Facts and Findings:
DEC 19 2001
City of Meridian
City Clerk Office
nw/c Ustick Road. Meridian Road Park
A. The Ada County HiQhw-ay District (ACHD) staff has received the above referenced application-
requesting certificate of zoning compliance approval to construct a ~8-acre park. The 58-acre
site is located on the northwest corner of Ustick Road and Meridian Road. This development is
estimated to generate 92 additional vehicle trips per day (0 existing) based on the Institute of
Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual.
B. The application and site plan stamped and received by the City of Meridian on September 14.
2001, and submitted to the District on September 21. 2001. has been reviewed by the ACRD
Planning and Development staff and conforms to applicable District standards/policy, or can be
trade to conform with the chan~~e(s) to the plan described in the requirements stated belo~a~.
C. On September 24. 2001. the District I'lannin~~ and Development staFl~ inspected this site and
evaluated the transportation system in the vicinity. On September 29. 2001. the staff met as the
District's Technical Reyie~~- Committee and rryie~yed the impacts of this proposed de~•elopment
on the :District's transportatton S~'Slelll. 1 ht I'eSllllS Ot that analysis constitute the lollo~yim~ 1=arts
and Findin~~s and recommended Site Specific Requirements.

•
E. For the purposes of estinr~ting daily trip generation and assessin~T impact fees for this project. the
proposed use of this de~•elopment has been classilied as Citv Park. (Per the ITE Manual) The
impact fee rate from the fee tables for this use is S X23 per acre. based on the impact fee ordinance
in effect at this time. Note: This rate is pro~•ided for informational purposes onh• and shall
not be construed as an impact fee rate certification. The impact fee will be assessed at the
time of plans acceptance b~• District staff, and shall be based on the fee tables and provisions
of the District's lmpact Fee Ordinance in effect at that time.
F. Staff has recently been receiving lar~~e amounts of inquiries from developers in this northwest
1\-leridian area. Manv developers are prepared to plat entire section-miles, and have site plans
developed. The preliminary plans generally include 700 to 900 residential lots, schools,
office/commercial lots, and city and neighborhood parks
Due to the lame number of inquiries in this area, staff and the development community realized
that the potential for development in this area is extreme, and that the traffic impact studies that
each individual developer was submitting, did not include the major surrounding developments that
are "in the works". If we examine each development individually, the roadway system is
adequate, but when we begin to add in a second or third large-scale development, the traffic
capacities of these roadways (Ustick Road, McMillan Road, Ten Mile Road, Linder Road) reach
their 2020 planning thresholds.
Based on development patterns in this area, and the concern surrounding the abutting roadways,
staff hired a consultant from the "on-call" list to conduct a traffic impact study of the northwestern
Meridian area from Ustick Road to Chinden Boulevard, and from Eagle Road to McDermott Road.
That study has been completed. An economic study is underway to detern~ine the costs of
~a~idening the roadways, right-of--way, and signal costs; based on the recommendations of the traffic
study.
It is possible that ACRD may have to fund a portion of these improvements with extraordinary
impact fees, or some other funding source. This current development (the Meridian City Park)
under review may also be subject to any extraordinary fees that the District may impose.
G. Cedar Springs Subdivision is cun•ently in the application process with the City of Meridian and the
District. if Cedar Springs Subdivision has a public roadwav abutting the north property line of the
Meridian Park, the Meridian Parl: should be responsible for their portion of the roadway. If the
Meridian Park should de~•elop before Cedar Springs Subdivision, the Meridian Park should
construct one-half of a ~6-foot sU-eet section plus I?-feet of additional pavement within X12-feet of
ri~~ht-o1=~~ay. Il~Cedar Sprin~~s Subdi~~ision should de~'elop before the (~~1eridian Park, the ~~lericiian
Park should complete the roadway making it a full ,6-foot street section with curb. gutter and
sidewalk within 50-feet of right-ol=~~'av. lithe (\~1eridian Park would like a detached or meandering
sidewalk. they ~~ ill be required to prop ide and easement to the District. y
H. -1-he applicant is proposing to consU•uct the main entrance to the earl: on ~•leridian Road, located
700-feet north of the south propert~~ line. The proposed main driye~~av should be desi~_ned with

