This development was estimated to generate approximately 1,200 additional vehicle trips per day. • On July 28, 1999, the Commission reviewed MAZ-99-008/MCUP99-0026, a request for conditional use approval for a 32,000 -square foot office building. The 3.77 -acre site is located at the northwest corner of Eagle Road and 1-84, north of Gentry Way and east of Allen Street. This development was estimated to generate approximately 1,120 additional vehicle trips per day. This application was approved subject to the overlay impact fee imposed by the Commission on December 30, 1998 as part of the action on MCU-43-97/MA-13-97. • On August 11, 1999, the Commission reviewed MCUP99-23, a request for conditional use approval for phase three of the St. Luke's Medical center (see St. Luke's Driveway below). That 37.5 -acre site is located at the northeast corner of 1-84 and Eagle Road, adjacent to the subject site's southern boundary. The total square footage of phases one thru three is 450,600 -square feet, which was estimated to generate a total of 5,200 vehicle trips per day. A further indicator of the rapidity of growth in this area is that St. Luke's did not anticipate the construction of this phase for several more years, according to their staff. On November 17, 1999, the Commission reviewed Woodbridge Subdivision, which is a 283 -lot residential subdivision on 80.83 -acres, located east of Locust Grove Road approximately'/ of a mile south of Franklin Road. The development was estimated to generate 2,871 additional vehicle trips per day. On January 5, 2000, the Commission reviewed Touchmark Living Center, a 19 -lot mixed-use subdivision consisting of 8 residential lots, assisted care facilities, commercial and office space. The 113 -acre site is located on the south side of Franklin Road approximately'/ of a mile east of Eagle Road. This development was estimated to generate 9,024 additional vehicle trips per day. Two street connections to Franklin Road, located at 1/3 mile intervals were approved with this application. These intersections aligned with previously established intersection locations. A public stub street was constructed on the east side of Montvue Subdivision with this development. This stub was constructed with the thought that Montvue Subdivision would redevelop into non-residential uses in the future and needed better access to Franklin Road. The stub street is approximately 250 -feet north of the subject parcel. A private street connection between the Touchmark site and St. Luke's site was constructed with the development. On November 29, 2000, the Commission reviewed MCUP00-049, a request for conditional use approval to construct a 5,260 -square foot bank with drive-thru window. The 0.95 -acre site is located on the west side of St. Luke's Drive (private)/Allen Street extended, and north of Magic View Drive. This development was estimated to generate 1,400 additional vehicle trips per day. This application was approved subject to the overlay impact fee imposed by the Commission on December 30, 1998 as part of the action on MCU-43-97/MA-13-97. On November 29, 2000, the Commission reviewed MCUP00-053, a request for a conditional use approval to construct an 87 -room hotel within the Midvalley Subdivision. The 2.66 -acre site is located at the northeast corner of Magic View Drive and Allen Street. This development was estimated to generate 716 additional vehicle trips per day based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation manual. The Commission previously reviewed and approved this site as MAZ99- 0022/MCUP99-0040, a rezone and conditional use application for an office and restaurant. 4 In January of 2001, ACHD reviewed an application requesting conditional use approval to construct a 1,743 -square foot fast food restaurant with a drive-thru. The 0.97 -acre site is located on the northeast corner of Magic View Drive and Allen Street in Boyd Subdivision. This development is estimated to generate 866 additional vehicle trips per day (0 existing) based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual. In August of 2001, ACHD reviewed a preliminary plat for a 3 -lot commercial subdivision (Treasure View Subdivision recorded as Boyd Subdivision) on 2.85 -acres. The site is located on the west side of Eagle Road approximately'/4 of a mile south of Franklin Road. This development is estimated to generate 264 additional vehicle trips per day. On September 26, 2001, the Commission reviewed Mystery View Subdivision, a preliminary plat for a 3 -lot commercial subdivision on 5.21 -acres. The site is located on the northwest corner of South Allen Street and Magic View Drive. This development was estimated to generate 164 additional vehicle trips per day (1,828 existing) based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual. St. Luke's Driveway: The construction of St. Luke's Regional medical complex has become a major traffic generator/attractor. When St: Luke's requested a driveway and traffic signal on Eagle Road, the requested location was opposite Magic View Drive. District staff collaborated with ITD District 3 staff to recommend denial of the signal and denial of a full access driveway opposite Magic View on the basis of its proximity to the 1-84 ramps. St. Luke's was allowed to construct a full access, signalized driveway at the north boundary of the St. Luke's property. The St. Luke's driveway opposite Magic View Drive was approved as a right-in/right-out driveway. When the District reviewed the application for the second phase of St. Luke's development, ACHD staff recommended that the approved signalized driveway be made a public street and extended east to St. Luke's Property boundary. The basis for this recommendation was the anticipated related development of the adjoining property and the need for access to a signalized intersection with Eagle Road. Both St Luke's and the residents of Montvue Subdivision, a large lot residential subdivision immediately