6. 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.
Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP):
• Franklin Road is listed in the CIP and IFYWP to be widened to 5-lanes from Black Cat to Ten
Mile in 2016.
The intersection of Black Cat and Franklin Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 7-lanes on
the north leg, 7-lanes on the south, 7-lanes east, and 7-lanes on the west leg, and signalized
between 2015 and 2016. The intersection is listed in the IFYWP to be reconstructed in 2016.
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 15,586 additional vehicle trips per
day; 1,354 additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour based on the Institute of
Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 9th edition. ACRD did not require a traffic
impact study because this area was studied and included in the Ten Mile Interchange Specific
Area Plan (see below).

3. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT)
Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD's most current traffic counts.
Updated traffic counts were not requested for this application as Franklin Road between Ten Mile and
Linder was under construction from February through October of 2093.
The average daily traffic count for Ten Mile Road south of Franklin Road was 20,012 on
2/29/2012.
The average daily traffic count for Franklin Road west of Linder Road was 10,499 on
7106/2011.
C. Findings for Consideration
1. Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan (TMISAP)
The transportation element of the TMISAP is to guide transportation decisions in the Ten Mile
Interchange Area. It was developed concurrently with the Land Use and Design Elements and
has been designed to preserve the integrity of the arterial road system and the proposed Ten Mile
interchange; provide for the use of public transit; enhance pedestrian and bicycle mobility and
accessibility; and create transportation infrastructure and promote land use patterns that
encourage the sustainable use of resources and reduces demands on natural resources.
TM Creek
The TMISAP recommends the construction of an east/west collector roadway along the site's
south property line, anorth/south collector through the site stubbing to the south, and a
roundabout at the collector/collector intersection. (As indicated by the red ovals on the picture
below).The applicant's proposal is consistent with the TMISAP.

2. Ten Mile Road
a. Existing Conditions: Ten Mile Road is improved with 5 to 7-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter,
and a 7-foot wide asphalt path and 7-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk abutting the site.
There is 110 to 180-feet of right-of-way for Ten Mile Road (120-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.
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 Ten Mile Road is designated in the
MSM as a Residential Mobility Arterial with 5-lanes and on-street bike lanes, an 80-foot street
section within 100 feet of right-of-way.
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.
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

d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Franklin Road was recently reconstructed as a 5-lane
roadway in conjunction with the Franklin Road Ten Mile to Linder Road project and is fully-
improved. Therefore, staff recommends no additional roadway improvements or right-of-way
dedication on Franklin Road be required as part of this application.
4. Franklin Crossing Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: There are no collector roadways within the site.
b. Policy:
4 TM Creek
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.
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.
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. Anew collector roadway was identified on the MSM
with the street typology of Town Center Collector. The new collector roadway should intersect
with Franklin Road on the north and continue through the property stubbing to the south. The
Town Center Collector typology as depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide recommends a
3-lane roadway with bike lanes, and on street parking, a 60-foot street section within 88 feet of
right-of-way.
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.
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.
Landscape Medians Policy: District policy 7206.5.14 states that landscape medians are
permissible where adequate pavement width is provided on each side of the median to
accommodate the travel lanes and where the following is provided:
• The median is platted as right-of-way owned by ACHD.
• The width of an island near an intersection is 12-feet maximum for a minimum distance of
150-feet. Beyond the 150-feet, the island may increase to a maximum width of 30-feet.
• At an intersection that is signalized or is to be signalized in the future, the median width
shall be reduced to accommodate the necessary turn lane storage and tapers.
• The Developer or Homeowners Association shall apply fora license agreement if
landscaping is to be placed within these medians.
TM Creek
• 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 Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct 3 different street sections for
Franklin Crossing Avenue. The proposed street sections north and south of the creek in the
interim provide on-street parking on both sides of the roadway, 2 travel lanes, a center turn
lane/median, bike lanes on both sides of the roadway, curb, gutter, and 7-foot attached
concrete sidewalks. This proposal is consistent with the Town Center Collector street
typology in the TMAISAP and the MSM.
As traffic increases in the area and additional capacity is needed to serve the site the on-
street parking could be removed and the roadway restriped to a 5-lane roadway with bike
lanes, curb, gutter, and a 7-foot wide attached concrete sidewalk.
The applicant has proposed to construct the Franklin Crossing Avenue bridge section over the
Ten Mile Drain as a 3-lane roadway with parking, bike lanes and 7-foot wide attached
concrete sidewalks.

