7. Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site
Eagle Road abutting the site is currently improved with two travel lanes, a 5-foot wide meandering
sidewalk with no curb or gutter. Silverstone Way is currently improved with two travel lanes curb,
gutter and 5-foot wide sidewalk on both sides of the street.
2
8. Existing Right-of-Way
There is currently 73-feet of right-of-way (48-feet from centerline) for Eagle Road abutting this
property. There is currently 80-feet of right-of-way (40-feet from centerline) for Silverstone Way.
9. Existing Access to the Site
There are two existing curb return driveways on Silverstone Way and two on Eagle Road into this
site. The first driveway on Silverstone Way is located at the north property line and is shared with the
property to the north. The second driveway on Silverstone Way is located approximately 200-feet
south of the first driveway. There is a shared driveway which functions as an access road to a few
lots within the original Silverstone Subdivision #1 from Eagle Road, located at the north property line.
The other driveway into the site is a shared driveway with Lot 5, Block 1, Silverstone Subdivision #1,
located at the south property line on Eagle Road.
10. Site History
The applicant is proposing to re-subdivide Lots 2, 3, 6, 7 and portions of Lots 8, 10 and 11, of
Silverstone Subdivision #1 (MPP-01-001/MCUP-01-002/MAZ-01-001), which the Commission
approved on March 14, 2001. All of the required street improvements have been completed and
driveway locations approved, with the original plat of Silverstone #1. It does not appear that the
applicant is proposing any new access points to Silverstone Way or Eagle Road that would contradict
what was approved previously for MPP-01-001 /MCUP01-002/MAZ-01-001.
11. Five Year Work Program
Overalnd Road, from Linder to Five Mile, is in the Five Year Work Program for roadway and
intersection improvements within the next five years. More specifically, Overland Road, from Meridian
Road to Eagle Road, is scheduled for improvements in the year 2003 and Overland Road from Eagle
Road to Cloverdale Road is scheduled for improvements in 2006. Eagle Road, from Victory Road to
Overland Road, is in preliminary development for roadway and intersection improvements.
12. Other Development in Area
The Commission recently approved EI Dorado Subdivision (MCUP01-037/MAZ01-018) on January
16, 2002. The driveway locations and roadway improvements for this development will not effect
those approved locations or improvements.
B. Findings for Consideration
Right-of-Way
District policy requires 70-feet of right-of-way on collector roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-
way width allows for the construction of a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot wide detached
sidewalks and bike lanes. There is sufficient right-of-way for Silverstone Way abutting this property.
The applicant should not be required to dedicate any additional right-of-way for Silverstone Way with
this application.
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. There is currently 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Eagle Road abutting
this property. The applicant should not be required to dedicate any additional right-of-way for Eagle
Road abutting this property.
3
2. Sidewalk
District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all collector and arterial streets
(7204.6.5). There are currently sidewalks on both sides of Silverstone Way and on the east side of
Eagle Road. The applicant should not be required to construct any additional improvements to
Silverstone Way or Eagle Road.
3. Access Points
District policy (Figure 72-F5), requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a
speed limit of 30 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from any existing or proposed
driveway and to align or offset a minimum of 440-feet from a signalized intersection. In addition,
District policy 7207.8 states that direct access to arterials and collectors is normally restricted and the
developer shall try to use combined access points. District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial
driveways with daily traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles to a maximum width of 35-feet. Curb return
type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for driveways accessing collector and arterial
roadways.
Access points into this site were previously approved with Silverstone Subdivision #1. Site Specific
Condition #9 of Silverstone Subdivision #1 restricts driveway locations on Silverstone Way to be a
minimum of 175-feet from Eagle Road and Overland Road, and to align or offset a minimum of 125-
feet from any proposed driveways. All proposed driveways into this development from Silverstone
Way should be a minimum of 175-feet from Overland Road and offset a minimum of 125-feet from
any proposed or existing driveway on the same side or across the roadway.
On March 14, 2001, the Ada County Highway District Commission approved two access points on
Eagle Road for this site. The approved accesses are located 400-feet south of Overland Road and
690-feet south of the northern driveway. The applicant should be required to utilize these existing
driveways and not construct any additional access points to Eagle Road.
Other than the access points specifically approved with this application, direct lot or parcel access to
Eagle Road and Silverstone Way should be prohibited. Lot access restrictions, as required with this
application, shall be stated on the final plat.
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.
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 all driveways their 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.
C. Special Recommendation to the City of Meridian
In order to reduce trips to and from this development it is recommended that tenants occupying the
proposed building be required to provide an Alternative Transportation Program for employees and
provide an annual report to ACHD on employee participation. Commuteride staff will coordinate the
Alternative Transportation Program with the applicant. For more information contact Ms. Catherine
Sanchez at 387-6160.

should be required to participate in any Transportation Management Association (TMA) or
Transportation Management Organization (TMO) that is formed with a boundary that includes this site
or is adjacent to this development.
3. The Overland/Eagle Road and Meridian/Overland Road intersections operate at a Level of Service F
(LOS F), and are listed as one of the 100 most critical intersections in Ada County. Access control
within the operating area of the intersection is vital to the safe operations of the intersection. The
subject site's additional traffic will exacerbate the traffic problems at these intersections.
D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1. Driveways on Silverstone Way shall be located a minimum distance of 175-feet from Eagle
Road, and shall align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from any existing or proposed
driveways. Pave all driveways to a maximum width of 35-feet and at least 30-feet into the site
beyond the edge of pavement of Silverstone Way and install pavement tapers with 15-foot
curb radii abutting the existing roadway edge.
2. The following access points on Eagle Road are approved with this application:
• A driveway located on Eagle Road approximately 440-feet south of Overland Road
is approved with this application.
• A driveway located on Eagle Road approximately 1,150-feet south of Overland
Road (approximately 690-feet south of the northern driveway) is approved with this
application.
Both driveways shall be paved a maximum. width of 35-feet and at least 30-feet into the site
beyond the edge of pavement of Eagle Road and install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii
abutting the existing roadway edge.
3. Other than the access points specifically approved with this application, direct lot or parcel
access to Eagle Road and Silverstone Way is prohibited. Lot access restrictions, as required
with this application, shall be stated on the final plat.
4. Comply with all Standard Conditions of Approval.

5. All design and construction shall be in accordance with the Ada County Highway District Policy
Manual, ISPWC Standards and approved supplements, Construction Services procedures and all
applicable ACRD Ordinances unless specifically waived herein. An engineer registered in the State
of Idaho shall prepare and certify all improvement plans.
6. The applicant shall submit revised plans for staff approval, prior to issuance of building permit (or
other required permits), which incorporates any required design changes.
7. Construction, use and property development shall be in conformance with all applicable requirements
of the Ada County Highway District prior to District approval for occupancy.

6190 in the event any ACHD conduits (spare or filled) are compromised during any phase of
construction.
10. No change in the terms and conditions of this approval shall be valid unless they are in writing and
signed by the applicant or the applicant's authorized representative and an authorized representative
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
application, shall require the applicant to comply with all rules, regulations, ordinances, plans, or other
regulatory and legal restrictions in force at the time the applicant or its successors in interest advises
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.
F. Conclusions of Law
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.
