Road are classified as principal arterial roadways. Other than the access
specifically approved with this application, direct lot access is prohibited to these roadways and
should be noted on the final plat.
C. Special Notice to the Citv of Meridian
All of the identified roadway and transportation mitigation proposals in the submitted Traffic Impact
Study are either not in any public agency plans to construct (ACHD & ITD) or proposed by the
applicant to be constructed. Therefore, the impacts of this development cannot be adequately
mitigated and surrounding intersections will not operate at an acceptable level of service.
D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
