RE: Certificate of Zoning Compliance Application (Update)
Willow Creek Elementary School — Phase Two
Joint School District No. 2
CUP -09-005
Planning Staff:
The Willow Creek Elementary School for the Meridian School District was approved by
Conditional Use on July 28, 2009. (CUP -09-005) and a previous Certificate of Zoning
Compliance was approved December 2010 for a first phase sitework package. The
following application is for an updated Certificate of Zoning Compliance Approval for
the Phase Two building construction project that will begin this summer.
Project Narrative
Willow Creek Elementary School is on a 10.27 acre parcel at the intersection of N. Long
Lake Way and W. Tango Creek Drive in the Lochsa Falls Subdivision in the northern
part of the City. The parcel is identified for public use in the City's Comprehensive Plan
and is zoned R-4.
The K-5 elementary school will be a single story structure of approximately 64,012
square feet. A small 480 square foot storage building for landscape maintenance
equipment is also proposed. Both buildings will have brick exteriors with composition
shingle roofs. The project has been divided into three construction phases. Phase One —
sitework, utility extension, play field landscaping, parking lots and gutters was completed
October 2011. Phase Two — will consist of the remaining sitework and landscaping and a
45,000 square foot elementary building. Phase Three — will consist of the remaining north
classroom wing. It has not been determined when the Phase Three construction will take
place.
Currently the site is designed and constructed to provide 135 full size off street parking
spaces, slightly exceeding the City's minimum based on gross floor area. In addition, 19
parent loading / unloading spaces are provided. Bus loading and unloading is separated
from the main parking and parent loading / unloading area and is served by a separate
driveway. Multiple pedestrian access points are provided on the east, south, and west
sides of the site and bike racks are provided on both sides of the building.
The playground is a mixture of grass, asphalt, and softfall material with amenities
including basketball, tetherball, four-square, climbing and sliding equipment, a multi-
purpose playfield, and a paved walking /jogging path. The existing six foot, solid wood
fence along the northern and northeasterly portions of the site bordering the playground
will remain, and a new six foot, powder coated chain link fence has been constructed
along the entire western property line. The School District requests permission to remove
the existing six foot, solid wood fence from N. Boulder Bar Drive southward to W.
Tango Creek Drive to increase visibility to the front of the school from N. Long Lake
Way for safety and public surveillance reasons.
Landscaping is a mixture of low water usage trees and shrubs with some decorative lawns
and a grass playfield. The school's landscape irrigation system is currently connected to
the subdivision's pressurized irrigation system, but some parking lot and entry area
landscaping will also be connected to City Water. Parking lot and entry area lighting will
be in the form of pole mounted shielded fixtures located and oriented to prevent light
spill off the property.
The roofing material has been modified from the original application from asphalt
shingles to a colored fully adhered single ply membrane roofing material.
Please see accompanying CZC application for additional information regarding site
planning, architecture, and landscape design.
On behalf of Joint School District No. 2, thank you for considering this application.
Please don't hesitate to call with any questions or comments.

B. Findings for Consideration
1, Traffic Impact Study
On July 1st 2003 a statute was implemented, requiring all new public school facilities to be
thoroughly reviewed for impacts to the roadway system. Title 67, Chapter 65 of the State
Local Land Use Planning Law statute specifically states that "Each application (for a public
school) for a permit required or authorized under this chapter shall first be submitted to the
zoning or planning and zoning commission for its recommendation or decision." The statute
continues by saying, "When considering a permit application which relates to a public school
facility, the commission shall specifically review the permit application for the effects it will
have on increased vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian volumes on adjacent roads and
highways. To ensure that the state highway system or the local highway system can
satisfactorily accommodate the proposed school project."
in accordance with the statute, ACHD has required the school district to submit a traffic impact
study addressing the issues identified in the statute and is reporting those findings to the City of
Meridian's Planning and Zoning Commission through the comments below. It is important to note
that with this type of development application (conditional use permit) ACHD is a recommending
agency, who is making a recommendation to the City of Meridian in regards to mitigation and
street improvements necessary to accommodate the impacts from the proposed school site.
