3. Site History: ACHD Commission previously reviewed this site as Pinebridge-MPP-07-008/MRZ-
07-010/MAZ-07-006 in August 2007. The requirements of this staff report are not consistent with
those of the prior action, due to the applicant's proposal not to extend and construct Hickory
Avenue, as a public street (see Finding for Consideration 3).
4. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any
building permits. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in
effect at that time.
5. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/Five Year Work Plan (FYWP):
There are currently no roadways, bridges or intersections in the general vicinity of the project that
are currently in the Five Year Work Program or the District's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 2,700 additional vehicle trips per
day (0 existing); 450 additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour (0 existing), based on
the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 9th edition. This estimate is
based on the trip generation for Manufacturing, Warehouse, and Corporate HQ Buildings.
2. Condition of Area Roadways

* Acceptable level of service for afive-lane minor arterial is "D" (1,540 VPH).
** ACHD does not set level of service thresholds for State Highways.
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 Eagle Road south of Pine Avenue was 51,788 on
12/7/11.
The average daily traffic count for Pine Avenue west of Eagle Road was 10,421 on
11 /26/12.
C. Findings for Consideration
1. Eagle Road/State Highway '
Eagle Road 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 Eagle Road.
2. Pine Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: Pine Avenue is improved with 5-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and
5-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is 96-feet of right-of-way for Pine Avenue (48-
feet from centerline).
2 Scentsy Commons/MPP-12-012
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.
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, arterial street requirements, and specific roadway
features required through development. This segment of Pine Avenue is designated in the
MSM as a Planned Commercial Arterial with 5-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 82-foot street
section within 108-feet of right-of-way.
b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Pine Avenue
abutting the site.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Pine Avenue is already improved with 5-lanes, curb,
gutter and sidewalk, abutting this site; staff does not recommend any additional street
improvements or right-of--way dedication as part of this application.
The applicant should be required to replace any broken or deteriorated curb, gutter, and
sidewalk abutting the site, consistent with the District's Minor Improvement policy.
3.
Hickory Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: Hickory Avenue is not constructed abutting the site.
b. Policy:
Collector Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all collector frontages adjacent to the site or internal to the development as required
below, regardless of whether access is taken to all of the adjacent streets.
Master Street Map and Typologies Policy: District policy 7206.5 states that if the collector
street is designated with a typology on the Master Street Map, that typology shall be
considered for the required street improvements. If there is no typology listed in the Master
Street Map, then standard street sections shall serve as the default.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard
right-of-way width for collector streets shall typically be 50 to 70-feet, depending on the
location and width of the sidewalk and the location and use of the roadway. The right-of--way
width may be reduced, with District approval, if the sidewalk is located within an easement; in
which case the District will require a minimum right-of-way width that extends 2-feet behind
the back-of-curb on each side.
The standard street section shall be 46-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width typically
accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and
bike lanes.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy 7206.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalks at least 5-feet wide to
be constructed on both sides of all collector streets. A parkway strip at least 6-feet wide
between the back-of-curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased
safety and protection of pedestrians. Consult the District's planter width policy if trees are to
be placed within the parkway strip. Sidewalks constructed next to the back-of--curb shall be a
minimum of 7-feet wide.
Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway.
Meandering sidewalks are discouraged.
3 Scentsy Commons/MPP-12-012
A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of
the dedicated 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.).
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway
features required through development. Anew collector roadway was identified on the MSM
with the street typology of Industrial Collector. The new collector roadway should align with
Hickory Avenue on the north side of Pine Avenue and continue through the property stubbing
to the west. The Industrial Collector typology as depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide
recommends a 3 lane roadway with bike lanes, and on street parking, a 50-foot street section
within 74-feet of right-of--way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a private drive aisle located
1,986-feet west of Eagle Road (measured centerline-to-centerline).
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District policy,
or ACHD's prior action on Pinebridge Subdivision which requires the construction of Hickory
Avenue, as a public industrial collector roadway. However, staff recommends a modification
to ACHD's prior action on Pinebridge Subdivision and to the MSM to remove Hickory Avenue
as an industrial collector from the map and to remove the extension of the industrial collector
west onto Commercial Street out to Locust Grove from the MSM.
Staff's recommendation is due to the fact that the applicant has control over several properties
adjacent to and south of the planned extension of Hickory Avenue. These properties are
being developed by a sole organization as a business campus to include manufacturing,
distribution, and office uses, not by various independent owners and uses of whom would
benefit from a public street, which was originally envisioned at the time of ACHD's preliminary
plat action on Pinebridge Subdivision.
Additionally, Hickory Avenue would have connected to Commercial Court, an existing private
road creating a public connection to a private street. Vehicular connectivity in the area will still
be provided through other area public streets (Machine, Web, Nola, and Commercial).
Staff recommends approval of the applicant's proposal not to construct Hickory Avenue as a
public street, but as a private drive aisle, removing it from the MSM. The City of Meridian is
supportive of this proposal, as the Meridian City Council has already approved the application
with the private drive aisle.
Although staff is recommending that Hickory be constructed as a private drive aisle, the
applicant does not have control of, or own all of the remaining properties abutting Commercial
Court that would take access to Hickory Avenue as a public street. Therefore, staff
recommends that the applicant provide the District with a signed affidavit for any property not
controlled or owned by the applicant stating that they do not require access to Hickory Street
as a public street prior to ACHD's signature on the final plat. If applicant cannot obtain control
of the properties or provide signed affidavits, the applicant should be required to redesign the
plat to include the construction of Hickory Avenue, as a public street.
ACHD's prior action on the Pinebridge Subdivision required the installation of a signal at the
Pine/Hickory intersection when Hickory was to be extended as a public street; however due to
the change in use, and the proposal to construct Hickory as a private drive aisle, staff
recommends that the signal not be installed at this time. If a signal in this location is
warranted in the future, ACHD will install the signal.

