4. Adjacent Development: The following developments are pending or underway in the vicinity of
the site:
• Biltmore Estates, a 159-lot residential subdivision is south of the site and in the initial stages of
the development review process.
5. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site.
6. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0.53 centerline miles of new
public road.
7. 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.
8. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/ Integrated Five Year Work Plan (tFYWP):
• Victory Road is scheduled in the Five Year Work Plan to be reclaimed between McDermott
Road and Meridian Road in 2016.
• Victory Road and Bridge #292, 500-feet west of Ten Mile Road is scheduled in the Five Year
Work Plan to be replaced/widened/built in 2016.
• Victory Road and Bridge #296, '/4 mile east of Locust Grove Road is scheduled in the Five
Year Work Plan to be replaced/widened/built in 2018.
• Victory Road is listed in the Capital Improvements Plan to be widened to 3-lanes from Linder
Road to Meridian Road between 2022 and 2026.
• The intersection of Victory Road and Linder Road is listed in the Capital Improvements Plan
to be widened to 6-lanes on the north leg, 5-lanes on the south, 4-lanes east, and 3-lanes on
the west leg, and signalized between 2017 and 2021.
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 609 additional vehicle trips per day
(10 existing); 64 additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour (1 existing), based on the
Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 9th edition.
2. Traffic Impact Study
Thompson Engineers prepared an abbreviated traffic impact study for the proposed Revolution
Ridge Development. The abbreviated study addressed the need for turn lanes, and trip
generation and distribution. Below is an executive summary of the findings, as presented by
Thompson Engineering. The following executive summary is not the opinion of ACHD staff.
ACHD has reviewed the submitted traffic impact study for consistency with ACRD policies and
practices, and may have additional requirements beyond what is noted in the summary. ACHD
Staff comments on the submitted traffic impact study can be found below under staff comments.
Based on the submitted traffic study by Thompson Engineers, Inc., the critical traffic period
occurs during the PM peak hour. It is estimated that 90% of the traffic entering the site will
approach from the east and will make the left turn from Victory Road on to Kentucky Way. Using
these figures, at the intersection, the westbound volume on Victory Road will be 292 vehicles per
hour, with 70 turning left. This is approximately 24% of the advancing traffic. The eastbound
traffic will be 128 vehicles per hour. The existing subdivision and the proposed subdivision are
included in the analysis. Based on this analysis, a left turn lane is not warranted for westbound
Victory Road at S. Kentucky Way.
Staff Comments/Recommendations: ACHD District Traffic Services and Planning Review staff
has completed a review of the required abbreviated traffic impact study and has found it to be in
compliance with ACHD Policy and standards.

C. Findinas for Consideration
1. South Meridian Transportation Plan
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
created in collaboration with the City of Meridian and was adopted by the ACHD Commission in
September of 2009. The SMTP recommends preserving this segment of Victory Road as a S-
lane arterial road.
2. Victory Road
a. Existing Conditions: Victory Road is improved with 2-travel lanes, 24-feet of pavement, and
no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 62-feet of right-of-way for Victory Road
(30-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.
3DRAFT Revolution Ridge/MAZ-14-002/MPP-13-040
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.
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.
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 Residential Arterial with 3-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 49-foot street section
within 74-feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a 5-foot wide meandering
concrete sidewalk located approximately 36-feet from centerline along Victory Road abutting
the site.
Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District
Master Street Map policy for right-of--way dedication. However, the applicant is meeting the
intent of the MSM by constructing the 5-foot wide sidewalk 36-feet from centerline of Victory
Road abutting the site. The applicant should be required to provide permanent right-of-way
easements for the sidewalk 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.
3. Kentucky Way "
a. Existing Conditions: Kentucky Way is improved with 2-travel lanes, 28-feet of pavement with
3-foot shoulders, and no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 60-feet of right-of-
way for Kentucky Way (30-feet from centerline). This street section was approved by ACHD
with the original development.
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.
Development Requirements Policy: District policy 7206.2.2 states improvements to an
adjacent collector street shall consist of pavement widening to one-half the required width,
including vertical curb, gutter and concrete sidewalk (minimum 7-foot attached or 5-foot
detached).
