Development
Application
H-2019-0022 FP
Project Name
WESTBRIDGE SUBDIVISION NO.2
Project Location
5865 North Black Cat Road, south of US -20/26 milepost 35.16
Project Description
Construct a subdivision consisting of 30 units and 11 common lots on 12.71 acres of land in
the R-8 zoning district
Applicant
Trilogy Idaho
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reviewed the final plat application and has the following comments:
1. This project does not abut the State highway system.
2. This development will gain access to the State Highway system along the US -20/26 (West Chinden
Boulevard) corridor. The City is reminded that the US -20/26 (West Chinden Boulevard) corridor is
already congested. This project will increase the number of vehicle trips in this corridor. While this
individual development is not large, the accumulation of developments accessing the State Highway
system at the US -20/26 (West Chinden Boulevard) corridor 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.
3. The STAR project for the improvement of US -20/26 Ten Mile Road to SH -16 is projected to begin
construction next spring. The project includes the installation of a traffic signal at US -20/26 and North
Black Cat Road. ITD respectfully requests the City withhold all occupancy permits until a traffic signal
has been installed at US -20/26 and North Black Cat Road.
4. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway.
5. The Idaho Administrative Procedures Act (IDAPA) 39.03.60 governs advertising along the State highway
system. The applicant may contact Justin Pond, Right -of -Way Section Program Manager, at (208) 334-
8832 for more information.
