Development Application Report
Preliminary Plat - Bridgetower/MPP-00-017Ustick Road/Ten Mile Road 106 buildable lots
MAZ-00-017/MCUP-00-043
A preliminary plat has been submitted to the City of Meridian for approval of a 127-lot residential
subdivision. The applicant is also requesting a rezone from RT to R-4, and conditional use approval
for a planned unit development. The application has been referred to ACRD by the City of Meridian
for review and comment. The 46.2-acre site is located on the north side of Ustick Road, approximately
1/3-mile east of Ten Mile Road. This development is estimated to generate 1,060 additional (10
existing) vehicle trips per day based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation
manual.

Ustick Road is improved with 25-feet of pavement with no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the
site. There is sidewalk on the south side of Ustick Road across from the site.
B. On July 24, 2000, the District Planning and Development staff inspected this site and evaluated
the transportation system in the vicinity. On July 28, 2000, the staff met as the District's
Technical Review Committee and reviewed the impacts of this proposed development on the
District's transportation system. The results of that analysis constitute the following Facts and
Findings and recommended Site Specific Requirements.
C. Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in writing
by the District. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file numbers) for details.
D. The applicant is proposing to construct the main entrance, Towerbridge Way, with a 29-foot
street section and a 36-foot street section, with a 30-foot wide center median and located
approximately 400-feet east of Quarrystone Way on the south side of Ustick Road. The applicant
will be required to dedicate sufficient right-of--way for the entire width of the entrance.
E. The applicant should be required to construct a center turn lane on Ustick Road for the Ustick
Road/Towerbridge Way intersection. The tum lane should be constructed to provide a minimum

of 100-feet of storage with shadow tapers for both the approach and departure directions.
Coordinate the design of the tum lane with District staff.
F. The applicant is proposing to construct the main entrances to Pride Crossing Drive with 29-foot
street sections and a 20-foot wide center median. The applicant will be required to dedicate
sufficient right-of--way for the entire width of the entrances.
G. The applicant will be required to construct a bridge on N. Towerbridge Way where the roadway
crosses Fivemile Creek. The bridge should be constructed as a 29-foot street section with curb,
gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks.
H. Towerbridge Way and Pride Crossing Drive should be designated as residential collector streets
with no front-on housing, because the anticipated traffic volumes exceed 1,000 vehicle trips per
day. The access restrictions for these streets should be stated on the final plat. District policy
requires that these street segments be constructed as 36-foot street sections with curb, gutter and
5-foot wide concrete sidewalks. Unless otherwise noted, parking should be prohibited on these
street segments. Coordinate the signage plan with District staff:
I. The applicant should be required to construct a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on Ustick Road
abutting the parcel. The sidewalk should be located 2-feet within the new right-of--way.
Coordinate the location and elevation with District staff.
Utility poles should be relocated out of the new right-of--way on Ustick Road, and are the
responsibility of the developer.
K. Unless otherwise approved, the applicant should be required to construct all public roads within
the subdivision as 36-foot street sections with curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks
within 50-feet ofright-of--way.
L. The applicant is proposing to construct the main entrance to Trestle Drive with 21-foot street
sections and a 10-foot wide center median. The applicant will be required to dedicate sufficient
right-of--way for the entire width of the entrance.
M. The applicant is proposing to stub Pride Crossing Drive, a residential collector, to the east
property line between Lot 3, Block 2 and Lot 2, Block 7. District staff supports the location of
the stub street. The applicant is not required to provide a paved temporary turnaround at the end
of the stub street because the stub is one-lot in depth. The applicant should be required to install
a sign at the terminus of the roadway stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE
FUTURE". Coordinate the sign plan for the stub street with District staff.
Bridgetower.cmm
Page 3
N. The applicant is proposing to stub Towerbridge Way, a residential collector, to the north property
line between Lot 14, Block 5 and Lot 30, Block 3, and constructed over the Creason Lateral.
District staff supports the location of the stub street. The applicant is not required to provide a
paved temporary turnaround at the end of the stub street because there is a public street
intersection. The applicant should be required to install a sign at the terminus of the roadway
stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE F[JTURE". Coordinate the sign plan
for the stub street with District staff.
O. Any proposed landscape islands/medians within the publicright-of--way dedicated by this plat
should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of this should be required
on the final plat.
P. The turnarounds should be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of 45-feet, as
proposed.
Q. The applicant is proposing to construct a recreation center on Lot 2, Block 2, and is proposing to
construct a 40-foot wide driveway to access that lot. The driveway should be located as proposed
at the east property line of Lot 2, Block 2, and should be constructed 24 to 30-feet wide.
R. Lots 2, 3 and 6 of Block 1, are being rezoned to R-4 to follow Meridian's comprehensive plan.
The applicant intends to rezone these lots to light office or commercial in the future (conceptual).
The applicant is proposing to locate driveways approximately 140-feet north of Ustick Road.
The driveways should be located as proposed, and constructed 24 to 30-feet wide.
S. Unpaved driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being
tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with past action by the District the applicant should be
required to pave the driveways their full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge
of pavement of any public street.
T. Based on development patterns in this area and the resulting traffic generation, staff anticipates
that the transportation system will be adequate to accommodate additional traffic generated by
this proposed development with the requirements outlined within this report.
The following Site Specific Requirements and Standard Requirements must be met or provided
for prior to ACRD approval of the final plat:
Site Specific Requirements:
Dedicate 48-feet ofright-of--way from the centerline of Ustick Road abutting the parcel by
means of recordation of a final subdivision plat or execution of a warranty deed prior to
issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first. Allow up to
30 business days to process the right-of--way dedication after receipt of all requested material.
The owner will be compensated for all right-of--way dedicated as an addition to existing right-
of-way from available impact fee revenues in this benefit zone, if the owner submits a letter of
application to the impact fee administrator prior to breaking ground, in accordance with Section
15 of ACHD Ordinance #193.
