ITD has the following comments: 1. This property does not abut the State highway system. 2. This development will gain access to the State Highway system at the I-84 / SH-55 (Eagle Road) interchange. Trip generations for the full build out of the site were not provided. The Idaho Administrative Proceedures Act (IDAPA) governs access to state highways. Per IDAPA 39.03.42 rules, when a development generates 100 or more new trips in the peak hour, 1000 or more new trips per day, or the new volume of trips will result from development that equals or exceeds the threshold values in table 2, a traffic impact study shall be required, unless waived by the District Engineer. The applicant will be responsible to construct any mitigation identified by the traffic impact study.

Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway. 4. IDAPA 39.03.60 governs advertising along the State highway system. The applicant may contact Justin Pond, Program Manager for ITD’s Headquarters Right-of-Way Section at 334-8832 for more information. 5. The City is reminded that the I-84 and SH-55 corridors are already congested. This project will increase the number of vehicle trips in those corridors. ITD has no current funding assigned to mitigate traffic congestion in the I-84 and SH-55 corridors near this location. 6. ITD does not object to the construction of a subdivision on the parcel. If you have any questions, you may contact me at 332-7190 or Shona Tonkin at (208) 334-8341. Sincerely, Ken Couch Development Services Coordinator Ken.Couch@itd.idaho.gov
