Application H-2018-0055 FP
Project Name SEYAM EAST
Project Location
North of East Franklin Road between North Eagle Road and North Cloverdale Road,
east of SH-55 milepost 37.0
Project Description
Construct a subdivision consisting of 10 building lots on 22.98 acres of land in I-L
zoning district
Applicant Volante Investments. LLLP
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reviewed the final plat application and has the following
comments:
1. The project does not abut the State highway system.
2. Traffic generation numbers were not provided with this application. ITD needs more information
on the trip generations to determine what mitigations, if any, that the applicant may be required to
construct on the State Highway system. Additionally, if the new development at full build out of
all phases generates 100 or more new trips in the peak hour or 1000 new trips in a day, a Traffic
Impact Study (TIS) reflecting full build out of the site will be required. Any necessary mitigation
for traffic impacts identified by the Traffic Impact Study shall be the responsibility of the applicant
to install. ITD reserves the right to make further comments upon review of any submitted traffic
generation data or other documents.
3. The City is reminded that the SH-55 corridor is 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 is ultimately
overloaded and fails. ITD has no current funding assigned to mitigate traffic congestion in the SH-
55 corridor in this area.
4. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway.
5. 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.
6. ITD objects to the proposed application due to traffic concerns. ITD will withdraw any objection
to the proposed application once all traffic concerns have been addressed with ITD Staff.
If you have any questions, you may contact Tom Haynes at (208) 334-8944 or me at (208) 332-7190.
Sincerely,
Ken Couch
