RE: H-2017-0153 PP WINCO WELLS SUBDIVISION
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has reviewed the preliminary application by Dan Zimmerman
with TAIT and Associates for a parcel located at 2600 East Overland Road, south of I-84 mile post 45.55.
ITD has the following comments:
1. This property abuts the State highway system along I-84.
2. I-84 is a full access controlled highway.
3. 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 the corridor. As the City continues to add
additional trips to the corridor through development, the congestion will worsen until the roadway
system ultimately is overloaded and fails. ITD has no current funding assigned to mitigate traffic
congestion in the I-84 and SH-55 (Eagle Road) corridors in this area.
4. The interstate fence is typically constructed one foot within ITD Right Of Way, but may vary due
to terrain and other possible issues. All measurements relative to ITD Right of Way shall be taken
from the Right of Way monuments, not from the fence.
5. Noise walls will not be constructed by ITD in the I-84 Corridor in this area. Any noise walls
necessary for this development shall be constructed by the developer on private property
6. IDAPA 39.03.60 rules govern advertising along the State highway system. The applicant can
contact Justin Pond, Program Manager for ITD’s Headquarters Right-of-Way Section at 334-8832
for more information.
7. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway.
8. ITD does not object to this preliminary application as presented.
If you have any questions, you may contact Shona Tonkin at (208) 334-8341 or me at 332-7190.
Sincerely,
Ken Couch
