Interstate 84 is three lanes eastbound and three lanes westbound. There is an "ON" and "OFF"
ramp at Eagle Road.
B. 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.
Eldorado.cmm
Page 3
C. The Overland Road /Eagle Road intersection is in the Five Year Work program. With the
reconstruction of this intersection, the level of service for Eagle Road, Overland Road and the
intersection are anticipated to improve.
D. On March 14, 2001, the Commission approved the original Silverstone Corporate Center located
directly across from the proposed Eldorado Business Campus. The Silverstone Corporate Center
was estimated to generate approximately 9,629 vehicle trips per day. The Eldorado Business
Campus is estimated to generate approximately 8,262 vehicle trips per day.
On November 7, 2001, the Commission considered and allowed the Silverstone Corporate
Center to have a fourth access point on Eagle Road due to the fact that the Silverstone Corporate
Center had an extraordinary circumstance before them. Staff supported a fourth access on Eagle
Road because of three key major components:
1. The Silverstone Corporate Center did not anticipate ownership of the newly
acquired parcel,
2. They placed the access point (a public street) in a safer location than if they had not
been approved with this request and
3. The applicant did not request direct access to Eagle Road when a formal application
was filed for the newly acquired parcel (Silverstone II) with the City of Meridian or
the District.
On January 9, 2002, the Commission formally acted on Silverstone II, the newly acquired
parcel. Silverstone II did not request a new access point to Eagle Road. Rather, they
subdivided the 7.83 acre site into 31-lot commercial subdivision and took access from the
fourth access point that was approved on November 7, 2001.
E. The formal application that was submitted to the City of Meridian and the District showed three
access points on Eagle Road. Since the District received the formal submittal, the applicant has
requested a fourth access point located on Eagle Road approximately 1,150-feet south of
Overland Road. On January 16, 2002, the Commission formally acted on the Eldorado Business
Campus and granted the fourth access point to Eagle Road. This access point was proposed to be
a driveway located on Eagle Road approximately 1,150-feet south of Overland Road. The
following report reflects the Commissions formal action.
F. The applicant hired Earth Tech Traffic Engineering to perform a traffic analysis of this site. The
analysis has identified the following conclusions, and this information has been verified by
District staff
^ The proposed development is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of 8262
vehicles per day (vpd), of which the PM peak hour traffic (PHT) is 1085 vehicles per hour
(~h)•
At build-out, the project will add 5,420 vehicles per day to Eagle Road north of the site, of
these trips 727 will take the westbound I-84 ramp, 2,148 will travel eastbound on I-84, and the
remaining 2,545 will continue to the north. An additiona1942 vehicles per day will travel south
of the site on Eagle Road. The project will also add 1,182 vehicles per day to Overland Road
east of the-site and 727 vehicles per day on Overland Road west of the site.

^ The intersection of Eagle Road and Overland Road is currently operating at Level Of Service
(LOS) F. It will operate at a LOS F under background conditions with or without the site
traffic. This Development should be required to participate in improvements to this
intersection to bring it up to an acceptable level of service.
^ The intersection of Eagle Road and the Eastbound and Westbound off ramps of I-84 will
function at an acceptable LOS with the addition of the site traffic. This assumes that the
proposed signal in the Eastbound off-ramp is constructed by ITD.
^ The intersection of Eagle Road and Franklin Road will operate at LOS F with or without the
project. Improvements to this intersection will require additional right-of--way and coordination
with the other projects. Since the majority of the traffic will be coming from other growth in
the area, widening of this intersection should be considered by ACHD and ITD.
^ The intersection of Overland Road and Meridian Road will operate at LOS F with or without
the project. Additional lanes are required to make this intersection operate at an acceptable
LOS D. This intersection is within the limits of a proposed project by ACHD. The site traffic
should be included in the planning of the ACHD improvement project.
^ The intersection of Overland Road and Cloverdale Road will operate at LOS E under
background traffic. This site traffic will reduce the operation to LOS F. Additional lanes are
required to make this intersection operate at an acceptable LOS E. This area will probably see
development in the coming years.