Consistent with the TMISAP the applicant has proposed to stub Franklin Crossing Avenue to
the south to allow for its future extension through an existing 111 acre parcel (Treasure Valley
Investments) located directly south of the site. The applicant has proposed to construct a
temporary turnaround at the terminus of the stub street.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant has proposed constructing the roadway
to provide 3 lanes plus parking to facilitate the future expansion of the roadway to a 5 lane
section without parking, if necessary in the future. The Traffic Impact Study conducted with
the TMISAP did not indicate 5 lanes would be necessary in the future. However, staff
recommends approval of the street sections as proposed, at the applicant's request. The
parking lanes are consistent with the TMISAP and if the traffic is greater than the projections
the roadway may be expanded by restriping. The City of Meridian is supportive of the
applicant's request. Therefore, the applicant's proposal to construct 3 different street sections
for Franklin Crossing Avenue, consistent with the Town Center Collector street typology in the
TMAISAP and the MSM, should be approved, as proposed.
5. Franklin Crossing Avenue/Franklin Road Intersection
As part of the Franklin Road widening project, conduit was installed at the Franklin Crossing
Avenue/Franklin Road intersection to accommodate the installation of a future signal. Installation
of a signal in this location is planned by ACRD and is consistent with the recommendations of the
TMISAP.
Consistent with the access approvals for the site and to accommodate the traffic anticipated to be
generated by the proposed TM Creek project, the applicant should be required to design and
install a signal at the Franklin Road/Franklin Crossing Avenue intersection. The signal should be
constructed through the signal poles and luminaires, prior to signature on the first final plat. When
the signal is warranted in the future, as determined by ACRD, the District will complete the
installation of the mast arms, signal heads, controller and wiring and put the signal into operation.
The northbound leg of the intersection should be striped with 2 receiving lanes; a center blanked
out lane, and dedicated right and left turn lanes. The first 200-feet south of Franklin Road should
be signed for "NO PARKING". Coordinate the design, striping, and signage of the northbound leg
of the intersection with District Traffic Services and Development Review staff.
6. Ten Mile Creek Drive
a. Existing Conditions: There are no collector roadways within the site.
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.
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.
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD 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. Anew collector roadway was identified on the MSM
with the street typology of Town Center Collector. The new collector roadway should intersect
with Ten Mile Road on the west and continue through the property stubbing to the east. The
Town Center Collector typology as depicted in the Livable Street Design Guide recommends a
3-lane roadway with bike lanes, and on street parking, a 60-foot street section within 88 feet of
right-of-way.
TM Creek
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.
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.
Landscape Medians Policy: District policy 7206.5.14 states that landscape medians are
permissible where adequate pavement width is provided on each side of the median to
accommodate the travel lanes and where the following is provided:
• The median is platted as right-of-way owned by ACHD.
• The width of an island near an intersection is 12-feet maximum for a minimum distance of
150-feet. Beyond the 150-feet, the island may increase to a maximum width of 30-feet.
• At an intersection that is signalized or is to be signalized in the future, the median width
shall be reduced to accommodate the necessary turn lane storage and tapers.
• The Developer or Homeowners Association shall apply fora license agreement if
landscaping is to be placed within these medians.
• The license agreement shall contain the District's requirements of the developer including,
but not limited to, a "hold harmless" clause; requirements for maintenance by the
developer; liability insurance requirements; and restrictions.
• Vertical curbs are required around the perimeter of any raised median. Gutters shall slope
away from the curb to prevent ponding.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Ten Mile Creek Drive with two
11-foot wide travel lanes, 13-foot wide center landscape island, 5-foot wide bike lanes, vertical
curb, gutter, 8-foot wide planter strip, and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalks within 78-
feet of right-of-way. The applicant has proposed to preserve 10 additional feet of right-of-way
on each side of the roadway totaling 98-feet to preserve for future roadway expansion.
Consistent with the TMISAP the applicant has proposed to construct the first 300-feet of Ten
Mile Creek Drive east of Ten Mile Road, stubbing to the 111 acres parcel (Treasure Valley
Investments) directly south and east of the site. The applicant has proposed to construct a
temporary turnaround at the terminus of the stub street.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Policy and
should be approved, as proposed with the exception of the width of the proposed center
TM Creek
landscape islands. Consistent with District policy 7206.5.14 the center landscape islands
should be reduced to a maximum width of 12-feet and platted as right-of-way owned by
ACHD. The applicant or the owners association should enter into a license agreement with
the District for any landscaping proposed within the center landscape island.
The extension of Ten Mile Creek Drive east to the proposed roundabout at the Ten Mile Creek
Drive/Franklin Crossing intersection will require coordination with property owner to the south
(Treasure Valley Investments, LLC). The applicant should be required to design Ten Mile
Creek Road from Ten Mile Road east to the proposed roundabout at the Ten Mile Creek
Drive/Franklin Crossing intersection.
