Applicant A Team Consultants
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reviewed the preliminary plat, conditional use permit, and
development agreement modification applications 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 US-20 (Chinden Boulevard)
and Linder Road intersection. The City is reminded that the US-20 (Chinden Boulevard) corridor
is already congested. This project will increase the number of vehicle trips in this corridor. The
accumulation of developments accessing the State Highway system along the US-20 (Chinden
Boulevard) 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.
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 preliminary plat, conditional use permit, and modification of the
development agreement as presented in the application.
If you have any questions, you may contact Ken Couch at (208) 332-7190 or me at (208) 334-8338.
