3. Site History: ACHD staff/Commission previously reviewed this site as Umbria/Silver Oaks
Apartments (MCUP-05-024, MAZ-05-016, MPP -05-023, MCZC-06-046) in November 2005. A
road trust for $10,700 was received in June 2006 for the street extension and bridge culvert to the
west boundary for the crossing of the Kennedy Lateral. The requirements of this staff report are
consistent with those of the prior action.
4. Adjacent Development: The following developments are pending or underway in the vicinity of
the site:
• Baraya Subdivision, (334 -single family detached lots, 260 -multifamily units, and one
elementary school), located immediately south of the site on the south side of Franklin Road
in March 2007.
MCUP-10-014, MDES-10-050 & MMDA-10-011
5. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any
building permits. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in
effect at that time.
6. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/Five Year Work Plan (FYWP):
• Franklin Road is scheduled in the Five Year Work Plan and CIP to be widened to 5 -lanes from
Black Cat Road to Ten Mile Road between 2019 to 2027.
• The intersection of Black Cat Road and Franklin Road is scheduled in the Five Year Work Plan
and CIP to be widened to 4 -lanes on the north leg, 3 -lanes on the south, and 5 -lanes on the
east and west legs, and reconstructed/signalized between 2014 to 2018.
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 2,454 additional vehicle trips per
day (none existing); 229 additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour (none existing),
based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 8th edition.
A Traffic Impact Study was submitted with the original application for Umbria Subdivision/Silver
Oaks Apartments in 2005. A new study was not required with this application due to the fact that
there are no significant changes to the site, there has been limited development adjacent to the
site, and the internal streets are partially completed and pending completion/approval. Below is a
summary of the original submitted Traffic Impact Study:
Traffic Impact Study Summary (2005):
• The proposed subdivision is a 30 -acre mixed-use development with 350 multi -family units
on 27 -acres and an office complex on 3 -acres and is anticipated to generate 2,490 vehicle
trips per day. The project is expected to be fully developed by 2010.
• Franklin Road is classified as a minor arterial and consists of 2 -traffic lanes and 4 -foot
gravel shoulders. The posted speed limit is 50 -MPH.
• Ten Mile Road is classified as a minor arterial and consists of 2 -traffic lanes and 4 -foot
gravel shoulders. The posted speed limit is 35 -MPH.
• The Ten Mile Road/Franklin Road intersection is an all -way stop controlled intersection
with single -lane approaches in all quadrants.
• Ten Mile Road is included in the District's Five Year Work Program to be widened from 2 -
lanes to 5 -lanes between Franklin Road and Pine Avenue. The project includes the
signalization of the Franklin Road/Ten Mile Road intersection to 5 -lanes on all legs.
Construction is planned for fiscal year 2007.
2 MCUP-10-014, MDES-10-050 & MMDA-10-011
Vehicles utilizing the public roadway located at the east property line will experience
moderate delay. A separate left-hand turn lane should be constructed to alleviate some of
the time delay.
Both a left-hand turn lane and a right-hand turn lane will be needed at the proposed site
access to Franklin Road to accommodate the projected turning traffic. The recommended
deceleration lane improvements include a 12 -foot wide by 100 -foot long deceleration lane
with a 600 -foot taper. The gravel shoulder width could be reduced to 4 -feet in this
segment.
Staff Comments to Traffic Study (2005):
• Franklin Road (from Ten Mile Road to Black Cat Road) is included in the District's Five
Year Work Program to be reconstructed to a 5 -lane roadway with vertical curb, gutter and
sidewalk within a total of 96 -feet of right-of-way. This project is in preliminary development
and is not anticipated to be reconstructed prior to 2010. Although this project is scheduled
in the District's FYWP, it is not included in the District's Capital Improvements Plan.
• The site does meet the warrants for the construction of a center turn lane and a right turn
lane at the intersection of Franklin Road and the proposed public road.
• The public road that intersects Franklin Road is anticipated to carry traffic from this
development as well as a future church. Due to the surrounding uses, the applicant will be
constructing a commercial street. A commercial street allows for the construction of 3 -
traffic lanes with vertical curb, gutter and sidewalk. This street section will accommodate
for the left -turn lane that has been recommended by the traffic impact study.

