11. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program
Overland Road was reconstructed in 2003 and is now a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter and
sidewalk.
There are no upcoming projects that are within this area that are scheduled within the District's Five
Year Work Program or Capital Improvements Plan.
B. Findings for Consideration
1. 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.
Overland Road was reconstructed in 2003 and is now a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter and
sidewalk. Due to the fact that Overland Road is already improved to 5-lanes with curb, gutter and
sidewalk, the applicant will not be required to dedicated additional right-of-way for Overland Road.
2. Sidewalk
District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all arterial roadways.
Overland Road was reconstructed in 2003 and is now a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter and
sidewalk. Due to the fact that Overland Road is already improved, the applicant will not be required
to make additional improvements to Overland Road.
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.
District policy would require the applicant to construct Millenium Way as one half of a 40-foot street
section with curb, gutter and sidewalk within 54-feet of right-of-way. Due to the fact that Millenium
Way was constructed as a 46-foot street section with curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk within
64-feet of right-of-way as a part of Resolution Subdivision, the applicant will not be required to make
additional improvements to Millenium Way.
4. Driveways
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.
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.
The applicant is proposing to utilize a 36-foot wide driveway that intersects Overland Road
approximately 125-feet west of the east property line. This driveway aligns with a driveway that is
located on the north side of Overland Road. This driveway meets District policy and should be
approved with this application. Pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site
3

the existing roadway edge.
The applicant is proposing to close one existing driveway, utilize one existing driveway, and construct
two new driveways on Millenium Way.

beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway.
