Application H-2018-0095 FP
Project Name TM CREEK SUBDIVISION NO 4
Project Location
Southeast corner of West Franklin Road and South Ten Mile Road, north of I-84
milepost 42.24
Project Description
Construct a subdivision consisting of 12 commercial building lots in a C-G zoning
district
Applicant SCS Brighton, LLC
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. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway.
3. 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.
4. The ITD has concerns about traffic impacts to the State Highway system from this proposed
development. This development will gain access to the State Highway system at the I-84/Ten Mile
Road interchange. The City is reminded that the I-84 corridor is already congested. This project
will increase the number of vehicle trips in these corridors. While this individual development is
not large, the accumulation of developments accessing the State Highway system at the I-84/Ten
Mile Road interchange is creating additional congestion. As the City continues to add additional
trips to these corridors 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 I-84 corridor in this area.
5. ITD does not object to the construction of a subdivision consisting of 12 commercial 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.