^ The intersection of Eagle Road and Victory Road will operate at LOS D under background
traffic. The intersection operation will reduce to LOS F with the addition of site traffic.
Adding a southbound left turn lane to this intersection would increase the operation to an
acceptable LOS C.
^ Eagle Road south of the project will operate at an acceptable level of service after build out of
the project. The site should contribute right-or-way for future roadway expansion. Since Eagle
Road is on a section line, it is assumed that the future roadway will be a five-lane road.
^ Eagle Road north of the site will operate at an acceptable level of service after build out of the
project.
^ Overland Road west of Eagle Road will operate at an acceptable level of service for athree-lane
road. A three-lane road is proposed to be built by ACHD on this section of roadway.
^ Overland Road east of Eagle Toad will operate at a poor level of service after build out of the
project. The Silverstone Corporate Center Traffic Impact Study suggests that right-of--way
should be dedicated for afive-lane future roadway.
^ The project should be required to construct a signal at the south main entrance to the site on
Eagle Road.
^ The on-site roadways will operate above LOS C.
^ The signalized entrance to El Dorado, along Eagle Road, will operate at a LOS C.
^ The north unsignalized entrance, along Eagle Road, will operate at a LOS E.
^ The south-unsignalized entrance, along Eagle Road, will operate at a LOS C.
^ The west unsignalized entrance along Overland Road will operate at a LOS C.
^ The middle unsignalized entrance, along.Overland Road, will operate at a LOS C.
^ The east unsignalized entrance, along Overland Road, will operate at a LOS B.
^ The signalized entrance to El Dorado along Eagle Road will operate at a LOS C.

Pending projects assumed to be built by build-out and included in the analysis.
^ Locust Grove Overpass, and associated projects (RD157, RD157B, F201-O1, F201-O1B).
These projects are all either unfunded or pending and are not scheduled to begin acquiring R/W
until at least 2004 for the overpass.
^ Overland Rd, Eagle Rd/Cloverdale Rd (RD072) -Reconstruct and widen to 5-lane urban
section. (unfunded)
^ Overland Rd, Locust Grove Rd/Eagle Rd (RD266) - 4/5-lane rural section. (2005)
Project not included in the traffic analysis that will affect the impact area.
^ Project RD201-02, on Cloverdale Road between Overland Road and the I-84 overpass. This
project includes widening the overpass to three lanes and will also include intersection work at
Cloverdale and Overland that will widen all four approaches to a 5-lane rural section. This
intersection. This project is scheduled to begin in Oct. 2002 and be completed by Summer
2003.
G. The applicant should be required to construct a 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk on Eagle
Road located 2-feet within the new right-of--way. Coordinate the location and elevation of the
sidewalk with District staff. If the sidewalk meanders outside of the right-of--way, provide an
easement for the sidewalk
H. The applicant should be required to construct a 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk on
Overland Road located 2-feet within the new right-of--way. Coordinate the location and elevation
of the sidewalk with District staff. If the sidewalk meanders outside of the right-of--way, provide
an easement for the sidewalk
I. District policy 7204.7.3 states that access points on arterials are based on the following:
• One access point for less than 150-feet of frontage
• Two access points for 150-600-feet of frontage
• Three access points for greater than 600-feet of frontage.
Access points are considered to be both public streets and driveways. Due to the fact that this
parcel has approximately 1,300 feet of frontage, they are allowed a maximum of three access
points to Overland Road.
The applicant is proposing three access points on Overland Road. The access points are
proposed to be located in the following locations:
• The applicant is proposing to construct a driveway on Overland Road approximately
240-feet west of Eagle Road
• The applicant is proposing to construct a driveway on Overland Road approximately
550-feet west of Eagle Road
• The applicant is proposing to construct a public road on Overland Road
approximately 950=feet west of Eagle Road
Eldorado.cmm
Page 6
•
District policy requires driveways on arterial roadways to align or offset a 150-feet from any
existing or proposed street. These Spacing requirements are illustrated in Figure 72-F5.