Doble Engineering prepared a traffic impact study for the proposed Willow Creek Elementary
School. Below is an amended executive summary of the findings, to include the subsequent
addendum, as presented by Dobie Engineering. ACHD staff comments on the submitted traffic
impact study can be found below under staff comments.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This study was initiated to assess the transportation impacts resulting from the development of
the Willow Creek Elementary School to evaluate the capacity of the road system and necessary
infrastructure to accommodate the traffic and transportation demands of the school. Dobie
Engineering, Inc. was retained by the Meridian School District to perform this traffic study in
accordance with ACHD and City of Meridian policy for development impact studies and the satisfy
the requirements of Idaho Code 67-6599(3).
Willow Creek Elementary School is a proposed 64, 000 square foot structure located at 2500 W.
Tango Creek Drive in the Lochsa Falls Subdivision in Meridian, Idaho. The 90.27 acre site is
located on the west side of Long Lake Way lying south of Chinden Boulevard (US 20/26). At full
utilization, the school will accommodate Kindergarten through eh grade with an enrollment of 700
students. It was assumed in this study that the school will be fully occupied in the 2090 school
year.
Analysis and Review of Future School Site [Per Idaho code 67-6519(3)] as
submitted by Dobie Engineering
Land Use Master Plan — City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan
• School Bus Plan and Parent Drop-off — Separate parent drop-off and bus loop are planned
for the site.
3 MCZC-10-075
Access Safety — State of Idaho IDAPA, 39.03.42 MUTCD, Part 7: Traffic Controls for
School Areas
• Pedestrian and Bicycle Accessibility Plan — Attached is a proposed pedestrian plan
indicating the most likely routes for school access. The attachment identifies existing
traffic control devices, high volume residential streets (over 500 vpd), and areas where
STOP signs are required.
• Crossing Guard Plan — The proposed pedestrian access plan identifies two general areas
where students will cross high volume residential streets, the roundabout and the school
zone. The roundabout has crosswalks and warning signs in place on all approaches. The
necessary signs and crosswalk markings in the school zone are illustrated on the attached
traffic control plan.
It is not known if the school district will assign adult crossing guards to these crosswalks.
The proposed traffic control plan provides the necessary advanced warnings and the
crossing guards are a discretionary enhancement. This decision will be made by the
school district.
• Barriers between the Highway and the Schools — No direct access to the highway is
proposed, and the perimeter of the school property will be fenced abutting Chinden
Blvd/US 20-26.
• Location of School Zone — The school zone is identified on Figure 3, the traffic control plan
submitted as part of the study.
• Need for Flashing Beacon — Flashing beacons are recommended at locations of high
traffic speed. Long Lake is posted at 25 mph only between Chinden and Tango Creek. A
safe approach would be to post the speed limit at 20 mph through this segment. This will
respond to the influence of the school zone and eliminate the need for expensive
mechanical systems.
• Need for Traffic Control Signals — Information not provided.
• Improvements, Speed, Traffic Volumes, and Levels of Service — Information not provided.
• Need for Acceleration or Deceleration Lanes —Information not provided.
• Internal Traffic Circulation — Information not provided.
• Anticipated Development — Information not provided.

Staff CommentlRecommendations:
Staff does not support the recommendation to lower the posted speed on Long Lake Way
from 25 mph to 20 mph, in lieu of installing school speed zone flashers. The purpose of
the school speed zone flashers is to target the reduced speeds to the time during the day
when it is needed, as opposed to artificially reducing the speed the entire day. Long Lake
Way is a collector roadway and a reduction to 20 mph would create enforcement
challenges for the Meridian Policy Department. In the City of Meridian the default speed
limit is 25 mph. Posting Long Lake Way at 20 mph would result in the adjacent local
roadways having a higher posted speed limit than the adjoining collector roadway. The
purpose of the school speed zone flashers is to target the reduced speeds to the time
during the day when it is needed as opposed to artificially reducing the speed the entire
day, as proposed by the applicant. Therefore staff recommends the applicant install
school speed zone flashers on Long Lake Way to clearly identify the school speed zone
and the reduced speed limit during those times it is warranted.