21-foot sheet sections on either side of a center median. The median should be consh'ucted a
minimum of ~-feet wide (maximum 12-leet wide) to total a minimum of a 100-square foot area.
I. There is an existing well on Meridian Road that will be located within the new right-of-wav. The
applicant (City of Meridian) has indicated that they will move the well at their expense in the future
~a~hen the roadway is widened. The applicant should provide a signed affidavit to the DisU•ict
stating that agreement.
J. Request for 1\lodification/Commission action:
On November 2, 2001, the applicant filed a request for modification of the Ustick Road sidewalk
requirement. The request was heard by the ACRD Commission on December 12, 2001. The
applicant, Meridian Parks & Recreation, testified that the Ustick Road frontage is not a part of
Phase 1, and that the sidewalk was not budgeted for FY 2002. The applicant further testified that
Phase 2 budgeting would occur in the Fall of 2002, and that Phase 2 of the park would occur
thereafter. Phase 1 of the park is expected to open in the Spring of 2003, based on testimony from
the applicant.
The Commission offered an alternative to the applicant that would allow deferral of the Ustick
Road sidewalk until April of 2003. The applicant indicated to the Commission that the timing was
acceptable to Parks & Recreation.
The Commission granted a modification of policy to waive the sidewalk requirement on Ustick
Road for Phase 1 of the park, but placed a time limit on the modification. Regardless of future
phasing (because finding of those phases is unknown), the sidewalk on Ustick Road shall be
constructed on or before April 1, 2003. At the time of construction, ACHD will acquire the Ustick
Road right-of-~vay.
The following requirements are provided as conditions for approval for Phase l:
Site Specific Requirements:
Dedicate 48-feet of right-of-~~~av from the centerline of Meridian 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 pe~7iiits)• whichever occurs first. Allow up to
30 business days to process the ri;ht-of-~~-av dedication after receipt of all requested material.
The o~rner will be compensated for all right-of-way dedicated as an addition to existing right-
ol=way fi-om available impact lee revenues in this benefit zone. if the owner submits a letter of
application to the impact fee adminisu•ator prior to breaking ground. in accoriiance with ACHD
Ordinance #193. The ri~~ht-of=~~av purchase agreement must be completed and signed by the

Re: Request to delay construction of Ustidc sidewalk in the 58-acre Meridian Park
Dear Christy,
Meridian Parks and Recreation has reviewed the October 10, 2001, ACRD staff comments regarding Phase 1 construction of the
new 58-acre park located on the northwest comer of Ustidc and Meridian Roads. Site-speafic Requirement No. 4 requires a five-
foot wide concrete sidewalk on Ustidc Road. We are requesting not to construct that sidewalk as part of Phase 1 for the folknMng
reasons: one, Phase 1 park construction is adjacent to Meridian Road and is not within 400 feet of Ustidc (see endosed drawing);
two, we want to promote access to the park along Meridian Road since it has sidewalk extending one mile to Cherry Lane to the
south; three, the $52,000 cost of detached Ustick sidewalk was not budgeted in Phase 1 since it was an antiapated cxsst of Phase
2 construction.
We are planning to construct the sidewalk in conjunction with a second parking bt entering off of Ustidc Road in the second phase
of the park (see enclosed drawing). We will submit the Phase 2 plans for ACHD review prior to construction.
The Ustidc sidewalk issue has been discussed with the Meridian Parks and Recreation Commission, Mayor and Ciiy Counai.
They are in full support of not constructing the Ustidc sidewalk in Phase i.
We appreciate your support in our request
Sincerely,
'~1'`-