4. Machine Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: Machine Avenue is improved for 222-feet as a 40-foot street section
with 2-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and 7-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is
54-feet of right-of--way for Machine Avenue (26-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.
Standard Urban Local Street-36-foot to 33-foot Street Section and Right-of-way Policy:
District Policy 7207.5.2 states that the standard street section shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to
back-of-curb) for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. This
street section shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot concrete sidewalks on both sides
and shall typically be within 50-feet of right-of-way.
The District will also consider the utilization of a street width less than 36-feet with written fire
department approval. Most often this width is a 33-foot street section (back-of-curb to back-
of-curb) for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size.
Continuation of Streets Policy: District Policy 7207.2.4 states that an existing street, or a
street in an approved preliminary plat, which ends at a boundary of a proposed development
shall be extended in that development. The extension shall include provisions for continuation
of storm drainage facilities. Benefits of connectivity include but are not limited to the following:
• Reduces vehicle miles traveled.
• Increases pedestrian and bicycle connectivity.
• Increases access for emergency services.
• Reduces need for additional access points to the arterial street system
• Promotes the efficient delivery of services including trash, mail and deliveries.
• Promotes appropriate intra-neighborhood traffic circulation to schools, parks,
neighborhood commercial centers, transit stops, etc.
• Promotes orderly development.
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.
5 Scentsy Commons/MPP-12-012
A permanent right-of--way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of
the dedicated 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.).
Half Street Policy: District Policy 7207.2.2 required improvements shall consist of pavement
widening to one-half the required width, including curb, gutter and concrete sidewalk
(minimum 5-feet), plus 12-feet of additional pavement widening beyond the centerline
established for the street to provide an adequate roadway surface, with the pavement
crowned at the ultimate centerline. A 3-foot wide gravel shoulder and a borrow ditch sized to
accommodate the roadway storm runoff shall be constructed on the unimproved side.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Machine
Avenue.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The location of Machine Avenue, abutting the site's
west property line, was approved as part of Pinebridge Subdivision with Machine Avenue to
be constructed as a 40-foot commercial roadway within 54-feet of right-of--way. Additionally,
an approach for the future roadway was constructed as part of the Pine Avenue widening
project. Based on the location of the approach a majority of the roadway will be constructed
on the adjacent parcel, as such the adjoining property owner (Pinebridge) will be responsible
for constructing half the street plus 12-feet of Machine Avenue when that property develops.
To complete the street when the adjacent parcel develops, staff recommends that the
applicant dedicate additional right-of-way from their west property line to a minimum 2-feet
behind future curb abutting the site and provide the District with a permanent right-of-way
easement for any portion of the future sidewalk located outside of right-of-way. Additionally,
the applicant should be required to provide the District with a road trust deposit in the amount
of $41,500.00 for the construction of 8-feet of pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk abutting
the site for the future Machine Avenue.
5. Driveways
5.2 Pine Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: There are four existing driveways onto Pine Avenue from the site.
They are located at approximately 388-feet, 790-feet, 1,390-feet and 1,986 feet west of Eagle
Road (measured centerline-to-centerline). The driveway closest to Eagle Road (388-feet) is
median restricted to right-in/right-out only. The other three driveways are full-access
driveways.
b. Policy
Access Points Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with
development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section
and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is
being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated
and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops.
Access Policy: District policy 7205.4.6 states that direct access to minor arterials is typically
prohibited. If a property has frontage on more than one street, access shall be taken from the