• School speed zone flashers are also recommended on Tango Creek Drive west of the
school property due to the proposed location for the school's driveway on Tango Creek
Way. Tango Creek Drive will provide the main vehicular access to the school and will also
have a pedestrian crossing, which is in close proximity to the Tango Creek/ Long Lake
Way intersection. Installation of school speed zone flashers on Tango Creek Drive will act
as a reminder to drivers in the area that they are in a school zone and need to watch for
pedestrians in the area. Although Tango Creek Drive is classified as a local roadway
flashing beacons have been installed on other local roadways within a school zone with
similar characteristics.
• If the school district does not install school speed zone flashers on Long Lake Way and
Tango Creek Way prior to the opening of Willow Creek Elementary School, any future
request for such improvements will not be funded by ACHD. The school district will be
fully responsible for the design, hardware, and installation of the school speed zone
flashers, either now or in the future. .
The submitted pedestrian plan provides much of the information needed to determine the
designated routes for the students of Willow Creek Elementary school. However, the
projected pedestrian trips were not included as part of the analysis. In the same way that
a traffic study estimates the number and distribution of vehicle traffic, the pedestrian plan
should estimate the number of pedestrians using each designated route. Those numbers
are used to determine appropriate signs and pavement markings along the designated
walk routes, but until the school is open it is difficult to determine routes and pedestrian
trips. One particular area of concern is the roundabout at the Cayuse/Long Lake/Goddard
intersection. While this intersection is signed and has defined marked crosswalks, the
anticipated number of students using this crossing is unknown. Because the anticipated
number of students crossing at the roundabout is unknown and the submitted pedestrian
plan does identify students crossing the roundabout, the applicant will be required to
replace the existing standard crosswalk signs with S1-1 school signs on all 4 approaches.
Because the actual pedestrian routes and anticipated volumes are unknown at this time,
additional crossings, striping and signage may be needed to be installed after walk to
school routes are established. The school district will be responsible for the design,
funding, and installation of any additional crosswalks, pedestrian signals, ramps, striping,
signs, etc... needed to facilitate a safe route to school.
5 MCZC-10-075
• The submitted traffic study identifies that Long Lake Way and Tango Creek will be
restricted to no parking within the school zone. Staff is supportive of this recommendation
because of the congestion near elementary schools. The applicant will be responsible for
the installation of NO PARKING signs along both sides of Long Lake Way and on both
sides Tango Creek Way between the Tango Creek/Long Lake intersection and the schools
proposed driveways.
As part of the submitted traffic impact study for Willow Creek Elementary School the
applicants engineer submitted a traffic control plan. Staff generally agrees with the signage
and crosswalk locations proposed with the traffic control plan; with the exception of the
reduction to a 20 mph speed limit sign on Long Lake Way. The ultimate location of the type
and location of the signage will be determined by District Traffic Services staff when plans
are submitted to ACRD. The applicant will be responsible for the purchase and installation
of signage and striping of crosswalks as deemed necessary to serve the school site.

2. Chinden Boulevard
Chinden Boulevard is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). The
applicant, the City of Meridian, and ITD should work together to determine if additional right-of-
way or improvements are necessary on Chinden Boulevard.
3. Long Lake Way
Right -of -Way Policy: District policy requires 70 -feet of right-of-way on collector roadways
(Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way width allows for the construction of a 3 -lane roadway with curb,
gutter, 5 -foot wide detached sidewalks and bike lanes.
7 MCZC-10-075
Residential Collector Policy: District policy 72-F1A, 7202.3.2 and 7202.3.5, requires that
residential collectors be constructed as 36 -foot street sections with curb, gutter and 5 -foot wide
concrete sidewalks with no front -on housing. The access restrictions for these street segments
should be stated on the final plat. Unless otherwise noted, parking should be prohibited on these
street segments. Coordinate the signage Program with District staff.
