3. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT)
Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD's most current traffic counts.
The average daily traffic count for Chinden Boulevard west of Linder Road was 16,217 on
November 10, 2009.
C. Findings for Consideration
1. Chinden Boulevard (Hwy. 20/26)
Chinden Boulevard (Hwy. 20/26) is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department
(ITD). The applicant, city of Meridian, and ITD should work together to determine if additional
right-of-way or improvements are necessary on Chinden Boulevard (Hwy. 20/26).
Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant is proposing one new public street onto
Chinden Boulevard in alignment with Long Lake Way, an existing signalized intersection. Staff is
supportive of this proposal.
The applicant is proposing to convert the existing Spurwing Way access onto Chinden Boulevard
from full-access to right-in/right-out only by constructing a center `pork-chop style' island. Staff
would recommend that with the newly proposed public street onto Chinden Boulevard (at the
signalized intersection), the existing Spurwing Way access is unnecessary and either be
eliminated or at a minimum restricted to right-in/right-out only, as proposed by the applicant.

2. Spurwing Way
a. Existing Conditions: Spurwing Way is improved with 2-travel lanes and no curb, gutter or
sidewalk abutting the site. There is 70-feet of right-of-way for Spurwing Way (35-feet from
centerline).
b. Policy:
Local Roadway Policy: District Policy 7207.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all local street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is
taken to all of the adjacent streets.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District Policy 7207.5 states that right-of-way
widths for all local streets shall generally not be less than 50-feet wide and that the standard
street section shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The District will consider the
utilization of a street width less than 36-feet with written fire department approval.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7207.5.7 states that five-foot wide concrete sidewalk is
required on both sides of all local street, except those in rural developments with net densities
of one dwelling unit per 1.0 acre or less, or in hillside conditions where there is no direct lot
frontage, in which case a sidewalk shall be constructed along one side of the street. Some
local jurisdictions may require wider sidewalks.
The sidewalk may be placed next to the back-of-curb. Where feasible, a parkway strip at least
8-feet wide between the back-of-curb and the street edge of the sidewalk is recommended to
provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians and to allow for the planting of trees in
accordance with the District's Tree Planting Policy. If no trees are to be planted in the
parkway strip, the applicant may submit a request to the District, with justification, to reduce
the width of the parkway strip.
Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway.
Meandering sidewalks are discouraged.
Appropriate easements shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed out of the right-of--way.
The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-of-way line and 2-feet
behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located wholly within the
public right-of-way or wholly within an easement.
Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to
existing streets adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These improvements
are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk construction
or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused
driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps;
pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items.

permissible where adequate pavement width is provided on each side of the median to
accommodate the travel lanes and where the following is provided:
• The median is platted as right-of-way owned by ACRD.
• The width of an island near an intersection is 12-feet maximum for a minimum distance of
150-feet. Beyond the 150-feet, the island may increase to a maximum width of 30-feet.
• At an intersection that is signalized or is to be signalized in the future, the median width
shall be reduced to accommodate the necessary turn lane storage and tapers.
• The Developer or Homeowners Association shall apply for a license agreement if
landscaping is to be placed within these medians.
4 Spurwing Challenge
• The license agreement shall contain the District's requirements of the developer including,
but not limited to, a "hold harmless" clause; requirements for maintenance by the
developer; liability insurance requirements; and restrictions.

Stub Streets Policy: District Policy 7207.2.4 states that stub streets will be required to
provide circulation or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with
the requirements described in Section 7207.2.5.4, except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be
required if the stub street has a length no greater than 150-feet. A sign shall be installed at
the terminus of the stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE
FUTURE."
In addition, stub streets must meet the following conditions:
• A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the nearest street intersection within the
proposed development and drain surface water towards that intersection; unless an
alternative storm drain system is approved by the District.
The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will remain
free of obstructions.
Temporary Dead End Streets Policy: District Policy 7207.2.4 requires that the design and
construction for cul-de-sac streets shall apply to temporary dead end streets. The temporary
cul-de-sac shall be paved and shall be the dimensional requirements of a standard cul-de-sac.
The developer shall grant a temporary turnaround easement to the District for those portions
of the cul-de-sac which extend beyond the dedicated street right-of-way. In the instance