If the right-of-way can be acquired from the property owner to the south (Treasure Valley
Investments, LLC) and a cost share agreement between the two parties can be reached, the
roadway should be constructed as part of this project. If right-of-way and cost share
agreement for the construction of the roadway cannot be acquired at this time, then the
applicant should be required to provide a road trust deposit for the construction of half of the
road minus half of the design cost. Ten Mile Creek Drive would then be constructed when the
parcel to the south develops.
7. Roundabout
a. Existing Conditions: There are no roundabouts within the site.
b. Policy:
Intersection Control Policy: District policy 5108.5 states that roundabout traffic control shall
be considered and evaluated as an option if the intersection is being considered for
improvement for any of the following reasons:
A capacity deficiency exists, and an all-way stop and/or traffic signal volume
warrant is met as defined in the MUTCD; or
A safety deficiency exists; or
Unconventional geometry exists (e.g., five approaches).
An alternatives analysis (potentially including other intersection control types, such as signals
and stop signs) shall be conducted at all intersections where a roundabout is being
considered. The alternatives analysis shall include a detailed traffic operations analysis and
shall consider ACHD costs (e.g., right-of-way, construction, and maintenance) and public costs
(e.g., delay, safety, and the environment.) The alternatives analysis should be the decision-
making tool used to determine whether or not a roundabout will be constructed. Final
discretion for all intersection control decisions rests with ACRD.
Traffic Operations Analysis Policy: District Policy 5108.6 states that traffic conditions shall
be analyzed for all peak periods of the intersection's construction year and design year(s). The
construction year is the year the roundabout will be constructed and opened. For federally
funded projects the design year is 20 years after the construction year. There may be multiple
design years if considering interim designs.
Analysis Procedure Policy: District Policy 5108.6.2 states that traffic analysis procedures
shall be consistent with the most recent version of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM)
beginning with the 2010 edition. Prior to the publication of the 2010 HCM the traffic analysis
procedures shall be based upon the equations summarized in NCHRP Report 572:
Roundabouts in the United States. Additional analytical or simulation tools may be required to
supplement the traffic analysis. The additional analysis tools shall be calibrated to match
either the data summarized in NCHRP Report 572, the 2010 HCM (or its subsequent
updates), or local conditions. Site selection, data collection, and calibration methods must be
pre-approved by ACHD Traffic.
TM Creek
Result Reporting Policy: District Policy 5108.6.3 states that roundabout traffic operations
shall be reported on a lane-by-lane basis. Volume-to-capacity (V/C), traffic delay, level of
service, and 95th percentile queues shall be reported.
Acceptable Thresholds Policy: District Policy 5108.6.4 states that the acceptable level of
service for all roundabouts shall be based upon the critical/worst lane and a maximum
volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio of 0.85.
Roundabout Designers Policy: District Policy 5108.8.1 states that ACHD roundabout
projects shall be designed and submitted by ACRD staff or prequalified firms approved to
design roundabouts by ACHD. A peer review shall be performed by an ACHD prequalified
roundabout peer review firm for all roundabouts designed by ACHD staff. The list of firms
approved to design and review roundabouts will be available to the public.
The ACHD prequalified firms approved to design roundabouts are recommended for
developer projects. If a roundabout is not designed by a firm prequalified by ACHD to design
roundabouts, the developer shall have a roundabout peer review performed by a firm
acceptable to ACHD.
Preliminary Deliverables Policy:
District Policy 5108.8.2 states that before plat approval, right-of-way dedication or purchase,
grading, or other details are designed, the designer shall demonstrate to ACHD's satisfaction
that the preliminary roundabout design meets the standards set forth in ACHD Roundabout
Policy. All roundabout designs will be required to meet the same standards outlined in the
roundabout policy. Preliminary submittal deliverables shall include the following items:
1. Traffic Operation Analysis Summary
Include input parameter summary sheets and output tables as necessary so analysis can
be independently replicated.
2. 1:50 Scale Plan View
Include curbs and pavement markings. Plan view shall be supplemented with an AutoCAD
compatible file.
3. Wheel Path Plots
Illustrate the wheel paths of the design vehicle(s) making every movement from each
approach. Additionally, aside-by-side swept path plot shall be provided with the
appropriate design vehicle(s) for multilane roundabout sections.
4. Fastest Path Plots
Illustrate the fastest path for every movement from each approach. Include a complete
speed comparison table.
5. Natural Path Plots
Illustrate the natural path for every movement from each approach.
