C. Findings for Consideration
1. Internal 29-foot Local Streets (Sugar Tree & Moon Drummer)
a. Existing Conditions: The site has no internal streets.
b. Policy:
Reduced Urban Local Street-29-foot Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District
Policy 7207.5.2 states that the width of a reduced urban local street shall be 29 feet (back-of-
curb to back-of-curb) with curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot concrete sidewalks on both sides
and shall typically be within 42 feet of right-of--way. Although some parking is allowed by the
following subsections, the District will further restrict parking on a reduced width street if
curves or other physical features cause problems, if actual emergency response experience
indicates that emergency vehicles may not be able to provide service, or if other safety
concerns arise.
Design Condition #1: Parking is allowed on one side of a reduced width street when all of
the following criteria are met:
• The street is in a residential area.
• The developer shall provide written approval from the appropriate fire department or
emergency response unit in the jurisdiction.
• The developer shall install "NO PARKING" signs on one side of the street, as specified
2 Heron Ridge Estates
by the District and as specified by the appropriate fire department.
• Vertical curbs with attached 5-foot (minimum) wide sidewalks, or rolled curbs with 5-foot
(minimum) wide detached sidewalks and 8-foot (minimum) wide planter strips, are
required.
• Traffic volumes on the street shall not exceed 1,000 vehicle trips per day. There shall be
no possibility that another street may be connected to it in a manner that would allow
more than 1,000 vehicle trips per day.
Design Condition #2: Parking is allowed on both sides of a reduced width street when the
street layout has the qualities of a road grid system and when all the following criteria are met:
• The street is in a residential area.
• The developer shall provide written approval from the appropriate fire department or
emergency response unit in the jurisdiction.
• The block length of the street shall not exceed 500 feet, measured between centerlines.
• Traffic volumes on the street are not forecast to exceed 400 vehicle trips per day.
• A minimum of two street connections shall be provided to each end of the street with the
reduced width. The two connecting streets shall each connect to the larger street
system to provide the intended alternate routes of access. A street system that has one
street connection to the large street network on one end and aloop/circle street on the
other end with no outlet shall not be approved.
• Vertical curbs with attached 5-foot (minimum) wide sidewalks, or rolled curbs with 5-foot
(minimum) wide detached sidewalks and 8-foot (minimum) wide planter strips, are
required.
Design Condition #3: Parking is allowed on both sides of a reduced width residential street
with passing pockets that are created when two driveways are constructed near the same
property line, where a 50-foot segment will not have on-street parking on the side of the street
with the driveways, and when all the following criteria are met:
• The street is in a residential area.
• The developer shall provide written approval from the appropriate fire department or
emergency response unit in the jurisdiction.
• Driveway locations are predetermined with curb cuts for the driveways to be installed
when the street is constructed. The curb cuts shall be 20 feet wide. Each lot on the
street will be "paired" with an adjacent lot. If there are on odd number of lots, one lot at
either end of the street will not be "paired." Each pair of lots shall locate its driveway 5
feet from the shared lot line of the pair.
• Vertical curbs with attached 5-foot (minimum) wide sidewalks, or rolled curbs with 5-foot
(minimum) wide detached sidewalks and 8-foot (minimum) wide planter strips, are
required.
• The lots cannot abut an alley.
• Traffic volumes on the street are not forecast to exceed 400 vehicle trips per day.
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.
3 Heron Ridge Estates
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7207.5.7 states that afive-foot wide concrete sidewalk is
required on both sides of all local streets, 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.).
Cul-de-sac Streets Policy: District Policy 7207.5.8 requires cul-de-sacs to be constructed to
provide a minimum turning radius of 45 feet; in rural areas or for temporary cul-de-sacs the
emergency service providers may require a greater radius. Landscape and parking islands
may be constructed in turnarounds if a minimum 29-foot street section is constructed around
the island. The pavement width shall be sufficient to allow the turning around of a standard
AASHTO SU design vehicle without backing. The developer shall provide written approval
from the appropriate fire department for this design element.
The District will consider alternatives to the standard cul-de-sac turnaround on a case-by-case
basis. This will be based on turning area, drainage, maintenance considerations and the
written approval of the agency providing emergency fire service for the area where the
development is located.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the internal local streets (Sugar
Tree and Moon Drummer) as 29-foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter, 8-foot wide
planter strips, and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalks within 42 feet of right-of--way.
Both Sugar Tree Court and Moon Drummer Way are extensions of existing stub streets.
The applicant is proposing to construct 2 cul-de-sacs and 1 knuckle within the development all
with a turning radius of 50 feet.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Local Streets
and Continuation of Streets Policy, and should be approved as proposed. The applicant
should be required to provide written fire department approval for use of the reduced 29-foot
street section prior to plan approval.
The applicant should provide the District with a permanent right-of-way easement for the
sidewalks located outside of the right-of-way.
The applicant should be required to install no parking signs along one side of Sugar Tree
Court and Moon Drummer Way/Court.
The applicant's proposal meets District Cul-de-sac Streets Policy and should be approved, as
proposed. The applicant should be required to provide a minimum turning radius of 50 feet,
as proposed.

