-~ A. Findings of Fact
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 383 additional vehicle trips per day (10
~r.=, existing) based on the submitted traffic impact study.
2. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of a building
permit. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that
time.
,:
~_„; 3. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was not required with this application. However, listed
below as an executive summary of the North Meridian Traffic Study.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE NORTH MERIDIAN TRAFFIC STUDY
' The proposed 12-square mile study area between US 20/26 and Ustick Road and between
McDermott Road and Eagle Road (Sections 25-28, 33-36 of T4N R1 W and sections 29-32 of T4N
$'_,'~ R1 E), is selected Ada County Highway District (ACRD) for anticipated development build out. The
following are the principal findings and recommendations of the study:
~~``'~ • By the year 2020 the study area is anticipated to develop an additional 17,599 dwelling units,
~' > 2,744,000 sq. ft of office buildings, 1,929,000 sq.ft. of retail buildings, 12 elementary schools, 2
p „1,' _;
senior high schools, 2 junior high schools, 38,260 sq. ft of church buildings, and approximately 60
acres of park.
• The build out scenario of the study area is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of
f 276,764 vehicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour traffic (PHT) will be 28,206 vehicles per
hour (vph). Out of these trips approximately 10% of the trips remain internal within each section,
~~_-` and 6% of the trips are pass-by trips.
'`~ • The distribution of the traffic from all of the study area sections indicate that approximately 30%
~; = traffic directed towards south, 27% of the traffic directed towards east, 21 % of the traffic directed
~~ towards west and north. The remaining 22% of the traffic is distributed within the study area.
~~ ' • At build out, traffic on the arterials is expected to significantly increase (see Table 4).
' • All of the arterial intersections in the study area are currently operating at acceptable level of
_- r service of "C" or better.
• By the year 2020, the majority of study intersections are projected to meet the peak hour traffic
signal warrant.
~~°''~~ • A proportionate share of the impacts of the individual sections at each of the study area arterial
intersections is summarized in Table 6.
~~s ;:, • Several mid-mile intersections may warrant traffic signals due to the heavy left tum traffic volume.
~~~ • Chinden Boulevard is forecasted with 5-lane section in the study area. Right turns lanes may be
~, -
`"- ' required at some access and arterial intersections.

,_~~.~~.
Staff recognizes that the amount of right-of--way dedicated with these improvements is overwhelming,
'': and that ACRD may not have the funds to purchase such a large amount of right-of--way. In this
situation it is likely that impact fee offset agreements will be utilized to offset the amount of money that
~, ~~ ACHD will pay out-of-pocket to acquire the right-of-way.

:;~ ~ If staff examines each one of these developments individually, the roadway system appears
{ ;
_ adequate, but when staff adds each approved development, the traffic capacities of the surrounding
;~ :
,
', roadways reach their 2020 planning thresholds.

r
One option for funding improving these roadways is the implementation of an extra-ordinary impact

`-' 1. Right-of-Way and Sidewalk
Locust Grove Road
District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way

As a part of the North Meridian Traffic Plan, it was noted that a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-
foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes within 70-feet of right-of-way would be adequate to
~~, accommodate the projected traffic volumes on Locust Grove Road. Due to the fact that the North °
Meridian Traffic Plan recommended a 70-foot right-of-way on Locust Grove Road and the
Commission has supported the recommendations in the past, staff is recommending that the
applicant dedicate 70-feet of right-of-way (35-feet from centerline) as opposed to 96-feet of right-of-
~~~_ °:= way (48-feet from centerline).
°Klc>
The adjoining road is not listed as a proposed project in the District's currently adopted Five-Year
+`~ °` Work Program or in the currently adopted 20-year Capital Improvements Plan. As such, the applicant
:-;
cannot receive reimbursement for dedicated right-of-way from available collected impact fees. The
applicant shall do one of the following:
'" ~` ` a. Dedicate by donation a total of 35-feet of right-of-way along Locust Grove Road, and construct a
minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Locust Grove Road, located a minimum of 28-feet from
~nry. the centerline of the right-of-way.
`~ b. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk
along Locust Grove Road, located a minimum of 28-feet from the centerline of the right-of-way, in an
easement provided to the District.
°_ , ~~
c. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk
along Locust Grove Road, located at the back edge of the existing right-of-way. Accomplish all
'~~ necessary adjustments to properly accommodate existing drainage and utilities.
Internal Streets
District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-F1A requires 50-feet of right-of--way on local streets. This right-
,~ of-way allows for the construction of a 2-lane roadway with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete
sidewalks.
The applicant has proposed to construct the internal local streets within 50-feet of right-of-way. This
- ~'?;1 right-of-way meets District policy and should be approved with this application.
~;"
2. Driveways
°' ` ~ Location
~ District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of
' `~ 35 to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from any existing or proposed driveway.
:_
~` The applicant has proposed to locate one driveway on Locust Grove Road in alignment with E.
a ~ c~~,,,.,,A-„~np r)-we nn the east side of Locust Grove Road. This location meets District policy and
"~~ should be approved with this application.
~~ k-~ Width
.~ ~ ' District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles
~~ to a maximum width of 35-feet. Most commercial driveways will be constructed as curb-cut type
5~ ~ facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for
~; ,:
~' driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.

The applicant has proposed the one driveway to be 30-feet in width. This width meets District policy
and should be approved with this application. The driveway should be constructed as a curb return
type driveway with 15-foot radii.
~~` ' Pavin
`~ Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked
;; ~ onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.9.1, the applicant should be required to
r.
~~ '° pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the
~,. roadway.

'-'~~-' District is supportive of this due to the fact that four of the lots will not have frontage on a publicly
~` maintained road.

The applicant has also proposed to provide cross access to the 1.22-acre parcel to the north. The
District is supportive of this cross access due to the fact that this property may not be eligible for a full
~.,`; access onto Locust Grove Road in the future when it redevelops.
