A. Findings of Fact
Trip Generation:
This development is estimated to generate 29 additional vehicle trips per day (18 existing) based on
the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual.
2. Impact Fees:
There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of a building permit. The
assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that time.
3. Traffic Impact Study:
This proposed development is estimated to generate less than 1,000-trips per day therefore a traffic
impact study was not required with this application.
4. Site Information:
There is an existing tri-plex on the front portion of the site with the remainder being undeveloped.
5. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area including Zoning:
a. North: Residential/R-/R-2
b. South: Residential/R-2/RSW
c. East: Residential/Milton Sub/R-1/R-4
d. West: School Plaza Sub # 1/Commercial/Residential/R-1
6. Impacted Roadways
2 % Street:
Frontage: Approximately 97-feet
Functional Street Classification: Local
Speed limit: 25-mph
7. Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site
2 % Street is a local roadway with two travel lanes with no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site.
There are street improvements to the south. The edge of pavement abutting the site gives way to
gravel.
8. Existing Right-of-Way
2 % Street is a local roadway with 50-feet of existing right-of-way (25-feet from centerline).
9. Existing Access to the Site
The site does not have any delineated access point to 2 % Street per say due to the lack of curb,
gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. The general location of the existing driveway is located
approximately 5-feet south of the northern properly line. This approach is dirt/gravel.
10. Site History
District staff reviewed this site for a conditional use application (MCUP03-038) for a tri-plex and due
to the number of trips the applicant received a no review letter on August 12, 2003.
11. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program
This location is not programmed into the District's current Capital Improvements Plan and/or Five
Year Work Program for reconstruction or any roadway improvements.

12. Other Development in Area
On July 23, 2002 District staff reviewed an application requesting conditional use approval to convert
a single-family residence to a Beauty Salon. The 0.30-acre site is located on the east side of 2
Street, north of East Carlton Avenue.
B. Findings for Consideration
Right-of-Way/Sidewalk
District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-F1A requires 50-feet of right-of-way on local streets. This right-
of-way allows for the construction of a 2-lane roadway with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete
sidewalks.
2. Street Sections
District policy 7204.4.2 states, "Developments with any buildable lot that is less that 1-acre in size will
typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32-feet with curb, gutter and sidewalks.
The total street width shall be 36-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. Variations of this width may
be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be generated by the development. Concrete
sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5-feet in width unless they are separated from the curb 5-feet or
more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of 4-feet in width.
The applicant should be required to construct curb, gutter, 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk and match
paving on 2 % Street abutting the parcel. Improvements shall be constructed to one-half of a 36-foot
street section.
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 del=fciencies or replace
deteriorated facilities.
4. Driveways
District policy F2-F4 (1) and 72-F4 (2), requires driveways located on local residential roadways to
offset a controlled and/or uncontrolled intersection a minimum of 50-feet (measured near edge to
near edge).
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 should be required to utilize the existing access into the site located approximately 5-
feet south of the northern property line and pave the driveway its full width of 25-feet as proposed
and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of 2 % Street.
District Policy 7207.9.3 restricts residential driveways to a maximum width of 20-feet.
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
3
•
facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for
driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1. Construct curb, gutter, 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk and match paving on 2 '/2 Street abutting the
parcel. Improvements shall be constructed to one-half of a 36-foot street section.
2. Utilize the existing access into the site located 5-feet south of the northern property line and pave the
driveway its full width of 25-feet as proposed and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of

3. Comply with all Standard Conditions of Approval.
D. Standard Conditions of Approval
1. Any existing irrigation facilities shall be relocated outside of the right-of-way.
2. All utility relocation costs associated with improving street frontages abutting the site shall be borne

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

SUBJECT : MCZC-04-097
Triplex
1236 East 2 %2 Street
In response to your request for comment, the Ada County Highway District (ACRD) staff has reviewed
the submitted application and site plan for the item referenced above. It has been determined that the
Right-of-Way and Development Services Department does not have any site specific requirements for
you at this time due to the fact that:
- On February 24, 2004, the Ada County Highway District acted on Troy Place.
- The same Conditions and Requirements also apply to MCZC-04-097.
If the site plan or use should change in the future, ACRD will review the site plan and may require
improvements to the transportation system at that time.
A traffic impact fee will be assessed by ACRD and will be due prior to the issuance of a building
permit. Contact ACRD Planning & Development Services at 387-6170 for information regarding
impact fees.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (208) 387-6171.