2. Stub Street to Phyllis Canal (Jayker Way)
Existing Conditions:
Jayker Way is in process of being constructed to abut the south property line in conjunction with
the final platting of Spurwing Groves #5. Jayker Way is to be constructed as a 36-foot residential
collector with 2-travel lanes, vertical curb and gutter, with a 10-foot wide detached sidewalk on the
east side of the roadway within 40 feet of right-of--way.
Property to the North
There are approximately 120-acres of undeveloped property directly to the north of the site, below
the rim. The properties below the rim have limited opportunities for access due to the topography
of the rim and the Boise River. Due to the topography constraints in this area, it will be critical to
provide adequate connectivity opportunities to the undeveloped properties abutting this site.
Location of Stub Street
In past review of the area, as part of Jayker Subdivision in 2007, it was determined that one of the
only logical locations, based on topographical constraints, for Jayker Way to extend below the rim
is near the current location of Basco Lane, through the center of the site. The applicant's engineer
worked with District staff to determine how a roadway, meeting ACHD standards, could be
constructed through the site. It was determined that a local roadway could be constructed through
the gulch separating the two properties (see Exhibit "A" below) to meet ACHD grade and curve
requirements. However, after discussions and analysis of how much undeveloped property
existed below the rim, District staff determined that a residential collector roadway would be
necessary to serve the properties below the rim. The engineer then drafted a preferred alignment
in which a residential collector roadway could be constructed to meet ACHD's curve and grade
requirements. The preferred alignment places segments of the roadway outside of the gulch area
and onto the site.
Exhibit "A"
5 Heron Ridge Estates
Prior Agreements: The developer abutting the site to the south was required as part of Spurwing
Greens Preliminary Plat application to provide the District with a road trust for 69% of the total cost
of constructing a 36-foot residential collector roadway (Jayker Way) through the site to the Phyllis
Canal. The remaining 31 % was to be the responsibility of the applicant. The dollar amount was to
be based on these percentages and the District's estimated roadway costs at the time of
construction.
Bridge Crossing of the Phyllis Canal
The Phyllis Canal is along the northern property line of this site. The applicant has not
proposed to construct a bridge across the canal at the terminus of Jayker Way nor provide a
contribution for a portion of the cost of the bridge. District staff agrees with the applicant in not
requiring a bridge or contribution toward the cost of a bridge for the following reasons:
• The canal is not on the applicant's parcel.
• This site has adequate access with the new roads being constructed within the adjoining
developments and the new signalized intersection on US 20-26 (Chinden Boulevard
• This site does not require the additional access point that the bridge would provide.
• The property on the north side of the Phyllis Canal will need the bridge in order to
provide adequate access for any development; and that property owner should bear the
burden for the cost of the bridge crossing of the Phyllis Canal.
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to extend Jayker Way from the site's south
property line, north thru the site stubbing at the Phyllis Canal. The applicant is proposing to
construct Jayker Way as a 36-foot residential collector roadway with vertical curb, gutter, and a 10-
foot wide attached concrete sidewalk on the easterly side of the roadway within 40 feet of right-of-
way, to match the proposed improvements to the south, of Spurwing Groves #5.
Staff Comment/Recommendation: The applicant's proposal does not meet District Sidewalk
Policy; however, staff is recommending a modification of policy to approve the applicant's request
to construct a 10-foot wide sidewalk on one side of the roadway. This will match the existing
conditions on Jayker Way that were approved and constructed as part of Spurwing Greens
Subdivision. The right-of--way should extend 2-feet beyond back edge of curb on either side of the
roadway and the applicant should provide a permanent right-of--way easement for the 10-foot wide
sidewalk.
The applicant's proposal does not meet District Temporary Dead-End Policy, which requires the
construction of a paved cul-de-sac at the terminus of a temporary dead-end street; however, staff
is recommending a waiver of this policy. This is due to site constraints and elevation changes
within the gulch area. With the change in elevation and topography it would be unfeasible to
construct a turnaround. In staff's discussions with the Meridian Fire Department they have
indicated that they are in agreement with this waiver of policy. The applicant should work with
District Development Review staff and the Meridian Fire Department regarding signage along
Jayker Way so as to indicate to the traveling public that it is a dead end street without a
turnaround.
The construction of Jayker Way should be required at time of the first final plat. This will require
the owners of the land within the gulch to dedicate the right-of-way necessary for the roadway as
the applicant does not own the land within the gulch. For the District to accept the right-of--way
dedication, the property owners will need to provide the road trust deposit as required of the
development to the south. Once the roadway is constructed and accepted, the District will
reimburse the applicant the amount of said road trust, which will be 69% of the total cost of
constructing the roadway, as referenced earlier.
The construction of Jayker Way is reliant on the completion of Spurwing Groves #5, abutting the
site to the south. Jayker Way currently terminates approximately 800 feet south of the site, at
Magic Spruce Drive. That 800-foot segment of Jayker Way is required to be constructed as part of
Spurwing Groves #5. Until that roadway has been constructed, the site will not have frontage onto
6 Heron Ridge Estates
Jayker Way. The applicant should be required to construct their segment of Jayker Way to
connect with the existing Jayker Way at time of their first final plat, whether that is at their south
property line or at the current terminus of Jayker Way at Magic Spruce Drive.
3. Roadway Offsets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing roadway offsets internal to the development.
b. Policy:
Local Offset Policy: District Policy 7207.4.2, requires local roadways to align or provide a
minimum offset of 125 feet from any other street (measured centerline to centerline).
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Sugar Tree Court and Moon
Drummer Way in alignment with existing roadways.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Roadway
Offsets Policy and should be approved, as proposed.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Other Access
Jayker Way is classified as a collector roadway. Direct lot access is prohibited to this roadway and
should be noted on the final plat.
D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval

extend 2 feet beyond back of curb on either side of the roadway. Coordinate the dedication of the
necessary right-of-way with the owners of the land within the gulch. Prior to accepting the right-
7 Heron Ridge Estates
of-way dedication the road trust deposit as required of the development to the south must be
provided to the District. Once the roadway is constructed and accepted, the District will reimburse
the applicant the amount of said road trust, which will be 69% of the total cost of constructing the
roadway, as referenced earlier.

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 ACRD 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.
If a motion to reconsider passes, the applicant may be charged a
reasonable fee, to cover administrative costs, as established by the
Commission.
