A. Findings of Fact
1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting approval to rezone approximately 32
acres from TN-C (Traditional Neighborhood Commercial) and C-N (Neighborhood Business) to
R-15 (Medium-high residential) and R-4 (Medium-low residential) to develop 48 single-family
lots, 1multi-family lot consisting of approximately 228 units, and 9 open lots. The site is located
on the southeast corner of Meridian Road and Victory Road, Meridian, Idaho.

3. Site History: ACHD staff/Commission previously reviewed this site as part of Cavanaugh
Subdivision/MRZ-07-014/MCUP-07-014/MPP-07-015 in October 2007, which consisted of 177
acres, 548 residential units, 13 commercial lots, 1 school site, and 1 Civic/Social Hall. The
requirements of this staff report are not consistent with those of the prior action as the portion of
the site being reconsidered under the current application was zoned and proposed to be utilized
with commercial type uses.
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):
• Victory Road is listed in the Capital Improvements Plan to be widened to 3-lanes from Meridian
Road to Locust Grove Road between 2017 and 2021.
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
1. Trip Generation (if TIS not required): This development is estimated to generate 1,973
additional vehicle trips per day (0 existing); 180 additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak
hour (0 existing), based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 9~'
edition.
A traffic study was completed with the prior application, however, a new traffic study was not
required as the intensity of use of the property has been reduced and the proposed use is less
intense than the commercial use previously proposed. ,

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 SH-69/Kuna-Meridian Road south of Victory Road
was 22,172 on 10/31 /2012.
The average daily traffic count for Victory Road east of SH-69/Kuna-Meridian Road was
6,374on 10/31/2012.
C. Findings for Consideration
1. Plans and Studies
The South Meridian Transportation Plan (SMTP) is a long range planning tool used to identify
future roadway, intersection, and corridor needs in the South Meridian Area. Providing a
framework for future roadway improvements based on the land use designations. The plan was
Red Wing/MRZ-13-002/MPP-13-003
created in collaboration with the City of Meridian and was adopted by the ACHD Commission in
September of 2009. The SMTP identifies Victory Road to be improved from 2-lanes to 3-lanes.
2. State Highway SH-69 /Kuna-Meridian Road
SH-69/Kuna-Meridian 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 SH-69/ Kuna-Meridian Road.
3. Victory Road
a. Existing Conditions: Victory Road is improved with 2-travel lanes, and no curb, gutter or
sidewalk abutting the site. Existing right-of-way varies between 86-feet to 72-feet for Victory
Road (varying from 40-feet to 25-feet from centerline).
b. Policy:
Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken
to all of the adjacent streets.
Master Street Map and Typology Policy: District Policy 7205.5 states that the design of
improvements for arterials shall be in accordance with District standards, including the Master
Street Map and Livable Streets Design Guide. The developer or engineer should contact the
District before starting any design.
Street Section and Right-of Way Width Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 states
that the standard 3-lane street section shall be 46-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) within 70
feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates a single travel lane in each direction,
a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike lanes.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires concrete sidewalks at least 5-feet wide to
be constructed on both sides of all arterial 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.
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.).
Frontage Improvements Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer shall
widen the pavement to a minimum of 17-feet from centerline plus a 3-foot wide gravel
shoulder adjacent to the entire site. Curb, gutter and additional pavement widening may be
required (See Section 7205.5.5).
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 Victory Road is designated in the
MSM as a Planned Commercial Arterial with 3-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 46-foot street
section within 70-feet of right-of--way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to enter into a development agreement
with the District to improve Victory Road to 3 lanes with curb, gutter, and 7-foot wide detached
concrete sidewalk from Meridian Road/SH-69 east to the sites east property line,
approximately 1,820-feet. As identified above, this roadway segment is scheduled in the
3 Red Wing/MRZ-13-002/MPP-13-003
District's Capital Improvement Plan to be widened and improved between 2017 and 2021.
The District is open to the possibility of entering into an agreement for the roadway
improvements, and has been working with the applicant on the details of that agreement. The
proposed improvements also include replacing the existing bridge over the Kennedy Lateral
across Victory Road with a 60" pipe.
To accommodate the planned improvements the applicant is proposing to dedicate 25-feet of
right-of--way from the east property line west approximately 1,120-feet, and approximately 40-
feet from SH-69/Kung-Meridian Road east approximately 700-feet on Victory Road abutting
the site. The applicant is proposing to construct a 7-foot wide detached sidewalk outside of the
right-of-way in an easement.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Policy, and
should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required to enter into a
Cooperative Development Agreement (CDA) with the District for the Victory Road
improvements prior to design of the. roadway and signature of the final plat. ACHD and the
applicant have already entered into a CDA for the replacement of the bridge over the Kennedy
Lateral with the 60" pipe. The new CDA will only address the road work on Victory Road.
During pre-application meetings staff requested a right turn lane analysis for the access point
onto Victory Road, proposed to be located approximately 660-feet east of Meridian Road/SH-
69 anticipated to serve the multi-family portion of the development. In speaking with the
applicant's engineer it was determined that aright-turn lane in this location was warranted. As
such, the applicant should be required to construct a dedicated right turn lane for the driveway
located approximately 660-feet east of Meridian Road/SH-69. The dedicated right turn lane
should constructed with an 11-foot wide lane and provide a 100-feet of storage. The applicant
should be required to coordinate the Design and Construction of the dedicated right turn lane
with District Development Review staff. Construction of the dedicated right turn lane may
require additional right-of-way dedication. ACRD will not reimburse the applicant for the
additional right-of-way or for the construction of the right turn lane. The right turn lane is a
project improvement needed to serve the site, not a system improvement.
The applicant should provide a permanent right-of-way easement for any sidewalks placed
outside of the dedicated right-of--way.
4. Internal Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing public roadways within the site.
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.
4 Red Wing/MRZ-13-002/MPP-13-003
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.
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.).
Landscape Medians Policy: District policy 7207.5.16 states that landscape medians are
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 ACHD.
• 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 fora license agreement if
landscaping is to be placed within these medians.
• 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.
• Vertical curbs are required around the perimeter of any raised median. Gutters shall slope
away from the curb to prevent ponding.
5 Red Wing/MRZ-13-002/MPP-13-003
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct Andros Way, the entry road
into the development as a 52-foot wide street section with 2 21-foot travel lanes, curb, gutter,
5-foot detached concrete sidewalk, and a 10-foot wide landscape median.
The applicant is proposing to construct all of the other internal local streets (Red Tail Street,
Blackspur Way, Silver Wing Drive, Andros Way, Black Hawk Drive, and White Tail Way) as
33-foot street sections, curb, gutter and 5-foot wide attached concrete sidewalks within 50-feet
of right-of-way.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy, and
should be approved, as proposed. The applicant should provide written fire department
approval for the 33-foot street section.
The applicant should be required to plat the center landscape median as right-of-way to be
owned by ACHD. The Developer or Homeowners Association should apply for a license
agreement if landscaping is to be placed within this median.
The applicant should provide a permanent right-of--way easement for any portion of the
sidewalk located outside of the right-of--way.
5. Roadway Offsets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing roadway offsets internal to the development.
b. Policy:
Local Street Intersection Spacing on Minor Arterials: District policy 7205.4.3 states that
new local streets should not typically intersect arterials. Local streets should typically intersect
collectors. If it is necessary, as determined by ACHD, for a local street to intersect an arterial,
the minimum allowable offset shall be 660-feet as measured from all other existing roadways
as identified in Table 1 a (7205.4.6).
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a new local roadway, Andros
Way to intersect Victory Road approximately 1,400-feet (centerline to centerline) east of SH-
69/Kuna-Meridian Road, 560-feet west of the nearest local street, Standing Timber Avenue,
and 670-feet east of 2 aligned driveways abutting Victory Road.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District
Policy, as it only offsets Standing Timber Avenue by 560-feet. However, staff recommends a
modification of policy to allow the construction of Andros Way 560-feet west of Standing
Timber Avenue as proposed, as there is not enough frontage on Victory Road to meet all the
required offset requirements and access is limited to Victory Road and SH-69/Kuna-Meridian
Road which abut the property.
6. Stub Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing stub streets abutting the site.
b. Policy:
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7207.2.4 (local) 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 (local), 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.
6 Red Wing/MRZ-13-002/MPP-13-003
The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will
remain free of obstructions.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct one stub to the east, Black
Hawk Drive, located approximately 580-feet north of Victory Road (measured centerline to
centerline).
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy. Staff
recommends approval of the applicant's proposal, as proposed.
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. Driveways
7.2 Victory Road
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing driveways onto Victory Road from this site.
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 1 a 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.
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 45 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 380-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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct on a 52-foot wide divided
driveway on to Victory Road located approximately 660-feet east of SH-69/Kuna-Meridian
7 Red Wing/MRZ-13-002/MPP-13-003
Road with 2 21-foot travel lanes and a 10-foot wide landscape island. This driveway is
proposed to align centerline to centerline with an existing driveway on the north side of Victory
Road across from the site.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Driveway
Location policy and the intent of the Successive Driveway policy, by aligning with an existing
driveway on the north side of Victory Road across from the site. As such, staff recommends
approval of the applicant's proposal. Additionally, a driveway in this location was previously
approved, as part of ACHD's 2007 action on Cavanaugh Subdivision. .
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.
7.4 Blackspur Way
a. Existing Conditions: Blackspur Way does not exist within the 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 proposing a 30-foot wide driveway onto Blackspur Way
located approximately 125-feet (measured centerline to centerline) from the Red Tail
Street/Blackspur Way intersection and approximately 155-feet (measured centerline to
centerline) from the Black Hawk Drive and Blackspur Way intersection.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy, and
should be approved as proposed. 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.
8. Tree Planters