Block 3.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Stub Streets
Policy; however, due to the fact that the stub street extends greater than 150-feet the
applicant should be required to provide a paved temporary cul-de-sac at the terminus of Island
Green Court. The turnaround should be the dimensional requirements of a standard cul-de-
sac.
The applicant should be required to install a sign at the terminus of the stub street stating that,
"THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."
7. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Policy prohibits all trees in

allowed in planters with a minimum width of 8-feet, and Class I and Class III trees may be allowed
in planters with a minimum width of 10-feet.
8. Landscaping
Landscaping Policy: A license agreement is required for all landscaping proposed within ACHD
right-of-way or easement areas. Trees shall be located no closer than 10-feet from all public
storm drain facilities. Landscaping should be designed to eliminate site obstructions in the vision
triangle at intersections. District Policy 5104.3.1 requires a 40-foot vision triangle and a 3-foot
height restriction on all landscaping located at an uncontrolled intersection and a 50-foot offset
from stop signs. Landscape plans are required with the submittal of civil plans and must meet all

Re: The Club at Spurwing - AZ 11-005, RZ 11-006, PP 11-011, CUP 11-009
Dear MS Hill:
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has reviewed the referenced development
application. There are several key issues for your agency's review.
Please note that ITD has an existing corridor plan and an existing access management plan for
the section US 20-26 abutting the applicant's site.
The new public road access (North Spurwing Way) location meets District policies. The
location is aligned with the existing Long Lake Way and meets existing access spacing
standards. ITD will require a standard approach permit for this new approach. The
approach permit will require detailed engineering drawings and may require additional
traffic information. Please contact Matt Ward at 334.8341 to complete the necessary
application paperwork.
2. There is an existing traffic signal at the US 20-26 intersection with Long Lake Way. The
site plan shows the new North Spurwing Way roadway aligning with Long Lake Way. The
applicant will be required to reconstruct and expand the existing traffic signal. Please
coordinate the signal design with ACRD staff once the access permit is approved by ITD.
3. The new North Spurwing Way will replace the existing Spurwing Way, located
approximately 660-ft to the west. The original site plan for this project showed a cul-de-
sac for the original Spurwing Way, closing the existing intersection, and renaming the
original street as Spurwing Court. The current site plan shows retaining the existing
Spurwing Way but limiting the US 20-26 intersection to right-in/right-out operation. The
existing Spurwing Way intersection does not meet current ITD policy for intersection
separation. The existing intersection does not meet the access management plan for the
corridor. The access permit application for the new North Spurwing Way should include a
plan to close the existing Spurwing Way intersection with US 20-26.

4. The US 20-26 corridor plan identifies a 200-ft right-of--way or 100-ft on either side of the
section line. The project site appears to have 50-ft ofright-of--way at the present time. This
development project should dedicate a total of 100-ft ofright-of--way, approximately 50
additional feet.
5. The corridor's importance and future traffic volumes on US 20-26 indicate that traffic noise
may become an issue to any residential developments near the roadway corridor. ITD does
not install noise walls or noise berms. Any noise wall or noise berm considered for abutting
US 20-26 should be constructed by the applicant and located outside the public right-of--way.
6. A second right-in access is shown on the concept plan, approximately 500-ft west of Linder
Road. The development application indicates that this second access is not part of the current
project. This second access does not meet current ITD policy, does not match the corridor
access management plan, and is not approved. A separate approach permit will be required if
this second access is requested at a later date. The necessary approach permit will require
detailed engineering drawings and may require some level of traffic analysis. Please contact
Matt Ward at 334.8341 to complete the necessary application paperwork.
If you have any questions, you may contact Matt Ward at 334-8341 or me at 334-8377.
Sincerely,
