Application H-2018-0073 FP
Project Name PINE 43 SUBDIVISION NO 1
Project Location
Northeast of the intersection of North Locust Grove and East Pine Avenue, west of
SH-55 milepost 37.61
Project Description Construct a subdivision consisting of 68 residential lots and 5 common lots
Applicant Dan Torfin of C & O Development
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reviewed the referenced final plat application and has the
following comments:
1. This project does not abut the State highway system.
2. The City is reminded that the SH-55 (Eagle Road) 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 (Eagle Road) corridor in this area.
3. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway.
4. 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.
5. ITD does not object to the construction of a subdivision consisting of 68 residential lots and 5
common lots as presented in the application
If you have any questions, you may contact Tom Haynes at (208) 334-8944 or me at (208) 332-7190.