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.
9. 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 Red Wing/MRZ-13-002/MPP-13-003

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
pertormed 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 Reconsideration of Commission Action
Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action: A Commissioner, a member of ACHD
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

Re: RZ 13-002 and PP 13-003 Red Wing
The Idaho Transportation Department has reviewed the referenced rezone and preliminary plat
for the Red Wing project site on Victory Road near SH-69 (Meridian Road). ITD has the
following comments:
1) ITD has no objection to a local jurisdiction's changes to a land use plan. The proposed
change to the comprehensive plan requires no ITD-related mitigation.
2) ITD has an access management plan for SH-69 (Meridian Road). The plan does not
include any access to SH-69 between Victory Road and Harris Street. The applicant's site
does not appear to affect ITD's access management plans.
3) The proposed change in land use is a net reduction in site-generated trip volume that has an
important impact on the regional roadway system. The conversion from employment /
commercial center to residential development separates homes from employment
opportunities and increases the average journey-to-work and home-to-shopping trip
distance. Although this project is relatively small, the cumulative impact of such
rezone/comprehensive plan changes will certainly increase regional travel demand and
necessitate additional investment in the transportation system. These incremental changes
to the development plans incur a regional cost to expand the roadway network. This site's
location on the regional highway system could have provided some benefit in improving
accessibility and reducing both travel distance and the number of trips.
If you have any questions, you may contact Matt Ward at 334-8341 or me at 334-8377.
Sincerely,
a~~