3 MCUP-10-014, MDES-10-050 & MMDA-10-011
2. Franklin Road
a. Existing Conditions: Franklin Road is improved with 2 -travel lanes, and no curb, gutter or
sidewalk near the site. There is 78 -feet of right-of-way for Franklin Road (30 -feet from
centerline).
b. Policy
Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7203.4.3 states that if a proposed development
abuts an arterial street, the developer shall provide sidewalk along the paved frontage and
dedicate right-of-way required by the proposed land use and scale of the project.
Right -of -Way and Street Section 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 wide concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
Right -of -Way Policy: District policy requires 70 -feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways
(Figure 72-F113). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 3 -lane roadway with curb,
gutter, 5 -foot wide concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy requires 7 -foot wide attached (or 5 -foot wide detached)
concrete sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
c. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, arterial street requirements, and specific roadway
features required through development. This segment of Franklin Road is designated in the
MSM as a Planned Commercial Arterial with 5 -lanes and on -street bike lanes, an 82 -foot
street section within 96 -feet of right-of-way.
d. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Franklin Road with
this application.
e. Staff Comments/Recommendations: When this site was reviewed as part of Umbria/Silver
Oaks Apartment in 2005, the submitted traffic impact study recommended the construction of
a center turn lane at the intersection of Umbria Hills Avenue and Franklin Road and a
westbound right turn lane at the intersection of Umbria Hills Avenue and Franklin Road into
the site.
At the time of this application, those improvements have not been constructed. Consistent
with ACHD's prior action on the site, and the findings of the submitted traffic impact study, the
applicant should be required to construct a center turn on Franklin Road (at the intersection of
Umbria Hills Avenue and Franklin Road) that provides a minimum of 100 -feet of storage with
tapers for both the approach and departure directions abutting the site as identified in the
original staff report. The applicant should also be required to construct a westbound right turn
lane at the intersection of Umbria Hills Avenue and Franklin Road. The applicant should
coordinate the design of the center turn lane and the westbound right turn lane with District
Traffic Services and Development Review staff.
3. Perugia Street
a. Existing Conditions: Perugia Street is improved with no pavement, vertical curb, gutter, and
5 -foot wide attached concrete sidewalk abutting the site. There is 54 -feet of right-of-way for
Perugia Street (27 -feet from centerline). This street has not been completed or accepted for
maintenance at the time of this application.
b. Policy:
40 -foot Street Section Policy: District policy 72-F1A requires that industrial/commercial
roadways be constructed as 40 -foot street sections with curb, gutter and 5 -foot wide concrete
within 54 -feet of right-of-way.
4 MCUP-10-014, MDES-10-050 & MMDA-10-011
Half Street Section: District policy 7203.4.2 states "if a proposed development abuts an
unpaved street or streets the developer shall construct one-half of the full street
improvements, including curb, gutter and concrete sidewalk plus additional pavement
widening beyond the centerline established for the street to provide a minimum 24 -feet wide
paved surface. A 3 -foot wide gravel shoulder and a drainage swale sized to accommodate the
roadway storm runoff shall be constructed on the unimproved side. This street section shall be
constructed within a minimum 40 -foot right-of-way."
Turnaround Policy: District policy 7205.2.1 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide
a minimum turning radius of 45 -feet. Landscape and parking islands may be constructed in
turnarounds if a minimum inside curb radius of 28 -feet, and a minimum outside radius of 45 -
feet are provided. The pavement width shall be sufficient to allow the turning around of a
standard AASHTO SU design vehicle without backing.
c. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway
features required through development. A new collector roadway was identified on the MSM
with the street typology of Towncenter Collector. The Towncenter Collector typology as
depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide recommends a 3 -lane roadway with bike lanes,
and on street parking, a 60 -foot street section within 88 -feet of right-of-way.
d. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Perugia Street
abutting the site.
Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant should be required to complete the
construction of Perugia Street as one half of a 40 -foot street section with curb, gutter and 5 -
foot wide attached concrete sidewalk plus additional pavement widening beyond the
centerline established for the street to provide a minimum 24 -feet wide paved surface. A 3 -
foot wide gravel shoulder and a drainage swale sized to accommodate the roadway storm
runoff shall be constructed on the south side of the roadway.
