Project Name
VICENZA ESTATES SUBDIVISION NO.4
Project Location
Southeast corner of North Black Cat Road and West Gondola Drive, south of US -20/26
milepost 35.3
Project Description
Construct a subdivision consisting of 29 building lots and 3 common lots.
Applicant
Mike McCollum, Cottonwood Development
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reviewed the referenced final plat application and has the following
comments:
This project does not abut the State highway system.
2. ITD does not support any development that will add additional traffic to the intersection of US -20/26
(West Chinden Boulevard) and North Black Cat Road until an intersection analysis incorporating all
proposed developments has been conducted and the identified intersection improvements have been
completed.
The City is reminded that the US -20/26 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.
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 as noted in item 2 and item 3

7. Once an intersection analysis incorporating all proposed developments has been conducted and the
identified improvements have been completed, ITD will withdraw any objection to the application.
8. ITD respectfully requests that all building and occupancy permits be withheld until such time that traffic
concerns are resolved.
