Box 8028 • Boise, ID 83707-2028 (208) 334-8300 • itd.idaho.gov July 1, 2019 Chris Johnson Meridian City Clerk’s Office 33 East Idaho Avenue Meridian, Idaho 83642 VIA E-MAIL Development Application H-2019-0067 FP Project Name FIRENZE PLAZA SUBDIVISION Project Location Northwest corner of South Eagle Road and East Amity Road, east of SH-69 milepost 7.22 Project Description Construct a subdivision consisting of 12 building lots including an Albertsons and fuel center Applicant The Land Group 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. ITD has no current funding assigned to mitigate traffic congestion at the I-84 and SH-55 (Eagle Road) interchange. Additionally, the SH-69 corridor is also already congested. This project will increase the number of vehicle trips in the SH-69 corridor and through the I-84/SH-55 interchange as well. As the City continues to add additional trips to the SH-69 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-69 corridor in this area. 3. The Idaho Administrative Procedures Act (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 334-8832 for more information. 4. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway. IDAHO TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT P.O. Box 8028 • Boise, ID 83707-2028 (208) 334-8300 • itd.idaho.gov 5.