Re: Staff Level Approval
-tv1~''OI-021
„_, Facts and Findings:
nw/c Ustick Road, Meridian Road ~~Parka
A. The Ada County Highway District (ACRD) staff has received the above referenced application-
requesting certificate of zoning compliance approval to constntct a 58-acre park. The 58-acre
site is located on the northwest corner of Ustick Road and Meridian Road. This development is
estimated to generate 92 additional vehicle trips per day (0 existing) based on the Institute of
Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual
B. The application and site plan stamped and received by the City of Meridian on September 14,
2001, and submitted to the District on September 2l, 2001, has been reviewed by the ACHD
Planning and Development staff and conforms to applicable District standards/policy, or can be
made to conform with the change(s) to the plan described in the requirements stated below.
C. This is a staff level approval and will not be heard by the ACHD Commission unless the site plan
is changed 111 SUCK a manner as to not conform to District standards/policy or an appeal o1'the
Planning and Development staff decision is submitted as described wlthm the Standard
Requirements outlined below.
D. On September 24. 2001. the District Planniny~ and Development staff inspected this site and
evaluated the transportation s~~stem in the vicinity. On September 29. 2001. the staff met as the
District's -technical Review Committee and rcvie~~ cd the. impacts of this proposed development
on the Dist~ict's transportation svslcn~. The result~ i~f that anal-sis constitute the following 1=acts
and Findings and reconunended Site Spccilic Rcquircn~ents.
1"
E. For the purposes of estimating daily trip generation and assessing impact fees for this project, the
proposed use of this development has been classified as City Park. (Per the ITE Manual) The
impact fee rate from the fee tables for this use is $323 per acre, based on the impact fee ordinance
in effect at this time. Note: This rate is provided for informational purposes onl~~ and shall ~~
not be construed as an impact fee rate certification. The impact fee will be assessed at the
time of plans acceptance by District staff, and shall be based on the fee tables and provisions ~~~'~
of the District's Impact Fee Ordinance in effect at that time.
F. Staff has recently been receiving ]arse amounts of inquiries from developers in this northwest
Meridian area. Many developers are prepared to plat entire section-miles, and have site plans
developed. The preliminary plans generally include 700 to 900 residential lots, schools,
office/commercial lots, and city and neighborhood parks
Due to the large number of inquiries in this area, staff and the development comnnuiity realized
that the potential for development in this area is extreme, and that the traffic impact studies that
each individual developer was submitting, did not include the major surrounding developments that
are "in the works". If we examine each development individually, the roadway system is
adequate, but when we begin to add in a second or third large-scale development, the traffic
capacities of these roadways (Ustick Road, McMillan Road, Ten Mile Road, Linder Road) reach
their 2020 planning thresholds.
Based on development patterns in this area, and the concern surrounding the abutting roadways,
staff hired a consultant from the "on-call" list to conduct a traffic impact study of the northwestern
Meridian area from Ustick Road to Chinden Boulevard, and from Meridian Road to one-half mile
west of Black Cat Road. The study is cun•ently in "DRAFT" forn~ while ACHD staff, City of
Meridian staff, and COMPASS staff review the final phases of the study.
After examining the final phase of the Northwestern Meridian study, staff anticipates implementin
an extra-ordinary impact fee overlay district to pay for roadway improvements (mainly widening
and traffic signals) to these surrounding roadways. Staff estimates that it will take three to four
months to detern~ine what improvements need to be made at this time to handle the additional
traffic being generated by the conglomeration of these developments, and to calculate an
extraordinary fee to make those improvements. This cun-ent development (the Meridian City Park)
under review may also be subject to any extraordinary fees that the District may impose.
G. Cedar Sprin~Ts Subdivision is currently in the application }?rocess with the City of Meridian and the
District. The subdivision design is-currently undetermined at this time. If Cedar Springs
Subdivision has a public roadway abuttin`, the north property line- the lyleridian Park should be
responsible for their portion of the roadway. if the Meridian Park should ileyelop befo~.e Cedar
Springs Subdivision. the Meridian Park should construct one-half of a ,6-foot sU-eet section plus
12-feet of additional pavement ~~'ithin d2-feet of right-of-way. I f Cedar Sprin~~s Subdi~ ision should `~
develop before the Meridian Park. the ;~-1eridian Park should complete the roadway n~akin~~ it a full
(i-foot street section ~yithin ~0-Feet of ri~`ht-of=~~av.
H. The applicant is proposing to construct the main entrance to the park on Meridian Road, located
700=feet north of the south property line. The proposed main driveway should be designed with
21-foot street sections on either side of a center median. The median should be constructed a
minimum of 4-feet wide (maximum 12-feet wide) to total a mininnnn of a 100-square foot area.

issue one? What about phase 2?

Brad,
I do not know if a CZC will be processed on phase 2 of the park or not. Past history
would suggest probably not. I do not think CZC's were ever issued for Chateau Park or
Bear Creek Park, for example. Shari had me review a plan for the 58-acre park 2 or 3
months ago, and I made some comments about only having 1/2 as many trees in the street
buffer as required, too many parking spaces in a row, etc., but I have never seen a
revised plan and a CZC has not been issued--at least nat from me.
You can decide whether or not to forward this to Christy.

Steve,
As I recall, you're wprking with Tom on the 58-acre park CZC, right? Christy is aksing
below if we`ll require a CZC for Phase 2. Tom is appealing ACHD's requirement to construct
a sidewalk on Ustick since none of Phase 1 abuts Ustick. I'm not sure when ACHD's
Commission will make their decision, but if they allow the waiver, ACHD wants to ensure
they will review the site again.
Could you please reply to Christy on this? Thanks.

Brad,
This park app for Tom Kuntz is a CZC for Phase 1. When they do Phase 2 will there be
another CZC? How does that work if there are no building permits to apply for?
We just want to make sure that we're going to have every opportunity to acquire impact
fees for the entire site, and also improvements surrounding the entire site, should the
Commission waive the sidewalk requirement.
Thanks!
