Site Information: The site currently has an existing single-family dwelling. 5. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: a. North: Proposed Sutherland Farms Subdivision b. South: Proposed Sutherland Farms Subdivision c. East: Proposed Sutherland Farms Subdivision d. West: Thousand Springs Subdivision 6, Impacted Roadways Eagle Road: Frontage: 265-feet Functional Street Classification: Minor arterial Traffic count: South of Overland Road was 10,232 on 2-27-02 Level of Service: Better than C Speed limit: 50 MPH Girdner Lane (Proposed to be Easy Jet Drive): Frontage: 500-feet Functional Street Classification: Currently a private lane (proposed to be a commercial street) 7. Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site Eagle Road is currently improved with two-lanes with no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is a southbound right-turn lane on Eagle Road at the Easy Jet Drive intersection. There is sidewalk on the west side of Eagle Road that was constructed with Thousand Springs Subdivision. Currently Girdner Lane (proposed Easy Jet Drive) is a 16-feet wide gravel lane. This lane was included in the preliminary plat for Sutherland Farms Subdivision. The applicant for Sutherland Farms Subdivision proposed to construct a public roadway (Easy Jet Drive) in this location. The public roadway that the Sutherland Farms Subdivision will be constructing is one-half of a 40-foot street section with a minimum of 24-feet of pavement with curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk on the south side of Easy Jet Drive within 40-feet of right-of-way. 8. Existing Right-of-Way Eagle Road currently has a total of 73-feet of right-of-way (25-feet from centerline). Currently Girdner Lane (proposed Easy Jet Drive) is not public right-of-way. This was preliminarily platted as a commercial street and is proposed to have 40-feet of right-of--way. 2 • 9. Existing Access to the Site The site currently has an existing driveway that is approximately 12-feet in width and intersects Eagle Road approximately 96-feet north of Girdner Lane (proposed Easy Jet Drive). -The site currently has an existing driveway that is approximately 20-feet in width and intersects Eagle Road approximately 150-feet north of Girdner Lane (proposed Easy Jet Drive). 10. Site History The District has not previously reviewed a development application on this site. 11. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program This segment of Victory Road (between Overland Road and Victory Road) is included in the District Five Year Work Program as a project that is in the preliminary development stage. This segment is also identified as item #27 in the District's Capital Improvement Plan. Eagle Road is anticipated to be reconstructed as a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter and sidewalk within 96-feet of right-of--way. B. Findings-for Consideration 1. Eagle Road -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. Dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Eagle Road abutting the parcel by means of a warranty deed. The right-of-way purchase and sale agreement and deed must be completed and signed by the applicant prior to scheduling the final plat for signature by the ACHD Commission or 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 paid the fair market value of the right-of--way dedicated which is an addition to existing ACHD right-of-way if the owner submits a letter of application to the impact fee administrator prior to breaking ground, in accordance with the ACHD Ordinance in effect at that time (currently Ordinance #198), if funds are available. 2. Eagle Road -Sidewalk District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all collector roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2). Typically the District requires the construction of a 5-foot concrete sidewalk on all arterial roadways. Due to the fact that this segment of Eagle Road is in the District's Five Year Work Program, the applicant will have two options: Construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Eagle Road, located a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of the right-of-way OR Provide the District with a Public Right's of Way Road Trust Deposit in the amount of $5,080.00 for the construction of a 5-foot concrete sidewalk on Eagle Road. 3 3. Girdner Lane (Proposed Easy Jet Drive) Right-of-way District policy requires 54-feet of right-of--way on industrial/commercial roadways (Figure 72-F1B). This right-of--way allows for the construction of a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter and a 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalks. 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 7203.4.2 states "if a proposed development abuts an unpaved street or streets the developer shall construct one-half of the full street improvements, including curb, gutter and concrete sidewalk plus additional pavement widening beyond the centerline established for the street to provide a minimum 24-feet wide paved surface. A 3-foot wide gravel shoulder and a drainage swale sized to accommodate the roadway storm runoff shall be constructed on the unimproved side. This street section shall be constructed within a minimum 40-foot right-of-way." The applicant is proposing to take access to Girdner Lane. Currently, Girdner Lane is a private road. On May 8, 2002, the Commission approved a preliminary plat, Sutherland Farms Subdivision. As a part of the preliminary plat approval of Sutherland Farms Subdivision, the .District required the Sutherland Farms Subdivision to construct Easy Jet Drive (formerly Girdner Lane) as one half of a 40-foot street section with a minimum of 24-feet of