north of St. Luke's, opposed this recommendation. As a result of that opposition, the ACHD Commission allowed St. Luke's to proceed with a private driveway. Subsequent to the Commission action on the second phase, the residents of Montvue Subdivision perceived that their property was now more valuable as commercial property than residential and access to St. Luke's Driveway would be beneficial. They asked the District to require St. Luke's to dedicate the driveway as a public street a sufficient distance to allow a full access driveway or street connection between Montvue Subdivision and Eagle Road. Both the District Commissioners and the Meridian City Council declined the request. St. Luke's advised District staff and the Commission that St. Luke's would allow access to their driveway from Montvue Subdivision for residential uses only and would provide up to $100, 000 to construct a connection. The residents of Montvue Subdivision declined this offer and attempted to convince both the City of Meridian and ACHD to require St. Luke's to allow unrestricted access to the driveway. Both the City and ACHD declined this request again. Some residents of Montvue Subdivision sued the City of Meridian in an attempt to overtum the City's approval of the St. Luke's expansion. In 1999, an application was made to develop the 130 -acres east of St. Luke's as a retirement community. St. Luke's was in collaboration with the developer (Touchmark Subdivision) and entered into an agreement with Touchmark that allowed traffic to flow back and forth between the two properties. While reviewing the Touchmark application, the District retained Six Mile Engineering to evaluate the Franklin Roa&Eagle Road intersection and the Franklin Road corridor to identify improvements that would be needed to accommodate various levels of traffic volume. Six Mile's 5 recommendations included added turn lanes to the intersection and added lanes to both the 1-84 westbound ramp and Eagle Road from 1-84 to Franklin Road. The report from Six Mile also concluded that a connection from Touchmark to St. Luke's signalized intersection would defer the need for the improvements to the Franklin Road/ Eagle Road intersection for a short time. The report from Six Mile also estimated that about 60,150 additional trips in the Eagle Road/Franklin Road area could be expected in the next several years as development built out. Staff's report recommended that Touchmark either construct the improvements to the intersection or obtain an agreement with St. Luke's to allow access to Eagle Road at St. Luke's signalized intersection. St Luke's agreed to this requirement and a development agreement was prepared and entered into between the ACHD and Touchmark describing the various conditions and requirements imposed by ACHD. Most if not all of the property in the Montvue Subdivision will ultimately be developed for office or commercial uses and they need better access to both Franklin Road and Eagle Road. As a part of the Touchmark conditions, Touchmark constructed a public road to the eastern boundary of Montvue Subdivision. It is anticipated that this public road will be extended into the Montvue Subdivision and provide the lots within the development with access to Franklin Road. B. Findings for Consideration 1. Montvue Drive Right -of -Way District policy requires 54 -feet of right-of-way on industrial/commercial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 3 -lane roadway with curb, gutter and 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalks. In accordance with District policy, the applicant should be required to dedicate an additional 7 -feet of right-of-way for Montvue Drive. Street Section 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. Roadway Improvements District policy 7203.4 states that the developer is responsible for improving all street frontages abutting the site, regardless of whether access is taken to all of the abutting streets. If a proposed development abuts a paved local street, or streets, the developer shall widen the existing pavement to one-half the required street width and construct improvements, curb, gutter and sidewalk abutting the development, unless these improvements already exist. The District requires dedication of additional right-of-way to accommodate one-half of the required street width according to District Standards (District policy 7203.4.1). In addition, 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 deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. In accordance with District policy, the applicant should be required to widen Montvue Drive to one-half of a 40 -foot street section and construct curb, gutter and sidewalk abutting the site. 9 2. Access Points Location 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). Width 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. In accordance with District policy, any driveways on Montvue Drive should be constructed to be a maximum of 35 -feet. Construction 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 any driveways) abutting public streets to their full width and at least 30 -feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway. 3. Private Streets District policy 7205.6 requires other jurisdictions in Ada County to establish the requirements for private streets. The District retains authority and will review the proposed intersection of a private and public street for compliance with District intersection policies and standards. 