Applicant Miguel Murgoitio
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reviewed the referenced development agreement modification
application and has the following comments:
1. This project does not abut the State highway system.
2. If the new development at full build out generates 100 or more new trips in the peak hour or 1000 new
trips in a day, a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) reflecting full build out of the site will be required. ITD
needs more information on the trip generations to determine what mitigations, if any, that the applicant
may be required to construct on the State Highway system. Any necessary mitigation for traffic
impacts identified by the Traffic Impact Study shall be the responsibility of the applicant to install.
ITD reserves the right to make further comments upon review of any submitted traffic generation data
or other documents.
3. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway.