If the driveway is proposed to be located at or near a signalized intersection, the driveway
should align or offset a minimum of 440-feet for a full access driveway or 220-feet for aright-
in/right-out driveway. These spacing requirements are illustrated in Figure 72-F3.
The driveway that is proposed to be located on Overland Road approximately 240-feet west of
Eagle Road meets District policy as a right-in/right-out driveway only. Because it meets
District policy, it should be approved with this application.
The driveway that is proposed to be located on Overland Road approximately 550-feet west of
Eagle Road meets District policy as afull-access driveway. Because it meets District policy, it
should be approved with this application.
District policy 7204.11.6 restricts access to collector and arterial roadways. Due to the fact that
access is restricted on collector and arterial roadways the applicant should construct the new
public streets entering onto the arterial public roadway system to align or offset a minimum
number of feet from any existing or proposed street. These spacing requirements are listed on
in policy number 7204.11.6 and states, "the optimum spacing for collector intersections along
arterials is 1,700-feet to allow adequate signal spacing. The minimum spacing for collector
intersections along arterials is 1,300-feet."
The public roadway access point that is proposed to be located on Overland Road
approximately 950-feet west of Eagle Road is a collector roadway. This specific location does
not meet District policy. Earth Tech, the applicants Traffic Engineer, states, and "the internal
roadways will adequately handle projected traffic volumes at a LOS C or greater according to
the Ada County Roadway Capacity Guidelines. These roads should be constructed to an
ACHD standard for a collector road in a business district."
Due to the fact that the District~approved a similar design on the east side of Eagle Road and
the applicants Traffic Engineer feels that a collector roadway is warranted with this
development, District staff believes that a modification of policy 7204.11.6 is, both, warranted
and justifiable.
J. District policy 7204.7.3 states that access points on arterials are based on the following:
• One access point for less than 150-feet of frontage
• Two access points for 150-600-feet of frontage
• Three access points for greater than 600-feet of frontage.
Access points are considered to be both public streets and driveways. Due to the fact that this
parcel has approximately 1,300 feet of frontage, they are allowed a maximum of three access
points to Overland Road.
The applicant is proposing four access points on Eagle Road. The access points are proposed to
be located in the following locations:

• The applicant is proposing to construct a public roadwav on Eagle Road
approximately 700-feet south of Overland Road
• The applicant is proposing to construct a driveway located on Eagle Road
approximately 1,150-feet south of Overland Road.
• The applicant is proposing to construct a public roadwav on Eagle Road
approximately 1,700-feet south of Overland Road
• The applicant is proposing to construct a public roadwav on Eagle Road
approximately 2,400-feet south of Overland Road
District policy 7204.11.6 restricts access to collector and arterial roadways. Due to the fact that
access is restricted on collector and arterial roadways the applicant should construct the new
public streets entering onto the arterial public roadway system to align or offset a minimum
number of feet from any existing or proposed street. These spacing requirements are listed on
in policy number 7204.11.6.
The public roadwav access point that is proposed to be located on Eagle Road
approximately 700-feet south of Overland Road is a collector roadway. This specific location
does not meet District policy. Earth Tech, the applicants Traffic Engineer, states, "the internal
roadways will adequately handle projected traffic volumes at a LOS C or greater according to
the Ada County Roadway Capacity Guidelines. These roads should be constructed to an
ACRD standard for a collector road in a business district."
Due to the fact that the District approved a similar design on the east side of Eagle Road and
the applicants Traffic Engineer feels that a collector roadway is warranted with this
development, District staff believes that a modification of policy 7204.11.6 is, both, warranted
and justifiable.
The driveway that is proposed to be located on Eagle Road approximately 1,150-feet south of
Overland Road was approved as a modification of policy by the District Commission on
January 16, 2002.
The public roadwav that is proposed to be located on Eagle Road approximately 1,700-feet
south of Overland Road meets District policy. Because it meets District policy, it should be
approved with this application.