4. New Industrial Commercial/Local Streets District policy 7202.8.3 states that through traffic in industrial and commercial developments is permitted. However, District policy 7202.8.3 also states that through traffic to or from residential areas will normally not be allowed. District policy 7202.2.3 states that new developments shall be designed so as to avoid increasing through traffic on existing local streets, unless those streets have been previously designed for extension. Due to the location of St. Luke's Drive (a private driveway), abutting the south side of the site, Montvue Drive should not be extended to the south via a public street. If Montvue Drive were connected to St. Luke's Drive, staff anticipates that additional through traffic would increase in the existing Montvue Subdivision. C. Anticipated Site -Specific Conditions Dedicate an additional 7 -feet of right-of-way for Montvue Drive abutting the site and widen Montvue Drive abutting the site to one-half of a 40 -foot street section and construct curb, gutter and sidewalk. 2. Construct any driveways on Montvue Drive a minimum of 50 -feet from any intersection. Any driveways on Montvue Drive should be constructed to be a maximum of 35 -feet wide. Pave any driveway(s) abutting public streets to their full width and at least 30 -feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of Montvue Drive. 3. Comply with all Standard Conditions of Approval. 7 • D. Standard Conditions of Approval 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 by the developer. 3. Replace any existing damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk and any that may be damaged during the construction of the proposed development. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file number) for details. 4. 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. 5. All design and construction shall be in accordance with the Ada County Highway District Policy Manual, ISPWC Standards and approved supplements, Construction Services procedures and all applicable ACHD Ordinances unless specifically waived herein. An engineer registered in the State of Idaho shall prepare and certify all improvement plans. 6. The applicant shall submit revised plans for staff approval, prior to issuance of building permit (or other required permits), which incorporates any required design changes. 7. Construction, use and property development shall be in conformance with all applicable requirements of the Ada County Highway District prior to District approval for occupancy. 8. Payment of applicable road impact fees are required prior to building construction in accordance with Ordinance #197, also known as Ada County Highway District Road Impact Fee Ordinance. 9. It is the responsibility of the applicant to verify all existing utilities within the right-of-way. Existing utilities damaged by the applicant shall be repaired by the applicant at no cost to ACRD. The applicant shall be required to call DIGLINE (1-800-342-1585) at least two full business days prior to breaking ground within ACHD right-of-way. The applicant shall contact ACHD Traffic Operations 387- 6190 in the event any ACHD conduits (spare or filled) are compromised during any phase of construction. 10. No change in the terms and conditions of this approval shall be valid unless they are in writing and 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 the Highway District of its intent to change the planned use of the subject property unless a waiver/variance of said requirements or other legal relief is granted pursuant to the law in effect at the time the change in use is sought. L 0 0 E. Conclusions of Law 1. The proposed site plan is approved, if all of the Site Specific and Standard Conditions of Approval are satisfied. 2. ACHD requirements are intended to assure that the proposed use/development will not place an undue burden on the existing vehicular and pedestrian transportation system within the vicinity impacted by the proposed development.

Waterto we 'St 2 Meridian, ID 83642=2600 DATE: October 17, 2003 RE: Alternative compliance request for'th'e Spine Institute of Idaho Dear Anna: In ,accordance with section 12-13-18 ('Alternative'Compliange) of the City of Meridian s - Landscape Ordinance, 'Pinnacle Engineers, Inc. is' requesting' a'r,eduction in the mitigation trees required for the Spine Institute of Idaho development, (fka Montvue ' Spinal' Institute). The above-mentioned development is the first commercial, project in the Montvue Subdivision and the conversion of the subdivision from residential to commercial will' � require the , removal of much of the existing residential landscaping There ar' e many- mature trees located on the Spine Institute of Idaho property that will, need to be removed for the construction of the new facility, with several of the trees being 24' -30" in caliper, inches. When calculating the number of inches of trees to be mitigated it became apparent that we would not be able to plant anequal number ofcalipers as -required, by _ section 12-13-13-6 of the Landscape Ordinance. In�total there'are well over200�caliper_ inches of trees'that need to bemitigate& for,;_excluding those;,trees that Elroy Buff the,, City Arborist deemed as hazard dying or nuisance trees. On the positive side, we are able: to retain at least 72 caliper inches of trees onsite: i Thesubject property is less than one acre in size, and it will not be possible for us to' - incorporate an additional 1100+ two inch caliper trees, or 70+ three inch caliper trees, ,or 50+ four inch caliper trees etc.'..' 'therefore we are in need of a reduction of landscaping requirements s-thg p through alternative compliance. IThe alternative compliance lienee section of the code 'requires that, one ormore of the conditions of 12-134872 are met and,'the proposed, project meets at least two of them; (B), the site involves space limitations ,and (C) due to the change of use, on an existing site the required landscaping cannot be provided. The intent of the mitigation of mature trees is to provide an incentive for saving'as_ man ` y mature trees as possible' and a disincentive for,'removing existing trees., Unfortunately, the change of this neighborhood from residential to commercial will; re quire, the removal. of many mature trees. The number of trees being,planted for this project 'exceeds the number, of trees being ren%oved,; although the caliper inch,, of trees will not, be equal.