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.
4DRAFT Revolution Ridge/MAZ-14-002/MPP-13-040
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.
Residential Collector Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard street section
for a collector in a residential area shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The District
will consider a 33-foot or 29-foot street section with written fire department approval and
taking into consideration the needs of the adjacent land use, the projected volumes, the need
for bicycle lanes, and on-street parking.
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.
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.
ACHD Master Street Map: ACRD 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. This segment of Kentucky Way is designated in the
MSM as a Residential Collector with 2-lanes and on-street bike lanes and parking on both
sides, a 47-foot street section within 69-feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a 5-foot wide parallel concrete
sidewalk located approximately 38-feet from centerline along Kentucky Way abutting the site.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District
Development Requirements policy because the applicant is not proposing to construct curb
and gutter or widen the pavement. Staff is recommending a waiver of policy to not require
curb, gutter of pavement widening due to the fact that constructing curb and gutter does not
improve the condition and functional operation of Kentucky Way and the applicant is
proposing to construct a 5-foot wide sidewalk for pedestrians on Kentucky Way. Additional
pavement width for parking is not necessary or recommended along this segment of the
roadway. The existing road section with the addition of the sidewalk meets the intent of the
policy and the MSM.
5DRAFT Revolution Ridge/MAZ-14-002/MPP-13-040
The applicant should be required to provide permanent right-of-way easements for public
sidewalk 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.
The applicant should be required to install "NO PARKING" signs along Kentucky Way if not
already signed.
4. Blue Downs Street
a. Existing Conditions: Blue Downs Street is constructed as a stub street to the site with a 36-
foot street section within 50-feet of right-of-way

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.

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
6DRAFT Revolution Ridge/MAZ-14-002/MPP-13-040
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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to continue and construct Blue Downs
Street as a 34-foot street section with curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk within
48-feet of right-of-way. Blue Downs Street terminates where it intersects with Redup Street.
The applicant is proposing to restrict parking to one side of the street.
The applicant is proposing to extend Redup Street, located approximately 150-feet east of the
west property line, as a 34-foot street section with rolled curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide sidewalk
within 48-feet of right-of--way to the south property line.
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 for public
sidewalk 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.
The applicant should provide written approval from the appropriate fire department for the
reduced street sections prior to final plat.
The applicant should be required to install "NO PARKING" signs on one side of the street in
accordance with District policy and Fire Department specifications.
5. Internal Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no roads internal to the site.
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.

7DRAFT Revolution Ridge/MAZ-14-002/MPP-13-040
(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.
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.
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.).
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct the internal streets as 29-foot
street sections with rolled curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide concrete attached sidewalks within 42-
feet of right-of-way. The applicant is proposing to restrict parking to one side of the street
The applicant is proposing 3 cul-de-sacs at the terminus of Riodosa Street, Riot Street and
Rebellion Street.
The applicant is proposing the continuation of Blue Downs Street and Riodosa Street into the
site from Kentucky Ridge Estates.
The applicant is proposing to extend Rebellion Street as a stub street to the west as a 29-foot
street section within 42-feet of right-of-way.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant should construct Rebellion Street, as a
34-foot street section (back of curb to back of curb) with rolled curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide
sidewalk within 48-feet of right-of-way, as it is a stub street.
8DRAFT Revolution Ridge/MAZ-14-002/MPP-13-040
The applicant should be required be required to construct Revolution, Riot, Riodosa, and
Revolt Streets as 29-foot street sections (back of curb to back of curb) with rolled curb, gutter,
and 5-foot wide sidewalk within 42-feet of right-of--way.
The applicant should be required to provide a permanent right-of-way easement for any public
sidewalks 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.
The applicant should be required to construct the cul-de-sacs to provide a minimum turning
radius of 45-feet.
The applicant should be required to provide written approval from the appropriate fire
department for the reduced street sections prior to final plat.
The applicant should be required to install "NO PARKING" signs on one side of the street in
accordance with District policy and Fire Department specifications.
