Development
Application H-2019-0028 FP
Project Name MOVADO GREENS NO 2
Project Location 4155 East Overland Road, south of I-84 milepost 46.62
Project Description
Construct a subdivision consisting of 41 residential units and 3 common lots on
4.53 of land in the R-15 zoning district.
Applicant DevCo 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. 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/ North
Eagle Road interchange. The City is reminded that the I-84 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 I-84/ North Eagle 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.
3. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway.

highway system. The applicant may contact Justin Pond, Right-of-Way Section Program
Manager, at (208) 334-8832 for more information.
5. ITD does not object to the construction of a subdivision consisting of 41 residential units as
presented in the application.