pavemenYwith vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot sidewalk on the south side of Easy Jet Drive within 40-feet of right-of--way. If Easy Jet Drive has been constructed as one half of a 40-foot street section with a minimum of 24- feet of pavement with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot sidewalk on the south side of Easy Jet Drive within 40-feet of right-of-way, the applicant of this development will be required to dedicate the remaining 14-feet of right-of--way and complete the remainder of the street section (including the construction of vertical curb, gutter and a 5-foot concrete sidewalk on the north side of Easy Jet Drive. If Easy Jet Drive has not been constructed, the applicant should construct Easy Jet Drive as one half of a 40-foot street section with a minimum of 24-feet of pavement with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot sidewalk on the north side of Easy Jet Drive within 40-feet of right-of-way. 4. Driveways District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of 50 to align or offset a minimum of 255-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. District policy F2-F4 (1) and 72-F4 (2), requires driveways located on commercial/industrial roadways to offset a controlled and/or uncontrolled intersection a minimum. of 50-feet (measured near edge to near edge). 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 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. 4 ~ ~ The applicant is proposing to construct a 30-foot wide curb return type driveway that intersects Eagle Road approximately 210-feet north of Girdner Lane (proposed Easy Jet Drive). This driveway is proposed to offset the driveway that was approved with Sutherland Farms Subdivision approximately 255-feet. The proposed driveway does not meet District policy in regard to offsets, but staff does have the authority to modify dimensional standards by 25% if the modification is justifiable and anticipated to be safe. The proposed driveway is proposed to be centrally located between the approved driveway to the north and Easy Jet Drive. There are also no driveways on the west side of Eagle Road to conflict with the turning movements of vehicles utilizing the proposed driveway. Staff believes that this driveway should be granted a staff level modification due to the fact that Eagle Road will not be 50 MPH in the future. With the large amounts of development that have recently been approved within this area, the speed limit will be reduced in the future. If the speed limit is reduced to 40 MPH, the driveway spacing will exceed the dimensional standards for driveways entering roadways with a speed limit of 40 MPH. The applicant is proposing to construct a 25-foot curb return type driveway that intersects Girdner Lane (proposed Easy Jet Drive) approximately 355-feet east of Eagle Road. This driveway location and width meets District policy and should be approved with this application. The applicant should construct the driveway with a 15-foot curb radius (minimum). 5. Other Access Eagle Road is classified as a minor arterial. Access to minor arterials is restricted. Other than the access points that have specifically been approved with this application, direct lot access to Eagle Road is prohibited. Notes of this restriction should be noted on the final plat. C. Special Recommendation to the City of Meridian and the Applicant Eagle Road is classified as a minor arterial. The applicant should be required to provide cross access to the parcel to the north via the proposed driveway on Eagle Road. By requiring cross access, the sites on Eagle Road will have an additional access point and should allow for increased circulation within this area. D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval 1. Dedicate 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Eagle Road abutting the parcel by means of a warranty deed. The right-of-way purchase and sale agreement and deed must be completed and signed by the applicant prior to scheduling the final plat for signature by the ACHD Commission or 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 paid the fair market value of the right-of-way dedicated which is an addition to existing ACHD right-of--way if the owner submits a letter of application to the impact fee administrator prior to breaking ground, in accordance with the ACHD Ordinance in effect at that time (currently Ordinance #198), if funds are available. 2. Construct a minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Eagle Road, located a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of the right-of--way OR Provide the District with a Public Right's of Way Road Trust Deposit in the amount of $5,080.00 for the construction of a 5-foot concrete sidewalk on Eagle Road. 5 3. If Easy Jet Drive has been constructed as one half of a 40-foot street section with a minimum of 24- feet of pavement with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot sidewalk on the south side of Easy Jet Drive within 40-feet of right-of--way, dedicate the remaining 14-feet of right-of-way and complete the remainder of the street section (including the construction of vertical curb, gutter and a 5-foot concrete sidewalk) on the north side of Easy Jet Drive. 4. If Easy Jet Drive has not been constructed, construct Easy Jet Drive as one half of a 40-foot street section with a minimum of 24-feet of pavement with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot sidewalk on the north side of Easy Jet Drive within 40-feet of right-of--way. 5. Construct a 30-foot wide curb return type driveway that intersects Eagle Road approximately 210-feet north of Girdner Lane (proposed Easy Jet Drive), as proposed.