street having the lesser functional classification. If it is necessary to take access to the higher
classified street due to a lack of frontage, the minimum allowable spacing shall be based on
Table 1a under District policy 7205.4.6, unless a waiver for the access point has been
approved by the District Commission.
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7205.4.5 requires driveways located on minor
arterial roadways from a signalized intersection with a single left turn lane shall be located a
minimum of 330-feet from the nearest intersection for aright-in/right-out only driveway and a
minimum of 660-feet from the intersection for afull-movement driveway.
6 Scentsy Commons/MPP-12-012
District policy 7205.4.5 requires driveways located on minor arterial roadways from a
signalized intersection with a dual left turn lane shall be located a minimum of 330-feet from
the nearest intersection for aright-in/right-out only driveway and a minimum of 710-feet from
the intersection for afull-movement driveway.
Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.6 Table 1a, requires driveways located on
minor arterial roadways with a speed limit of 35 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 330-feet
from any existing or proposed driveway.
Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7205.4.8 restricts high-volume driveways (100 VTD or
more) to a maximum width of 36-feet and low-volume driveways (less than 100 VTD) to a
maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for
high-volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii
will be required for low-volume driveways with less than 100 VTD.
Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance
problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy,
7205.4.8, 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 in
accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7205.4.8.
Cross Access Easements/Shared Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.1 states that cross
access utilizes a single vehicular connection that serves two or more adjoining lots or parcels
so that the driver does not need to re-enter the public street system.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to the four
driveways. These driveway locations were approved as part of ACHD's action on Pinebridge
Subdivision and were constructed as part of the widening of Pine Avenue abutting the site.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the applicant's
proposal to maintain the four driveways; as these locations were approved as part of
Pinebridge Subdivision and have been constructed as part of the Pine Avenue widening
project.
5.4 Machine Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: There is an existing driveway approach on Machine Avenue located 770-
feet (measured centerline-to-centerline) south of Pine Avenue abutting this site.
b. Policy:
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7207.4.1 requires driveways located near
intersections to be located a minimum of 75-feet (measured centerline-to-centerline) from the
nearest street intersection.
Successive Driveways: District Policy 7207.4.1 states that successive driveways away from
an intersection shall have no minimum spacing requirements for access points along a local
street, but the District does encourage shared access points where appropriate.
Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7207.4.3 states that where vertical curbs are required,
residential driveways shall be restricted to a maximum width of 20-feet and may be constructed
as curb-cut type driveways.
Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance
problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy,
7207.4.3, 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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is not proposing to use this driveway approach to access
the site.
7 Scentsy Commons/MPP-12-012
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The location of the existing driveway onto Machine
Street meet's District policy, and should be approved, as proposed. Staff recommends that in
the event the applicant chooses to use the driveway in the future that it be paved 30-feet into
the site beyond the edge of pavement.
6. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Policy prohibits all trees in
planters less than 8-feet in width without the installation of root barriers. Class II trees may be
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.
7. 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
District requirements prior to signature of the final plat and/or approval of the civil plans.
8. Other Access
Eagle Road is classified as a principal arterial roadway and Pine Avenue is classified as a minor
arterial roadway. Other than the access specifically approved with this application, direct lot
access is prohibited to these roadways and should be noted on the final plat.
D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval

2. Provide the District with a signed affidavit for any property along Commercial Court not controlled
or owned by the applicant stating that they do not require access to Hickory Street as a public
street prior to ACHD's signature on the final plat. If control of the properties cannot be obtained or
signed affidavits provided, redesign the plat to include the construction of Hickory Avenue, as a
public street.
3. Dedicate additional right-of-way from the west property line a minimum 2-feet behind future curb
on Machine Avenue abutting the site.
4. Provide a road trust deposit in the amount of $41,500.00 for the construction of 8-feet of

Ada County Utility Coordinating Council
Developer/Local Improvement District
Right of Way Improvements Guideline Request
Purpose: To develop the necessary avenue for proper notification to utilities of local highway
and road improvements, to help the utilities in budgeting and to clarify the already existing process.
1) Notification: Within five (5) working days upon notification of required right of way
improvements by Highway entities, developers shall provide written notification to the affected
utility owners and the Ada County Utility Coordinating Council (UCC). Notification shall include
but not be limited to, project limits, scope of roadway improvements/project, anticipated
construction dates, and any portions critical to the right of way improvements and coordination
of utilities.
2) Plan Review: The developer shall provide the highway entities and all utility owners with
preliminary project plans and schedule a plan review conference. Depending on the scale of
utility improvements, a plan review conference may not be necessary, as determined by the
utility owners. Conference notification shall also be sent to the UCC. During the review meeting
the developer shall notify utilities of the status of right of way/easement acquisition necessary
for their project. At the plan review conference each company shall have the right to appeal,
adjust and/or negotiate with the developer on its own behalf. Each utility shall provide the
developer with a letter of review indicating the costs and time required for relocation of its
facilities. Said letter of review is to be provided within thirty calendar days after the date of the
plan review conference.
3) Revisions: The developer is responsible to provide utilities with any revisions to preliminary
plans. Utilities may request an updated plan review meeting if revisions are made in the
preliminary plans which affect the utility relocation requirements. Utilities shall have thirty days
after receiving the revisions to review and comment thereon.
4) Final Notification: The developer will provide highway entities, utility owners and the UCC with
final notification of its intent to proceed with right of way improvements and include the
anticipated date work will commence. This notification shall indicate that the work to be
performed shall be pursuant to final approved plans by the highway entity. The developer shall
schedule a preconstruction meeting prior to right of way improvements. Utility relocation activity
shall be completed within the times established during the preconstruction meeting, unless
otherwise agreed upon.

Request for Appeal of Commission Action
Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action: A Commissioner, a member of ACRD
staff or any other person objecting to any final action taken by the Commission may request
reconsideration of that action, provided the request is not for a reconsideration of an action
previously requested to be reconsidered, an action whose provisions have been partly and
materially carried out, or an action that has created a contractual relationship with third parties.
a. Only a Commission member who voted with the prevailing side can move for
reconsideration, but the motion may be seconded by any Commissioner and is voted on
by all Commissioners present.
If a motion to reconsider is made and seconded it is subject to a motion to postpone to a
certain time.
b. The request must be in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the Highway District no
later than 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to the Commission's next scheduled regular
meeting following the meeting at which the action to be reconsidered was taken. Upon
receipt of the request, the Secretary shall cause the same to be placed on the agenda
for that next scheduled regular Commission meeting.
The request for reconsideration must be supported by written documentation setting
forth new facts and information not presented at the earlier meeting, or a changed
situation that has developed since the taking of the earlier vote, or information
establishing an error of fact or law in the earlier action. The request may also be
supported by oral testimony at the meeting.
d. If a motion to reconsider passes, the effect is the original matter is in the exact position it
occupied the moment before it was voted on originally. It will normally be returned to
ACHD staff for further review. The Commission may set the date of the meeting at
which the matter is to be returned. The Commission shall only take action on the
original matter at a meeting where the agenda notice so provides.
e. At the meeting where the original matter is again on the agenda for Commission action,
interested persons and ACHD staff may present such written and oral testimony as the
President of the Commission determines to be appropriate, and the Commission may
take any action the majority of the Commission deems advisable.
f. If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a reasonable fee, to
cover administrative costs, as established by the Commission.

RE: Land Use Change Application - Scentsy Commons Subdivision
Please note the District now requires three (3) sets of plans
Dear Mr. Kinkela:
Enclosed. please find a Land Use Change Application for your use to file with the Irrigation
District for its review on the above-referenced development. If this development is under a
"rush" to be finalized, I would recommend that you submit a cashier's check, money order or
cash as payment of the fees in order to speed the process up. If you submit a company or
personal check, it must clear the bank before processing the application.
Should this development be planning a pressure urban irrigation system that will be owned,
operated and maintained by the Irrigation District, I strongly urge you to coordinate with Greg G.
Curtis, Water Superintendent for the Irrigation District, concerning the installation of the
pressure system. Enclosed is a questionnaire that you must fill out and return in order to initiate
the process of contractual agreements between the owner or developer and the Irrigation
District for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the pressure urban irrigation system.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call on me at the District's
office, or Greg G. Curtis, at the District's shop.

Re: Scentsy Commons Preliminary Plat (PP 12-012)
Dear MS Hill:
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has reviewed the referenced preliminary plat
application for the Scentsy Commons Subdivision west of SH-55 (Eagle Road) and south of
Pine Avenue. ITD has the following review comments:
I. ITD has no objection to this application and requires no mitigation. The project does
not require a new access to the state highway system and does not generate any more
trips than the original concept plan.
2. The applicants should be aware of the long term plan to widen Eagle Road to six lanes.
The existing right-of--way width is sufficient for this widening, but the width is not
sufficient to retain the existing right turn lanes at the two existing accesses on SH-55
(Eagle Road).
If you have any questions, you may contact Matt Ward at 334-8341 or me at 334-8377.
Sincerely,
dd_
