RE: H-2018-0007 FP SKY MESA SUBDIVISION NO. 1
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has reviewed the final plat application consisting of 22 building lots and 3
(three) common lots on 9.35 acres for Sky Mesa Subdivision No. 1 by Sky Mesa Development, LLC, representing
Becky McKay with Engineering Solutions, LLP, located west of S. Eagle Rd. on the north side of E. Taconic Dr.,
south of I-84 milepost 45.70. ITD has the following comments:
1. This property does not abut the State highway system.
2. 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.
3. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway.
4. The City is reminded that the I-84 corridor is already congested. This project will increase the number of
vehicle trips in the corridor. As the City continues to add addition 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 corridor in this area.
5. ITD does not object to the construction of this project.
If you have any questions, you may contact Shona Tonkin at (208) 334-8341or me at 332-7190.
Sincerely,
Ken Couch
