• Franklin Road is planned for roadway widening improvements to 5 lanes and the construction
is scheduled for FY 2003.
• The Franklin/Baltic intersection will operate at LOS F under 2005 site build out conditions.
• Franklin Road warrants a left turn lane for traffic entering the site.
• Franklin Road warrants a right turn lane for traffic entering the site.
This transportation analysis has identified the following recommendations including those
presented in the traffic study:
• The Franklin Road site access intersection requires left turn and right turn lanes at build out.
Approximately 45 apartments (298 vehicle trips} can be constructed, before the Franklin
widening project, without requiring a left turn and right tuns lane.
D. Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in writing
by the District. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file numbers} for details.
E. This segment of Franklin Road is programmed in the Five Year Work Program for widening to
5-lanes in FY 2003. The current roadway is not centered on the section line, so standard right-
of-way widths for an arterial are not being applied to this segment of Franklin Road. Based on
the preliminary design, the applicant should dedicate from 31-feet to 42-feet of right-of--way on
Franklin Road from section line. Coordinate the exact right-of--way widths with ACHD Design
staff prior to submitting for final plat approval.
F. District policy requires the applicant to construct a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk abutting
Franklin Road. This segment of Franklin Road is listed in the Five Year Work Program for
widening in FY 2003. In lieu of constructing the improvements, the applicant should be required
to provide a $9,700 deposit to the Public Rights-of--Way 'Trust Fund for the cost of constructing a
5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on Franklin Road abutting the parcel (approximately 485-feet)
prior to issuance of a building permit, or District approval of a final plat, whichever occurs first.
G. The applicant is proposing to construct Baltic Place on the south side of Franklin Road to align
with Baltic Road on the north side of Franklin Road. District policy requires streets to align or
offset. The proposed street location conforms io District policy.
H. The applicant is not proposing to construct a public turnaround at the south end of Baltic Place.
District policy requires the construction of a turnaround if the roadway will not be extended in
the fithtre. if the applicant constntcts Baltic Place as a public street it should be constn~cted as a
40-foot street section within 58-feet or right-of-GVay with a standard turnaround at the south end
of tl~e street.
The applicant may constntct Baltic Place as a private road or driveway in lieu of constructing it
as a public street.
Kalispell Street was constructed as a stub street in the Medimont Subdivision and dead-ends at
the site's east property line. The applicant should be required to construct a public turnaround at
the terminus of Kalispell Street.