Applicant Proposal: As identified in the submitted traffic impact study, the applicant has
proposed to reduce the speed limit on Long Lake Way to 20 MPH and to install NO PARKING
signs on Long Lake Way abutting the school site.
Staff Comments/ Recommendation: Long Lake Way is already fully improved with curb, gutter,
and a pathway on the east side of the roadway. Therefore, no additional right-of-way for street
improvements are required with this application. A sidewalk is not necessary on Long Lake Way
abutting the school because there will not be pedestrians crossing Chinden Boulevard to reach
the school. If there are, then they can utilize the existing pathway on the east side of Long Lake
Way and cross at Tango Creek Drive in a designated crosswalk. As noted above, the applicant's
proposal to reduce the speed limit on Long Lake Way abutting the site will not be approved.
Therefore, the applicant will be required to install school speed zone flashers on Long Lake Way
to clearly identify the school speed zone and the reduced speed limit during the appropriate
hours.
• The applicant will be required to coordinate and fund the design and installation of the
school speed zone flashers with District Traffic Services and Development Review staff.
• The applicant's proposal to install NO PARKING signs along Long Lake Way is approved as
proposed. The applicant will be required to coordinate and fund the location of the signs
with District Traffic Services and Development Review staff.
• The existing cross -walk at Long Lake Way and Boulder Bar Drive will need to be striped and
signed with S1-1 school signs.
• The applicant will be fully responsible for the funding, design, hardware, and installation of
the school speed zone flashers, the installation of all signage, roadway striping, and any
additional pedestrian improvements deemed necessary on Long Lake Way, either before or
after the school is opened.
4. Tango Creek
Right -of -Way Policy: District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-F1A requires 50 -feet of right-of-way
on local streets. This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 2 -lane roadway with curb, gutter
and 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalks.
36 -foot Street Policy: District policy 7204.4.2 states, "developments with any buildable lot that is
less that 1 -acre in size will typically provide streets having a minimum pavement width of 32 -feet
with curb, gutter and sidewalks. The total street width shall be 36 -feet from back -of -curb to back -
of -curb. Variations of this width may be allowed, depending on traffic volumes forecast to be
generated by the development. Concrete sidewalks shall be a minimum of 5 -feet in width unless
they are separated from the curb 5 -feet or more in which case the sidewalk shall be a minimum of
4 -feet in width.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to install NO PARKING signs on Tango Creek
Drive on both sides of the roadway between the Long Lake Way/Tango Creek intersection and
the schools proposed driveway (approximately 160 -feet).
Staff Comments/Recommendation: Tango Creek Drive is already fully improved with curb,
gutter, and sidewalk. Therefore, no additional right-of-way for street improvements are required
8 MCZC-10-075
with this application. The applicant's proposal to install NO PARKING signs along Tango Creek
Drive is approved as proposed. The applicant will be required to coordinate the location of the
signs with District Traffic Services and Development Review staff.
5. Driveways
Driveway Offset Policy: District policy 72-F4 (1) requires driveways located on collector
roadways near a signalized intersection to be located a minimum of 175 -feet from the signalized
intersection for a full -access driveway and a minimum of 85 -feet from the signalized intersection
for a right-in/right-out only driveway.
Institutional Driveway Policy: District policy 7207.9.3 restricts institutional driveways with daily
traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles to a maximum width of 36 -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.
Driveway Paving Policy: 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.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to utilize the two existing driveways located on
Long Lake Way and Tango Creek Drive.
• The driveway on Long Lake Way is located approximately 500 feet north of Tango Creek
Drive and is 32 -feet wide. This driveway is planned for bus traffic only, and aligns with
Boulder Bar Drive on the east side of Long Lake Way. The driveway should be signed to
indicate that it is for bus traffic only.
The driveway on Tango Creek Driveway is located approximately 160 -feet west of Long
Lake Drive and is 35 -feet wide.. This driveway is planned for parent -drop off, and aligns
