RE: H-2016-0020 OAK SOUTH SUBDIVISION NO. 4
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has reviewed the referenced final plat application for the
Oak South Subdivision No. 4 south of W. McMillian Road between N. McDermott Road and N. Black
Cat Road that is south of US-20/26. ITD has the following comments:
1. ITD has no objection to the proposed project and does not require any mitigation.
2. This project does not abut the State highway system.
3. W. McMillan Road is not planned to have direct access to the future Hwy. 16 alignment. A
structure will provide access to the west side of the future Hwy. 16 alignment. Access to the
future Hwy. 16 alignment will be via Ustick Road or Chinden Blvd.
If you have any questions, you may contact Shona Tonkin at 334-8341 or me at 332-7191.
Sincerely,
James K. Morrison

Dear Planners:
Joint School District No. 2 (dba West Ada School District) has experienced phenomenal student growth
in the last ten years. Nearly every high school, middle school, and elementary school throughout the
district is operating at or over capacity. Approval of the Oaks South Subdivision No. 4 will have an
impact on school enrollments at the elementary, middle school and high school levels in West Ada
School District. Based on U.S. census data, we can predict that these homes, when completed, will
house 37 school aged children.
West Ada School District supports economic growth. However, growth fosters the need for additional
school capacity. Revenue support from developers of new residential subdivisions for the purchase of
the school sites necessary to serve the proposed subdivision is required. West Ada School District
estimates the revenue required for the purchase of future school sites is $830.00 per new home
constructed. The approval of Oaks South Subdivision No. 4 will create the need for $38.180 in revenue
to purchase the school sites this subdivision will require. In lieu of these sources of revenue, the district
will accept the donation of land appropriate for a school site. Such a site would need water and sewer
service availableand prior to the commencement of construction, the district will need to pass a bond
issue for the construction of schools.
Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school as it may be necessary to bus
students to available classrooms across the district. We ask that you require the developer to provide
safe walkways, bike baths and safe pedestrian access for our students. School capacity is addressed in
Idaho code 67-6508. Future development will continue to have an impact on the district's capacity.
ncerely,
Assistant Superintendent - Operations
West Ada School District
