Jay Coles Meridian City Clerk’s Office 33 East Idaho Avenue Meridian, Idaho 83642 VIA EMAIL Development Application H-2018-0094 TEC Project Name EARL GLEN SUBDIVISION Project Location 1780 East McMillan Road, west of SH-55 milepost 44.0 Project Description Two year time extension on the preliminary plat in order to obtain the City Engineer’s signature on a final plat and extend the time to commence the multi-family use as permitted with a conditional use permit for Earl Glen Subdivision Applicant Riley Planning Services The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reviewed the referenced time extension 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 governs 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. IDAHO TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT P.O.
