10. Site History
On October 17, 2001, the District approved an annexation, rezone and preliminary plat application on
this site. The site was proposed to be rezoned from RUT to I-L and consist of 8-industrial lots. The
site was anticipated to generate 3,006 VTPD.
The City of Meridian denied the application for the $-lot industrial subdivision.
11. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was required with this application. The study was
completed by Washington Group International. The fallowing is a summary of the
conclusions/recommendations from the submitted traffic impact study.
The proposed McNelis Subdivision development is projected to generate an average daily traffic
(ADT) of 2,678 vehicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour traffic (PHT) is projected to be 327
vehicles per hour (vph). Due to the nature of the development, a percentage of these trips would
be pass-by trips that would be present regardless of the development. New trip percentages
were determined based on the newly approved Ada County Highway District policy manual.
Using these percentages, the new trips that would be added to the existing roadways are 2,3$2
vpd, with 293 vehicle trips in the p.m. peak hour.
2. The development proposes one full-access driveway approach and one public street approach
onto Ustick Raad, and one public street approach, one full-access driveway approach, and one
right-in right-out driveway approach to Ten Mile Road. At the build out year of 2007 the
approaches are projected to operate well under capacity.
3. All access locations conform with the Ada County Highway District policy manual.
4. The Ada County Highway District's requirements for right-turn bays and left-turn bays were used
to evaluate the need for right and left-turn lanes at the site accesses. Based on these findings,
none of the site approaches require separate left-turn lanes. A special radius is warranted at the
Ten Mile Road/McNelis Drive approach for southbound right-turning vehicles, and aright-turn
lane is required at the Ustick Road/Burley Avenue approach. No other approaches warranted
right-turn treatments.
5. A capacity analysis for the Ustick Road/Ten Mile Road intersection for the 2011 build-out scenario
was pertormed. The intersection was analyzed as it currently exists with an all-way stop control.
Using the 2011 build-out volumes the intersection is projected to operate at a LOS E with a delay
of 43 seconds per vehicle. The capacity analysis was then performed for the 2011 build-out with
the addition of left-turn lanes on the southbound, eastbound, and westbound approaches yielding
a LOS C with a delay of 22 seconds per vehicle. It is recommended that left-turn lanes be
constructed by ACHD at the Ustick Road/Ten Mile Road intersection as warrants are met.
6. A roadway capacity analysis was pertormed for Ustick Road and Ten Mile Road to ensure that
adequate capacity is available for the projected increase in traffic. Capacity is available for the
2011 build out volumes. These roadways will not have adequate capacity to handle the build out
of the 12-square mile North Meridian Planning Area at 2020. Any improvement' on these
roadways should be based an the recommendations of the North Meridian Area Traffic Study.
12. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program
These segments of Ustick Road and Ten Mile Road are not included in the District's Five Year Work
Program or Capital Improvements Plan.
12. Other Development in Area
Staff has reviewed a number of development applications in the north Meridian area.