The public roadwav access point that is proposed to be located on Eagle Road
approximately 2,400-feet south of Overland Road is a collector roadway. This specific location
meets District policy and should be approved with this application.
K. The applicant is proposing to construct a spine road through the site with connections at
Overland Road and Eagle Road. This roadway (Copper Point Way) is proposed to align with the
roadway that was approved with the Silverstone Corporate Center. Due to the volumes of traffic
this development is expected to generate, the recommendation of the applicants Traffic Engineer,
and the applicant's proposed site plan, the applicant should construct this roadway as a 46-foot
street section with curbs, gutters and sidewalks. The street should be constructed within 70-feet
Eldorado.cmm

•
ofright-of--way. Parking should be restricted on the proposed street, and the applicant should
submit a signage plan prior to final plat approval.
L. The proposed roadway on Eagle Road located approximately 1,700-feet south of Overland Road
is proposed to align with the roadway that was approved with the Silverstone Corporate Center.
Due to the volumes of traffic this development is expected to generate, the recommendation of
the applicants Traffic Engineer, and the applicants proposed site plan, the applicant should
construct this roadway as a 46-foot street section with curbs, gutters and sidewalks. The street
should be constructed within 70-feet ofright-of--way. Parking should be restricted on the
proposed street, and the applicant should submit a signage plan prior to final plat approval.
M. The proposed roadway on Eagle Road located approximately 700-feet south of Overland Road is
proposed to offset a driveway that was approved with the Silverstone Corporate Center. Due to
the volumes of traffic this development is expected to generate, the recommendation of the
applicants Traffic Engineer, and the applicants proposed site plan, the applicant should construct
this roadway as a 46-foot street section with curbs, gutters and sidewalks. The street should be
constructed within 70-feet ofright-of--way. Parking should be restricted on the proposed street,
and the applicant should submit a signage plan prior to final plat approval.
N. The Silverstone Corporate Center has a comparable impact on the public roadway system. The
Silverstone Corporate Center was required to construct center turn lanes on Eagle Road and
Overland Road. To promote consistency and mitigate traffic in the area, the applicant should be
required to construct center turn lanes on Overland Road and Eagle Road for the proposed public
street intersections and for full access driveways.
O. The applicant's site plan indicates a traffic signal on Eagle Road located approximately 1/3-mile
south of Overland Road. According to the submitted traffic study that was submitted by the
Eldorado Business Campus' and the Silverstone Corporate Center's traffic impact studies, at full
build-out, the projects should be required to construct the signal, and the necessary site
improvements associated with the signal.
The Eldorado Business Campus' .traffic impact study specifically addresses the proposed
signalized intersection and states that the Eldorado Business Campus should construct a left turn
bay at the main entrance on Eagle Road.
Based on ACRD Commission action, traffic signals cannot be installed at these intersections
until there is a warrant. The applicant's traffic engineer should work with ACHD Traffic
Services staff to determine when the warrant is met, or is close to being met. The developer
should be financially responsible for the cost of one-half of the signal due to the fact that the
Silverstone Corporate Center was required to contribute the half of the signal. This applicant
should enter into a three way written agreement with the District for the cost and specific location
of the traffic signal.
P. The applicant is proposing to construct several landscape islands throughout the site. Any
proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of--way dedicated by this plat should
Eldorado.cmm
Page 9
be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of this should be required on the
final plat.
Q. The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street to the west property line. District staff
recommends that a stub street be constructed to the west property line to provide connectivity
throughout the area. District policy requires temporary turnarounds at the end of stub streets that
serve more than one lot, or are greater than 150-feet in length. The applicant should be required
to provide a paved temporary turnaround at the west end of the stub street with a temporary
easement provided to the District. 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, and the design of the turnaround (if necessary) with
District staff.
R. The turnarounds should be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of 55-feet.
S. Any existing irrigation facilities should be relocated outside of the right-of--way.
T. Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in writing
