12. Other Development in Area
The Meridian School District proposed to construct a bus facility with an accessory 14,850 square
foot service building and an 8,250 square foot administration building just west of this development
site. The Meridian School District was approved to construct a driveway/future street on the east
property line. The School District was to pave the driveway/street a minimum of 30 -feet into the site
beyond the edge of pavement of Franklin Road and install pavement tapers with 15 -foot radii abutting
the existing roadway edge. If the roadway is to be dedicated to the public it should be constructed as
a 40 -foot street section with curb, gutter and 5 -foot wide sidewalks. In addition, the following
requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the driveway/street to ACHD:
♦ Dedicate a minimum of 54 -feet of right-of-way for the road.
♦ Construct the roadway to the minimum ACHD requirements.
B. Findings for Consideration
Right -of -Way
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 concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes.
Cafarelli Subdivision # 1 dedicated 48 -feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Franklin Road.
Therefore the applicant should not be required to dedicate any additional right-of-way with this
application.
2. Sidewalk
District policy requires 5 -foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial
roadways (7204.7.2).
Cafarelli Subdivision # 1 constructed the required roadway improvements abutting Franklin Road.
Therefore the applicant should not be required to construct any additional roadway improvements
with this application.
3. Minor Improvements
District policy 7203.6 requires the applicant of a proposed development to make improvements to
existing damaged sidewalk; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused
driveways with standard curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation of pedestrian ramps; pavement
repairs; signs; traffic control devises; and other similar items in order to correct deficiencies or replace
deteriorated facilities.
4. 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.
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.

edge of pavement of Franklin Road and install pavement tapers with 15 -foot radii abutting the existing

of the Ada County Highway District. The burden shall be upon the applicant to obtain written
confirmation of any change from the Ada County Highway District.
11. Any change by the applicant in the planned use of the property which is the subject of this

the Highway District of its intent to change the planned use of the subject property unless a
waiver/variance of said requirements or other legal relief is granted pursuant to the law in effect at the
time the change in use is sought.
E. Conclusions of Law
1. The proposed site plan is approved, if all of the Site Specific and Standard Conditions of Approval are
satisfied.
2. ACHD requirements are intended to assure that the proposed use/development will not place an
undue burden on the existing vehicular and pedestrian transportation system within the vicinity
impacted by the proposed development.
