Application H-2018-0108 CUP
Project Name GODDARD SCHOOL
Project Location 2009 South Wells Avenue, south of I-84 milepost 45.63
Project Description
Conditional use permit for a daycare center for up to 150 children in a C-G zoning
district
Applicant Richard Antl
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reviewed the referenced conditional use permit application and
has the following comments:
1. This project does not abut the State highway system.
2. This development will gain access to the State Highway system at the I-84/SH-55 (North Eagle
Road) interchange. The City is reminded that the I-84 and SH-55 (Eagle Road) corridors are
already congested. This project will increase the number of vehicle trips in these corridors. While
this individual development is not large, the accumulation of developments accessing the State
Highway system at the I-84/SH-55 (North Eagle Road) interchange is creating additional
congestion. As the City continues to add additional trips to these corridors through development,
the congestion will worsen until the roadway system is ultimately overloaded and fails.
3. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway.
4. IDAPA 39.03.60 rules govern advertising along the State highway system. The applicant may
contact Justin Pond, Program Manager for ITD’s Headquarters Right-of-Way Section at (208) 334-
8832 for more information.
5. ITD does not object to the establishment of a daycare as presented in the application.
If you have any questions, you may contact Tom Haynes at (208) 334-8944 or me at (208) 332-7190.