6. Stub Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are two existing stub streets to this site: Riodosa Street and
Blue Downs Street.
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.
• 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 (local) 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 2 stub streets, both less than
150-feet in length, as follows:
• Rebellion Street is proposed to stub to the west, between Block 1 Lots 1 & 2 and
Block 2 Lot 1 to connect to a 5-acre parcel to the west. Rebellion Street is located
approximately 200-feet south of Victory Road (centerline to centerline).
Redup Street is proposed to stub to the south, between Block 2 Lots 30 & 31 and
Block 3 Lot 1 to connect to a 56.2-acre parcel to the south, which is currently
proposed and being reviewed as part of Biltmore Estates Subdivision. Redup Street
is located approximately 150-feet east of the west property line.
9DRAFT Revolution Ridge/MAZ-14-002/MPP-13-040
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy, and
should be approved, as proposed.
Staff is in receipt of written communication from the property owner directly west of the site
(Attachment 3). The property owner has requested that the applicant extend Riot Street west
to his east property line in lieu of extending Rebellion Street west to his northeast property
line. Rebellion Street is located 200-feet south of Victory Road and Riot Street is located
approximately 500-feet south of Victory Road (measured centerline to centerline). Riot Street
is not proposed to be extended to the west property line.
The applicant's proposal for stub streets and the layout of the subdivision meets all ACHD
policies. The proposal from the adjacent property owner also meets all ACHD policies. However,
staff has no basis to recommend relocating the stub street south to extend Riot Street.
7. Driveways
7.1 Victory Road
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing driveways onto Victory Road from the 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

the intersection for afull-movement driveway.
Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.6 Table 1 a, 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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a 30-foot wide driveway 250-
feet west of Kentucky Way and 240-feet east of an existing residential driveway onto Victory
Road to provide for emergency access. The driveway will be paved 21-feet in width it entire
length from Victory Road to Rebellion Street.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District
Access Management, Successive Driveway, Driveway Location, as the proposed location
does not meet District minimum spacing requirements. However, staff recommends a
modification of policy to allow the driveway to be located as proposed due to the fact that it is
for emergency access only.
The applicant should coordinate with ACRD and the Meridian Fire Depart on the design and
restricting the driveway for emergency purposes only.
8. Neighborhood Concerns
Neighbors in the Kentucky Ridge Estates development have expressed concerns regarding the
increased traffic on Kentucky Way, lack of sidewalk on both sides of Kentucky Way, no separate
entrance for the development, and the Kentucky Ridge Estates monument sign.
ACHD staff conducted a speed investigation. The investigation looked at the average speed of
vehicles on Victory Road west of Meridian Road/SH-69. The investigation found that the average
speed on Victory Road is 42 MPH. The posted speed limit on Victory Road is 35 MPH. ACHD
does not provide traffic calming on arterial roadways. ACHD traffic personnel will work with the
Meridian Police Department regarding enforcement and whether any potential change to the
speed limit is warranted.
ACHD staff also obtained crash information for the last 6 years in the area of influence at the
intersection of Victory Road and Meridian Road, which has had a total of 20 crashes: 6 being
injury accidents; and 14 being property damage accidents. Since 1997, there have been 2
11 DRAFT Revolution Ridge/MAZ-14-002/MPP-13-040
crashes at the Victory Road/Kentucky Way intersection: 1 was a failure to yield (2006 left turn into
Kentucky Way); 1 was ice related, speed too fast for conditions (2010 single vehicle swerved to
miss pedestrian on a pedal cycle {1:30 p.m.}),
ACHD obtained updated traffic counts on 2/3/2014 for the average daily traffic (ADT) count for
Victory Road west of Meridian Road. The ADT was 2,610 with 183 VPH in the PM Peak hour.
The acceptable level of service fora 2-lane minor arterial is 550 VPH in the PM Peak hour. The
proposed development will add 609 ADT to total an estimated 3,219 ADT with an additional 64
VPH in the PM Peak hour to total an estimated 247 VPH in the PM Peak hour; well within the
recommended "D" level of service.
