Impacted Roadways: Fairview Avenue Frontage: Functional Street Classification Traffic count: Level of Service: Speed limit: Nearest intersection: Teare Avenue 4. 1,080-feet Principal arterial West of Locust Grove was 29,931 on 7-6-00. «C„ 35 Fairview Avenue and Jericho Drive intersection Frontage: 60 Functional Street Classification: Local residential Traffic count: Not available Speed limit: 20 Clarene Street Frontage: 60 Functional Street Classification: Local residential Traffic count: Not available Speed limit: 20 Jericho Road Frontage: Functional Street Classification: Traffic count: Level of Service: Speed limit: Nearest intersection: 0 Collector North of Fairview was 3,850 on 8-7-01 Better than "C" 30 Jericho Drive and Fairview Avenue intersection Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was required with this application. The submitted traffic impact study was compiled by Dobie Engineering and the following is a summary of the findings: This Development is projected to be built-out by the year 2005. The following is a summary or the findings and recommendations provided by the Traffic Engineer: 2 • The proposed Fairview Lakes Subdivision project is a proposed mixed use development including apartments, professional offices, specialty retail, and restaurants. The project will be developed in phases and is expected to reach full build out by the year 2005. Fairview Avenue is a standard principal arterial with a 64 ft. wide five-lane urban section. The posted speed limit is 35 mph east of Locust Grove Road. The Level of service for Fairview Avenue is estimated to operate at a LOS B/C during the peak hour period in the year 2005 without the addition of the site traffic. This development is projected to generate 10,960 total trips, of which 1,230 will be captured within the development. Of the remaining 9,730 trips 5,545 were estimated to be new to the area while 4,185 trips were estimated to be pass-by trips already on Fairview Avenue. These trips were based on 192 apartment units, 15,000 sf of office space, 100,000 sf of retail use, a 5,600 sf bank, and 8,000 sf for restaurant. A trip capture rate of 11.2% was used. The totals from the revised application were 192 apartment units, 15, 000 sf of office space, 92, 800 sf of retail use, a 5, 000 sf drive-in bank, a 4, 000 sf fast food restaurant w/drive-thru, and a 12, 000 sf high turnover restaurant. The totals presented in the traffic study are actually higher than those calculated for the application total. This is the conservative approach which will safeguard against totals that maybe higher than those projected. The need for a signal at this intersection should not be affected by the difference in trafl!c projections. Intersection Type of Control 2002 PM -Existing 2005 PM- Existing LOS LOS Fairview/Ea le Si nalized D E Locust Signalized D D Grove/Fairview 1 Street/Fairview Si nalized D D Cherry Signalized D D Lane/Meridian East Unsignalized N/A F access/Fairview West Signalized - N/A C ''* access/Fairview ro osed * -Site traffic will experience significant delay during the PM peak hour. "* -This analysis was based on the assumption that the west access will be approved for Signalization. Approach traffic from the site will maintain acceptable service levels by that time period with the addition of a traffic signal. Fairview Avenue was evaluated for Level of service in the build out (2005) and 2020. The projections for the peak hour were LOS C for 2005 and LOS E for 2020 based on a five-lane roadway. The recommendation is that Fairview Avenue be expanded to handle the additional capacity needed after year 2020. The Traffic study reviewed the Signal Warrants from the 1988 MUTCD. The analysis indicates that warrant #1 will be met with 75% of site traffic using the signalized intersection. Warrant #2 is met with less than 50% of the site traffic. Similarly, warrants #9, #10, and #11 are all satisfied based on projected traffic volumes. 3 5. Site Information: The site is currently vacant. 6. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: • North: Meridian Place Subdivision Number 1 • South: Commercial /retail • East: Fairview Terrace Mobile Home Park • West: Settlers Village Re-subdivision 7. Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site The site has access to Fairview Avenue and two local residential stub streets, Teare Avenue and Clarene Street. Fairview Avenue is improved with 5-traffic lanes with no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk located directly to the east of this property and was constructed with carwash that is located on the northwest corner of Jericho Road and Fairview Avenue. Teare Avenue and Clarene Street are improved with 2-traffic lanes (37-feet of pavement) with curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk. Jericho Road does not abut the site but would be utilized with the extension of Teare Avenue or Clarene Street. Jericho Road is a collector roadway that is improved with 2-traffic lanes with curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk. 8. Existing Right-of-Way Fairview Avenue is a principal arterial that currently has a total of 110-feet of right-of-way (55-feet from centerline). Teare Avenue and Clarene Street are local residential roadways with a total of 60-feet of right-of-way (30-feet from centerline). 10. Site History On May 7, 2000, the Commission reviewed and approved a preliminary plat, Teare Terrace, on this site. Teare Terrace was proposed to be a 13-lot commercial and residential subdivision. This development proposed to extend Clarene Street into the property and extend south to connect to Fairview Avenue. Teare Avenue was proposed to extend into the site as a cul-de-sac on the property. 11. Five Year Work Program There are no improvements in the area that are scheduled in the Five Year Work Program. 