The new collector roadway identified on the ACHD Master Street Map and the City of
Meridian's Ten Mile Specific Area Plan was originally intended to align with Umbria Hills
Avenue, extend north through the site, turning west near the sites north property line, stubbing
to the west (see below).
5 MCUP-10-014, MDES-10-050 & MMDA-10-011
However, the approval of the Umbria/Silver Oaks Apartments in 2005, and the subsequent
construction of both public and private roads prohibit the ability to extend the roadways north
and west as noted in the Master Street Map (see above). Therefore, staff recommends that
the existing roadway configuration replace the collector roadways planned in Meridian's Ten
Mile Specific Area Plan and the Master Street Map. This would allow for the future extension
to the west providing connectivity and an alternate route to Black Cat Road as identified in the
Master Street Map.
4. Umbria Hills Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: Umbria Hills Avenue is improved with 2 -travel lanes (18 -feet of
pavement), vertical curb, gutter, and 5 -foot wide attached concrete sidewalk abutting the site.

has not been completed or accepted for maintenance at the time of this application.
b. Policy:
40 -foot Street Section Policy: District policy 72-F1A requires that industrial/commercial
roadways be constructed as 40 -foot street sections with curb, gutter and 5 -foot wide concrete
within 54 -feet of right-of-way.
Half Street Section: District policy 7203.4.2 states "if a proposed development abuts an
unpaved street or streets the developer shall construct one-half of the full street
improvements, including curb, gutter and concrete sidewalk plus additional pavement
widening beyond the centerline established for the street to provide a minimum 24 -feet wide
paved surface. A 3 -foot wide gravel shoulder and a drainage swale sized to accommodate the
roadway storm runoff shall be constructed on the unimproved side. This street section shall be
constructed within a minimum 40 -foot right-of-way."
Turnaround Policy: District policy 7205.2.1 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide
a minimum turning radius of 45 -feet. Landscape and parking islands may be constructed in
turnarounds if a minimum inside curb radius of 28 -feet, and a minimum outside radius of 45 -
feet are provided. The pavement width shall be sufficient to allow the turning around of a
standard AASHTO SU design vehicle without backing.
c. New Collector ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master
Street Map (MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and
specific roadway features required through development. A new collector roadway was
identified on the MSM with the street typology of Towncenter Collector. The Towncenter
Collector typology as depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide recommends a 3 -lane
roadway with bike lanes, and on street parking, a 60 -foot street section within 88 -feet of right-
of-way.
d. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Umbria Hills
Avenue abutting the site with this application.
Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant should be required to complete the
construction of Umbria Hills Avenue as one half of a 40 -foot street section with curb, gutter
and 5 -foot wide attached concrete sidewalk plus additional pavement widening beyond the
centerline established for the street to provide a minimum 24 -feet wide paved surface. A 3 -
foot wide gravel shoulder and a drainage swale sized to accommodate the roadway storm
runoff shall be constructed on the south side of the roadway.
The new collector roadway identified on the ACHD Master Street Map and the City of

Avenue, extend north through the site, turning west near the sites north property line, stubbing
to the west (see below).
6 MCUP-10-014, MDES-10-050 & MMDA-10-011
However, the approval of the Umbria/Silver Oaks Apartments in 2005, and the subsequent
construction of both public and private roads prohibit the ability to extend the roadways north
and west as noted in the Master Street Map (see above). Therefore, staff recommends that
the existing roadway configuration replace the collector roadways planned in Meridian's Ten
Mile Specific Area Plan and the Master Street Map. This would allow for the future extension
to the west providing connectivity and an alternate route to Black Cat Road as identified in the
Master Street Map.
5. Stub Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There is an existing 54 -foot wide right-of-way stub to the west property
line located at the terminus of Perugia Street.
b. Policy:
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7203.5.1 states that the street design in a proposed
development shall cause no undue hardship to adjoining property. An adequate and
convenient access to adjoining property for use in future development may be required. If a
street ends at the development boundary, it shall meet the requirements of sub section 7205,
"non -continuous streets." District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be required to
provide intra -neighborhood circulation or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub
streets will conform with the requirements described in Section 7204.5, 7204.6 and 7204.7,
except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required if the stub street has a length no greater
than 150 -feet. A sign shall be installed at the terminus of the stub street stating that, "THIS
ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."
