Development
Application H-2018-0100 PP
Project Name JOCELYN PARK SUBDIVISION
Project Location
Southwest corner of West Victory Road and South Meridian Road, east of SH-69
milepost 8.00
Project Description Construct a subdivision consisting of 23 building lots and 2 common lots
Applicant Jarron Langston
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reviewed the referenced preliminary plat 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 along the SH-69 (South Meridian
Road) corridor. The City is reminded that the SH-69 (South Meridian Road) corridor is already
congested. This project will increase the number of vehicle trips in this corridor. While this individual
development is not large, the accumulation of developments accessing the State Highway system at the
SH-69 (South Meridian Road) corridor 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. ITD has no current funding assigned to mitigate traffic
congestion on the SH-69 (South Meridian Road) corridor in this area.
3. IDAPA 39.03.60 rules govern advertising along the State highway system. The applicant may contact
Justin Pond, Right-of-Way Section Program Manager, at (208) 334-8832 for more information.
4. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway.