12. Signal Location The District has chosen the location of the signal at the commercial/industrial roadway and Fairview Avenue intersection due to the fact that: • This location is at the half-mile • This location will serve more vehicle trips per day • This location will pull vehicle trips per day off of Jericho Street (a collector roadway with front on housing) and will place the vehicles on a commercial/industrial roadway • This location will provide the surrounding residential homes with access to a signal 4 • This location can serve more vehicle trips per day on the North side of Fairview Avenue than on the south side of Fairview Avenue B. Findings for Consideration Right-of-Way and Sidewalk District policy requires 120-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of- way allows for the construction of a 7-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes. Fairview Avenue 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 an additional 5-feet of right-of-way along Fairview Avenue, and construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Fairview Avenue, located a minimum of 53-feet from 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 Fairview Avenue, located a minimum of 53-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 Fairview Avenue, located at the back edge of the existing right-of-way. Accomplish all necessary adjustments to properly accommodate existing drainage and utilities. 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 acommercial/industrial roadway that intersects with Fairview Avenue 310-feet east of the west property line. This roadway location meets District policy and should be approved with this application. 3. 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 acommercial/industrial roadway that extends from Fairview Avenue to the north. This roadway is proposed to cul-de-sac just before the proposed multi-family residential apartment complex. This roadway will also provide a link that will connect into Teare Avenue. The proposed commercial/industrial roadway that the applicant is proposing will consist of a 40-foot street section that includes 2-travel lanes, a center turn lane, curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk within 54-feet of right-of-way. The proposed street section meets District policy and should be approved with this application. 5 • 4. Driveways District policy F2-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. District policy F2-F4 (1) and 72-F4 (2), requires driveways located on commercial/industrial roadways to offset a controlled and/or uncontrolled intersection a minimum of 50-feet (measured near edge to near edge). 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 facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways. Fairview Avenue Driveway The applicant is proposing to construct one 30-foot wide driveway on Fairview Avenue. This driveway is proposed to intersect Fairview Avenue approximately 205-feet west of the east property line. This driveway meets District policy and should be approved with this application. Commercial /Industrial Street Driveways The applicant is proposing to construct thirteen driveways on the proposed commercial/industrial roadway. The driveways are proposed to be constructed in the following locations. • Driveway number 1 is proposed to intersect the commercial/industrial roadway approximately 54-feet north of Fairview Avenue. This driveway is proposed to be 25- feet in width. • Driveway number 2 and 3 are proposed to intersect the commercial/industrial roadway approximately 175-feet north of Fairview Avenue. These driveways are proposed to align with one another. These driveways are proposed to be 17-feet in width. • Driveway number 4 is proposed to intersect the commercial/industrial roadway approximately 235-feet north of Fairview Avenue. This driveway is proposed to be 21-feet in width. • Driveway number 5 is proposed to intersect the commercial/industrial roadway that extends north from Fairview Avenue approximately 580-feet north of Fairview Avenue. This driveway is proposed to be 22-feet in width. • Driveway number 6 is proposed to extend directly north of the commercial/industrial roadway and proposed to intersect the northern portion of the cul-de-sac. This driveway is proposed to be 45-feet in width. • Driveway number 7 is proposed to intersect the commercial/industrial roadway that runs east and west and is proposed to be located approximately 50-feet east of the commercial/industrial roadway that extends from Fairview Avenue to the north. This driveway is proposed to be 27-feet in width. • Driveway number 8 is proposed to intersect the commercial/industrial roadway that runs east and west and is proposed to be located approximately 255-feet east of the commercial/industrial roadway that extends from Fairview Avenue to the north. This driveway is proposed to be 20-feet in width • Driveway number 9 is proposed to intersect the commercial/industrial roadway that runs east and west and is proposed to be located approximately 430-feet east of the commercial/industrial roadway that extends from Fairview Avenue to the north. This driveway are proposed to be 25-feet in width. 6 Driveways number 10 and number 11 are proposed to be 30-feet in width and located on the east and west side of the commercial/industrial roadway just north of the proposed roundabout. Driveway number 12 and 13 are proposed to be 30-feet in width and located on the east and west side of the commercial/industrial roadway approximately 160-feet north of the proposed roundabout. All of the proposed driveway locations meet District policy in regard to location. All of the proposed driveway widths meet District policy EXCEPT for driveway number 6. Driveway number 6 should be constructed a maximum of 35-feet in width. 