C. Findings for Consideration
1. South Meridian Transportation Plan
The South Meridian Transportation Plan (SMTP) is a long range planning tool developed to
plan for future growth in the South Meridian Area by identifying future roadway, intersection,
and corridor needs. The SMTP provides a framework for future roadway improvements
based on the land use designations. The plan also investigates alternative transportation
solutions including pedestrian and bicycle pathways. The plan was created in collaboration
the City of Meridian and was adopted by the ACRD Commission in May of 2009.
2. Overland Road
a. Existing Conditions: Overland Road is improved with 5 travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter,
and 7 foot wide attached sidewalk abutting the site. There is 96 feet of right-of-way for
Overland Road (48 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.
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.
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: ACRD 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 Overland Road is designated in the
MSM as a Planned Commercial Arterial with 7 lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 96 foot street
section within 120 feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Overland Road
abutting the site.
Sagewood Subdivision
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations:
The applicant should be required to dedicate 60 feet of right-of-way from the centerline of
Overland Road abutting the site. As this section of Overland Road is listed in the Capital
Improvements Plan, the District will provide compensation for additional right-of-way
dedicated beyond the existing right-of-way.
The applicant should be required to correct deficiencies and replace deteriorated facilities on
Overland Road, including sidewalk, curb, gutter, driveways, pedestrian ramps, pavement
repairs, etc.
3. Sagewood Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: Sagewood Avenue is not currently constructed.
b. Policy:
Commercial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7208.2.1 states that the developer is
responsible for improving all commercial 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 7208.5 states that right-of-way
widths for new commercial streets shall typically be 50 and 70-feet wide and that the standard
street section will vary depending on the need for a center turn lane, bike lanes, volumes,
percentage of truck traffic, and/or on-street parking.
• A 36-foot street section (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) will typically accommodate two
travel lanes and on-street parking.
• A 40-foot street section (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) will typically accommodate two
travel lanes and a center turn lane.
• A 46-foot street section (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) will typically accommodate two
travel lanes and a center turn lane and bike lanes.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7208.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalks at least 5-feet wide to
be constructed on both sides of all commercial 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.
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 7208.5.15 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 ACRD.
• 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.
4 Sagewood Subdivision
• 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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct one commercial roadway,
Sagewood Avenue, with two 21 foot wide travel lanes, a 10 foot wide landscape median,
vertical curb, gutter, 5 foot wide attached concrete sidewalk, and 60 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 be required to provide permanent
right-of-way easements if public sidewalks are placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way.
The easements shall encompass the entire area between the right-of-way line and 2 feet
behind the back edge of the sidewalk.
4. Internal Local Streets
a. Existing Conditions: No internal local roads are constructed internal to 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.
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-
Sagewood Subdivision
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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct all internal local streets as 36
foot street sections with rolled curb, gutter, 8 foot landscape buffers, 5 foot wide detached
concrete sidewalk, and 50 feet of right-of-way.
The applicant is proposing to construct one knuckle.
d. Staff CommentslRecommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Policy and
should be approved as proposed.
The applicant should be required to provide permanent right-of-way easements for public
sidewalks placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way. The easements shall encompass the
entire area between the right-of-way line and 2 feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk.
5. Roadway Offsets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no roads constructed internal to the site.
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 ACRD, 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).
District policy 7208.4.2, requires commercial roadways intersecting other local streets
(residential, industrial or commercial) to provide a minimum offset of 125-feet from any other
roadway or intersection (measured centerline to centerline).
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct commercial roadway,
Sagewood Avenue, to intersect Overland Road approximately 410 feet west of Tech Lane.
The applicant is proposing all internal local streets to be constructed to provide a minimum
offset of 125 feet from any other street.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct Sagewood
Avenue to intersect Overland Road approximately 410 feet west of Tech Lane does not meet
District Policy, however as the property only has frontage on Overland Road and would fail to
meet District Policy regardless of its placement on the site, staff is recommending a
modification of policy.
The applicant's proposal to construct all internal local streets to be constructed to provide a
minimum offset of 125 feet meets District Policy and should be approved as proposed.
6. Stu b Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no streets constructed internal to the site.
b. Policy:
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7207.2.4 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, 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."
Sagewood Subdivision
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.
Temporary Dead End Streets Policy: District policy 7207.2.4 requires that the design and
construction for cul-de-sac streets shall apply to temporary dead end streets. The temporary
cul-de-sac shall be paved and shall be the dimensional requirements of a standard cul-de-sac.
The developer shall grant a temporary turnaround easement to the District for those portions
of the cul-de-sac which extend beyond the dedicated street right-of-way. In the instance
where a temporary easement extends onto a buildable lot, the entire lot shall be encumbered
by the easement and identified on the plat as anon-buildable lot until the street is extended.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct two stub streets, located
approximately 130 feet and 610 feet north of the southwest corner of the site, to provide
connectivity by stubbing to the parcel to the west, which is 5 acres in size.
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 each stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE
FUTURE."
A stub street is not required to be provided for the parcel to the south due to the fact that the
site is owned by Joint School District No. 2 and is designated to be a new middle school.
Therefore, a pedestrian pathway will be provided to the south, but no vehicular access should
be provided.
7. Driveways
7.1 Sagewood Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: Sagewood Avenue is not currently constructed.
b. Policy:
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7208.4.1 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 7208.4.1 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 7208.4.3 restricts commercial driveways to a maximum
width of 40-feet. Most commercial driveways will be constructed as curb-cut type facilities.
Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance
problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy,
7208.4.3, 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 to construct two 24 foot wide driveways,
located approximately 180 feet south of Overland Road. One driveway will be placed on each
side of Sagewood Avenue and directly align.
The applicant is also proposing two vehicular connections from the office lots (Block 1 & 2). One
24 foot wide drive is proposed to stub and provide cross access to the triangular lot, located
Sagewood Subdivision
west of the site, which is 1.46 acres in size. One 20 foot wide drive is proposed to provide cross
access to the parking lot to the east, which is on a 1.43 acre parcel.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Policy and
should be approved as proposed. The applicant should be required to pave each driveway its
entire width and at least 30 feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement.
8. 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.
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.
10. Other Access
Overland Road classified as principal arterials 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.

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.
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.
c. 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.

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.