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct adual-lane roundabout at the
Franklin CrossinglTen Mile Creek Drive intersection located approximately 1,300-feet east of Ten
Mile Road and 1,300-feet south of Franklin Road at the south property line. The roundabout is
proposed to be split on the property line with the south half of the roundabout to be constructed on
parcel no. S1214233665, owned by Treasure Valley Investments, LLC, and the north half of the
roundabout would be constructed within the boundaries of the site. The applicant has proposed
to construct the dual-lane roundabout and make modifications to the interior of the roundabout
allowing it to function as a single lane roundabout until the second lane is needed to increase the
capacity of the intersection.
10 TM Creek
Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct a roundabout at the
Franklin CrossinglTen Mile Creek Drive intersection at the south property is consistent with the
TMISAP, provides access to the parcel to the south and should be approved, as proposed.
The applicant should be required to design and build the roundabout as a dual lane roundabout
that can be modified as an interim single lane roundabout and expanded in the future if the
collector roadways require 5 lanes in the future. If the right-of-way can be acquired from the
property owner to the south (Treasure Valley Investments, LLC) and a cost share agreement
between the two parties can be reached, the roundabout should be constructed as a single lane
roundabout with this project. If right-of-way for the construction of the roundabout cannot be
acquired at this time, then the applicant should be required to provide a road trust deposit for the
half the construction costs of the roundabout minus half the design costs. The roundabout would
then be constructed when the parcel to the south develops.
The applicant should enter into a development agreement with the District which would be
recorded against the land and notes that when the second lane needs to be added to the
roundabout that the applicant or current property owner will pay their portion of the design and
construction costs associated with the future roundabout expansion.
The applicant should be required to provide the preliminary deliverables for the roundabout design
as part of the plan submittal as identified in District policy 5108.8.2, noted above. The roundabout
should be designed by a qualified designer following ACHD's Roundabout Design Guidelines.
The applicant should be required to dedicate all islands as right-of-way owned by ACRD; and the
Developer or Property Owners Association should apply for a license agreement if landscaping is
to be placed within the islands.
8. Cost Share Agreements
As noted in Findings 6 and 7, the construction of Ten Mile Creek Drive and the roundabout will
require cooperation between the applicant and the property owner to the south. The applicant
reports they have had discussions with the property owner to the south and they have both
agreed on the alignment presented. Each property, when it develops should be required to enter
into a Development Agreement to provide for the design and construction of the road and
roundabout the apportionment of costs.
The TM Creek applicant should be required to design the roadway and roundabout and provide a
deposit for half the costs of construction minus the design costs. When the property to the south
develops, that applicant will be required to construct the road and roundabout paying the balance
of construction costs and be reimbursed for the applicant's proportionate share from the deposit.
The Development Agreements will provide for any differences in the estimated costs versus the
actual costs. If the property owner to the south will work with the TM Creek applicant and
dedicate the right-of-way with this development, the applicant should then be required to build the
road and roundabout at this time and be reimbursed in the future from the property owner to the
south when they develop. This will require both parties entering into the Development
Agreements at this time to provide for the apportionment of costs and future reimbursement.
9. Roadway Offsets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no roadways constructed within the site, however, as part of
Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road widening projects approaches were constructed for future
public streets. A 46-foot wide full access approach was constructed onto Ten Mile Road
located 1,150-feet south of Franklin Road and a 46-foot wide approach was constructed onto
Franklin Road located 1,180-feet east of Ten Mile Road.
b. Policy: Collector Offset Policy: District policy 7205.4.2 states that the optimum spacing for
new signalized collector roadways intersecting principal arterials is one half-mile.
11 TM Creek
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing 46-foot wide
approach on Ten Mile Road for Ten Mile Creek Drive, and to widen the existing 46-foot wide
on Franklin Road to 70-feet for Franklin Crossing Avenue. The applicant has not proposed
changes the locations of the existing roadway approaches.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to utilize the existing 46-foot
wide full access approach onto Ten Mile Road located 1,150-feet south of Franklin Road and
the location of the existing 46-foot wide full access approach onto Franklin Road located
1,180-feet east of Ten Mile Road does not meet District offset policy, which requires new
collectors intersecting principal arterial roadways to be located at the half mile.
However, staff recommends approval of the applicant's proposal to utilize the existing
approaches onto Ten Mile and Franklin Road as the location of these roadways were
previously approved, and the approaches were built as part of the Ten Mile and Franklin Road
widening projects.
Ten Mile Creek Drive will operate as a full access public street. This street may be restricted
to left-in/right-in/right-out, or right-in/right-out operations in the future if safety or traffic
operations require modifications, as determined by ACHD.

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.
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 ACHD 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.

cover administrative costs, as established by the Commission.
