Fairview Avenue Corridor Access Management: Fairview Avenue between Linder Road in Meridian and Orchard Street in Boise is a significant transportation corridor in the region with existing safety and operational needs that are expected to worsen over time. As a result, ACHD and the Cities of Meridian and Boise are developing the Fairview Avenue Corridor Access Management Plan to identify and evaluate strategies for maintaining safe and efficient access along Fairview Avenue. The current project phase focuses on the corridor by evaluating existing information, enhancing and updating technical information where needed, encouraging the public to participate, and synthesizing material into a cohesive, phased implementation plan. The plan 2 Touchstone Place/MPP-13-009/MCUP-13-003 will recommend strategies for roadway and intersection improvements to occur over the next 20 years. 2. Fairview Avenue a. Existing Conditions: Fairview Avenue is improved with 5-travel lanes, and no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 110-feet of right-of-way for Fairview Avenue (55-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 Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 state that the standard 7-lane street section shall be 96-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) within 120-feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates three travel lanes in each direction, a continuous raised or landscaped median with intermittent turn lanes, and safety shoulders. Street Section and Right-of-Way Width Policy: District Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 state that the standard 5-lane street section shall be 72-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) within 96-feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates two travel lanes in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike lanes on a minor arterial and a safety shoulder on a principal arterial. Right-of-Way Dedication: District Policy 7205.2 states that The District will provide compensation for additional right-of-way dedicated beyond the existing right-of-way along arterials listed as impact fee eligible in the adopted Capital Improvements Plan using available impact fee revenue in the Impact Fee Service Area. No compensation will be provided for right-of-way on an arterial that is not listed as impact fee eligible in the Capital Improvements Plan. The District may acquire additional right-of-way beyond the site-related needs to preserve a corridor for future capacity improvements, as provided in Section 7300. Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires a 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 3 Touchstone Place/MPP-13-009/MCUP-13-003 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 Fairview Avenue is designated in the MSM as a Mobility Arterial with 7-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 98-foot street section within 122-feet of right-of-way. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Fairview Avenue abutting the site. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District Policy. The applicant should be required to dedicate 60-feet of right-of-way from centerline of Fairview Avenue abutting the site. The applicant should be required to construct a 5-foot wide sidewalk, 53-feet from centerline of Fairview Avenue abutting the site; and provide a permanent right-of-way easement for any sidewalk located outside of the dedicated right-of-way. 3. Sandlin Avenue a. Existing Conditions: Sandlin Avenue is stubbed at the site's south property line as a 36-foot street section within 50-feet of right-of-way. 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 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. 4 Touchstone Place/MPP-13-009/MCUP-13-003 • 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 sloop/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. 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. 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. 5 Touchstone Place/MPP-13-009/MCUP-13-003 c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to extend Sandlin Avenue 45-feet north into the site then 124-feet west as a 29-foot street section with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide sidewalk on the north side of the street and 10-foot wide sidewalk on the south side of the street within 46-feet of right of way to the adjoining property. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Policy and should be approved, as proposed. 4. Roadway Offsets a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing roadway offsets onto Fairview Avenue from this development. b. Policy: Local Street Intersection Spacing on Principal 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 1,320-feet as measured from all other existing roadways as identified in Table 1 b (7205.4.7). 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 a 30-foot wide private road, Jericho Lane, to intersect Fairview Avenue approximately 1,364-feet west of Locust Grove, 375-feet west of Stonehenge Way, 110-feet west of the Pet Care Clinic driveway, and 122- feet east of the nearest residential driveway, onto Fairview Avenue from the site. The proposed private road is in alignment with Jericho Road directly to the north. The applicant is also proposing to construct a 30-foot wide private road, Wilson Lane, to intersect Wilson Street approximately 128-feet east of the west property line and 390-feet west of Penrith Place. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal for the location of Jericho Lane, does not meet District Policy, however, staff recommends approval to allow Jericho Lane to be located as proposed due to the fact that the proposed location of the private road was previously approved as a public street and is in direct alignment with Jericho Road directly north of the site. There is also a cross access agreement that was required as part of the Pet Care Clinic approval in February 2010, which allowed the Pet Care Clinic to continue to utilize their temporary driveway onto Fairview Avenue until such time that a shared access could be taken from this site, more specifically Jericho Lane. The applicant should be required to provide a maximum 40-foot wide and a minimum of 75-feet (measured centerline-to-centerline) from Fairview Avenue driveway access to the east abutting property, the Pet Care Clinic, as previously required. Staff recommends that a cross access easement be required with the 2 adjoining properties to the west of this development. The applicant should construct Wilson Lane as proposed. In accordance with District policy, 7205.4.8, the applicant should be required to pave the private roadways (driveways) a minimum of 20 to 24-feet wide and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of all public streets. 5.

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. • 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 a 124-feet long stub street west to the abutting property. Wilson Street is located approximately 678-feet south from Fairview Avenue (centerline to centerline). d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Policy and should be approved, 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." 6. Private Roads a. Private Road Policy: District policy 7212.1 states that the lead land use agencies in Ada County establish the requirements for private streets. The District retains authority and will review the proposed intersection of a private and public street for compliance with District intersection policies and standards. The private road should have the following requirements: • Designed to discourage through traffic between two public streets, • Graded to drain away from the public street intersection, and • If a private road is gated, the gate or keypad (if applicable) shall be located a minimum of 50-feet from the near edge of the intersection and a turnaround shall be provided. b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the internal roads, Jericho Lane, Touchstone Lane, Sandlin Lane, and Wilson Lane, as private roads. c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: If the City of Meridian approves the private roads, the applicant shall be required to pave the private roadways a minimum of 20 to 24-feet wide and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of all public streets and install pavement tapers with 15-foot curb radii abutting the existing roadway edge. If private roads are not approved by the City of Meridian, the applicant will be required to revise and resubmit the preliminary plat to provide public standard local streets in these locations. Street name and stop signs are required for the private roads. The signs may be ordered through the District. Verification of the correct, approved name of the road is required. ACHD does not make any assurances that the private roads, which area part of this application, will be accepted as public roads if such a request is made in the future. Substantial redesign and reconstruction costs may be necessary in order to qualify these roads for public ownership and maintenance. The following requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the roadways to ACHD: 7 Touchstone Place/MPP-13-009/MCUP-13-003 • Dedicate a minimum of 50-feet of right-of-way for the road. • Construct the roadway to the minimum ACHD requirements. • Construct a stub street to the surrounding parcels. 7. 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. 8. Landscaping Landscaping Policy: A license agreement is required for all landscaping proposed within ACHD right-of-way or easement areas. Trees shall be located no closer than 10-feet from all public storm drain facilities. Landscaping should be designed to eliminate site obstructions in the vision triangle at intersections. District Policy 5104.3.1 requires a 40-foot vision triangle and a 3-foot height restriction on all landscaping located at an uncontrolled intersection and a 50-foot offset from stop signs. Landscape plans are required with the submittal of civil plans and must meet all District requirements prior to signature of the final plat and/or approval of the civil plans. 9. Other Access Fairview Avenue is classified as a principal arterial roadway. Other than the access specifically approved with this application, direct lot access is prohibited to this roadway and should be noted on the final plat. D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval Dedicate 60-feet of right-of-way from centerline of Fairview Avenue abutting the site. The right-of- way purchase and sale agreement and deed must be completed and signed by the applicant prior to scheduling the final plat for signature by the ACHD Commission or prior to issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first.

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.