The average daily traffic (ADT) count for Kentucky Way south of Victory Road on 2/3/2014 was
465 with 48 VPH in the PM Peak hour. The acceptable level of service fora 2-lane collector is
425 VPH in the PM Peak hour. The proposed development will add 609 ADT to total an
estimated 1,074 with an additional 64 VPH in the PM Peak hour to total an estimated 117 VPH in
the PM Peak hour; well within the recommended "D" level of service
Roadway Current PM Peak Development Total Development Total PM
ADT Hour ADT ADT PM Peak Hour Peak Hour
Victory Road 2,610 183 609 3,219 64 247
Kentucky Way 465 48 609 1,074 64 117
The residents expressed concern about Kentucky Way not having sidewalk along their pocket
park that faces onto Kentucky Way and the remaining section of Kentucky Way north to Victory
Road as neither side has sidewalk. The residents also requested that the developer construct a
public street to intersect Kentucky Way north of the park to reduce traffic impacts within Kentucky
Ridge Estates.
As part of this application, the applicant will be required to improve Kentucky Way with 5-foot wide
detached sidewalk abutting the site. As the park is in the Kentucky Ridge Estates development
and not on property controlled by the developer, the developer is not being required to improve
Kentucky Way abutting the park.
The applicant has not proposed to construct a new street onto Kentucky Way, a collector street,
from the site and has proposed to take access by connecting to the existing stub streets, which
4-002/MPP-13-040
meets District policy and provides connectivity through the developments.
Another concern addressed by the residents in Kentucky Ridge Estates is the fact that the
monument sign to that development is currently located on the northeast corner of the proposed
Revolution Ridge development. Staff recommends the developer coordinate with the Kentucky
Ridge Estates HOA regarding moving the monument to a more appropriate location for that
development.
9. 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.
10. 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.

ACHO PLAI~iNEDiD~1+.~iU':'ti
This letter is regarding the proposed devdopment of dte Revolution Ridge Subdivision
My wife and I have owned property and lived in the immediate arcs for over 31 years. First for
about 11 years at 900 W Victory Rd. and then moving to our caecrent address 1155 W Victory Rd for the
next 23 years.
We have met several. times with the devek-pa Jim Conger about incorporating our acreage into
the proposed new development, and have studied the preliminary plans. Currently, the plans have mad
access to mY property for future development at our northeast carer, and for fixture wnaection to W
Vicxary Rd. For the purposes of developing our land as well, this proposed connection would not suit our
inter, and I believe even create traffic flow issues.
I am concerned that We several school busses that comp and go many times a day would cxeate
excessive traffic issues with the cuurent proposed development plans. I am also of the opinion that the
projected temporary access lane for earergencies is too close to the bus stops and woWd cause bottle neck
situations, especially when construction starts and many large trucks and constnuction workers' vohicles
are present. As it is currently, Kartucky Way has many automobiles packed at the subdivision's entrance
to pick up or drop off their children to avoid the cold, as weIl as the walk down a long, narrow road that
they would otherwise need to walk down, without sidewalks, to reach their pick up hxaation. Upon
carrpletion of the current plans, there would be less than 200 foot from the emergency lane, to Kentucky
Way's aNranee.
A batter solution, both for deveMpment purposes, as well as firdne traffic would be to have the
connection to our property from rho new subdivision to be locatod at or about S00 feet south of properly
pins on W. Victory Rd. This would facilitate a future ooanectian to W Victory Read directly across from
the current Cobble Way, creating a cross intersection. This Change would also extend the distance for
entrance for emergatcy purposes fiom less than 200 feet to close to b00 feat. I have included at rough
visual reference demonstrating the proposed changes 1 am patting forth.
1 have mentioned my proposed changes for this plea ro an associate of the possible developer and
current owner of the property directly west of me, and ho behoved that dre adjustments would benefit the
future development of that property as well.
Without connections through my propcriy, the subdivision would be operating through one
entrance at Kentucky Way. Having only one enhance to what will be around 100 homes seems
inadcquatc.