5. All Driveways 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 pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge. 6. Stub Streets District policy 7203.5.1 and 7205.5 requires stub streets to provide intra-neighborhood circulation and to provide access to adjoining parcels. District policy 7203.3.2 requires an existing street or a street in an approved preliminary plat, which extends at a boundary of a proposed development to be extended into that development. The applicant is proposing to extend Teare Avenue. This extension will provide a connection from Teare Avenue to Fairview Avenue. The extension of Teare Avenue meets the goals and intent of District policy and has the supportive of District staff. The District held a neighborhood .meeting on Thursday March 20, 2003. The Teare Avenue extension was approved by the Meridian City Council on March 25, 2003 after a number of neighborhood concerns arose. Modification of Policv The applicant is proposing to terminate Clarene Street at its current location and construct temporary bollards for emergency access only. District policy requires that stub streets be constructed and/or extended to adjoining properties to provide reasonable access and intra-neighborhood connectivity. Staff would generally support the extension of Clarene Street into the site, but due to the fact that the applicant is extending Teare Avenue to the residential neighborhood that is located to the northeast, staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal to construct bollards at the terminus of Clarene Street. With the construction of bollards, Clarene Street will be one-lot and less than 150-feet in depth, therefore, the applicant will not be required to construct a temporary turnaround. 6. Turnarounds District policy 7204.9.2 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of 55-feet. The applicant is proposing to dedicate a hammerhead turnaround at the west end of Clarene Street on the applicant's property. This hammerhead turnaround will function as the property's frontage until the preliminary plat is submitted and the roadways are formally dedicated. This hammerhead turnaround is required to have bollards installed at the terminus of Clarene Street where the 7 • hammerhead begins. The applicant should also enter into a license agreement for the maintenance of the hammerhead turnaround on Clarene Street due to the fact that the District will be unable to access the turnaround. The applicant is proposing to provide a permanent "hammerhead" easement to the District at the terminus of North Lark Avenue. This easement is acceptable to the District but must be approved by the Meridian Fire Department. The applicant should provide a permanent "hammerhead" easement to the District at the terminus of the commercial/industrial roadway and provide documentation to the District showing the review and approval of this configuration from the Meridian Fire Department. 7. Roundabout The applicant is proposing to construct a roundabout within the commercial/industrial roadway approximately 530-feet north of Fairview Avenue. The roundabout should be designed with 21-foot street sections on either side of the center island. The applicant will be required to dedicate sufficient right-of-way on either side of an island. Coordinate the size and design of the roundabout with traffic services staff. 8. Signalization The applicant is proposing to construct a new signal at the intersection of Fairview Avenue and the commercial/industrial roadway that extends north into the site. The signal is proposed at the half mile. The traffic study determined that the warrants would be met and that the existing signals in the area would not be significantly impacted by the new signal. The District will contribute the hardware necessary for the construction of the new signal and any related roadway improvements. The applicant should plan, construct and install the signal that is proposed at the intersection of Fairview Avenue and the commercial/industrial roadway that extends north into the site. C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval The applicant shall do one of the following: Dedicate by donation an additional 5-feet of right-of-way along Fairview Avenue, and construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Fairview Avenue, located a minimum of 53-feet from the centerline of the right-of--way. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Fairview Avenue, located a minimum of 53-feet from the centerline of the right-of-way, in an easement provided to the District. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Fairview Avenue, located at the back edge of the existing right-of-way. Accomplish all necessary adjustments to properly accommodate existing drainage and utilities. 2.

If a motion to reconsider is made and seconded it is subject to a motion to postpone to a certain time. b. The request must be in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the Highway District no later than 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to the Commission's next scheduled regular meeting following the meeting at which the action to be reconsidered was taken. Upon receipt of the request, the Secretary shall cause the same to be placed on the agenda for that next scheduled regular Commission meeting. c. The request for reconsideration must be supported by written documentation setting forth new facts and information not presented at the earlier meeting, or a changed situation that has developed since the taking of the earlier vote, or information establishing an error of fact or law in the earlier action. The request may also be supported by oral testimony at the meeting. d. If a motion to reconsider passes, the effect is the original matter is in the exact position it occupied the moment before it was voted on originally. It will normally be returned to ACRD staff for further review. The Commission may set the date of the meeting at which the matter is to be returned. The Commission shall only take action on the original matter at a meeting where the agenda notice so provides. e. At the meeting where the original matter is again on the agenda for Commission action, interested persons and ACHD staff may present such written and oral testimony as the President of the Commission determines to be appropriate, and the Commission may take any action the majority of the Commission deems advisable. If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to cover administrative costs, as established by the Commission. 12 13 .. a~ '~7T~~ ~"'~~''' Ada County Highway District John S.