District policy 7203.5.2 states that an existing street or a street in an approved preliminary
plat, which ends at a boundary of a proposed development, shall be extended in that
development. The extension shall include provisions for continuation of storm drainage
facilities.
Temporary Turnaround Policy: District policy 7205.2 requires construction of a temporary
cul-de-sac with the same dimensional requirements as a standard cul-de-sac, with a minimum
turning radius of 45 -feet where curb is required and 42 -feet where curb is not required. The
pavement width shall be sufficient to allow the turning around of a standard AASHTO SU
7 MCUP-10-014, MDES-10-050 & MMDA 10-011
design vehicle without backing. If a temporary turnaround is proposed to be located within a
future building lot, the temporary turnaround easement shall be for the entire building lot to
prevent the easement from being constructed over.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing right-of-way
stubbing to the west property line abutting the site.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and
should be approved, as proposed.

Right of Way Improvements Guideline Request
Purpose: To develop the necessary avenue for proper notification to utilities of local highway
and road improvements, to help the utilities in budgeting and to clarify the already existing process.
1) Notification: Within five (5) working days upon notification of required right of way
improvements by Highway entities, developers shall provide written notification to the affected
utility owners and the Ada County Utility Coordinating Council (UCC). Notification shall include
but not be limited to, project limits, scope of roadway improvements/project, anticipated
construction dates, and any portions critical to the right of way improvements and coordination
of utilities.
2) Plan Review: The developer shall provide the highway entities and all utility owners with
preliminary project plans and schedule a plan review conference. Depending on the scale of
utility improvements, a plan review conference may not be necessary, as determined by the
utility owners. Conference notification shall also be sent to the UCC. During the review meeting
the developer shall notify utilities of the status of right of way/easement acquisition necessary
for their project. At the plan review conference each company shall have the right to appeal,
adjust and/or negotiate with the developer on its own behalf. Each utility shall provide the
developer with a letter of review indicating the costs and time required for relocation of its
facilities. Said letter of review is to be provided within thirty calendar days after the date of the
plan review conference.
3) Revisions: The developer is responsible to provide utilities with any revisions to preliminary
plans. Utilities may request an updated plan review meeting if revisions are made in the
preliminary plans which affect the utility relocation requirements. Utilities shall have thirty days
after receiving the revisions to review and comment thereon.
4) Final Notification: The developer will provide highway entities, utility owners and the UCC with
final notification of its intent to proceed with right of way improvements and include the
anticipated date work will commence. This notification shall indicate that the work to be
performed shall be pursuant to final approved plans by the highway entity. The developer shall
schedule a preconstruction meeting prior to right of way improvements. Utility relocation activity
shall be completed within the times established during the preconstruction meeting, unless
otherwise agreed upon.
Notification to the Ada County UCC can be sent to: 50 S. Cole Rd. Boise 83707, or Visit

Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action
Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action: A Commissioner, a member of ACHD
staff or any other person objecting to any final action taken by the Commission may request
reconsideration of that action, provided the request is not for a reconsideration of an action
previously requested to be reconsidered, an action whose provisions have been partly and
materially carried out, or an action that has created a contractual relationship with third parties.
a. Only a Commission member who voted with the prevailing side can move for
reconsideration, but the motion may be seconded by any Commissioner and is voted on
by all Commissioners present.
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
ACHD 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.
f. If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to
cover administrative costs, as established by the Commission.

RE: Land Use Change Application — Silver Oaks Apartments
Please note the District now requires three (3) sets of plans
Dear Ms. McKay:
Enclosed please find a Land Use Change Application for your use to file with the Irrigation
District for its review on the above -referenced development. If this development is under a
"rush" to be finalized, I would recommend that you submit a cashier's check, money order or
cash as payment of the fees in order to speed the process up. If you submit a company or
personal check, it must clear the bank before processing the application.
Should this development be planning a pressure urban irrigation system that will be owned,
operated and maintained by the Irrigation District, I strongly urge you to coordinate with John P.
Anderson, Water Superintendent for the Irrigation District, concerning the installation of the
pressure system. Enclosed is a questionnaire that you must fill out and return in order to initiate
the process of contractual agreements between the owner or developer and the Irrigation
District for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the pressure urban irrigation system.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call on me at the District's
office, or John P. Anderson, at the District's shop.
Sincerely,
