Development
Application H-2019-0081 MDA
Project Name RACKHAM SUBDIVISION
Project Location 1020 South Eagle Road, south of I-84 milepost 46.49
Project Description
Modification to the Development Agreement to update the conceptual
development plan and phasing plan
Applicant FIGBVABC Eagle View, LLC
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reviewed the referenced development agreement modification
application and has the following comments:
1. This project abuts the State Highway system.
2. I-84 is a full access controlled highway. No direct access to the State highway system is
requested with this application and none is approved.
3. The interstate fence is typically constructed one foot within ITD Right Of Way, but may vary due
to terrain and other possible issues. All measurements relative to ITD Right of Way shall be
taken from the Right of Way monuments, not from the fence. Applicant must apply for and
receive an approved Right-of-Way use permit prior to doing any work or activity within the
highway Right-of-Way. The applicant may contact Shona Tonkin at (208) 334-8341 for this
permit.
4. Noise walls will not be constructed by ITD in the I-84 Corridor in this area. Any noise walls
necessary for this development shall be constructed by the developer on private property.
5. ITD received, reviewed, and accepted a Traffic Impact Study for the Rackham (ICCU Plaza)
Subdivision. The Traffic Impact Study indicates the development has a significant impact on the

State Highway system. Mitigation for traffic increases directly caused by the subdivision is not
cost effective or simple. In lieu of more expensive and costly mitigation, ITD recommends the
applicant construct a second right turn lane at the eastbound off ramp prior to commencing Phase
3 of the development or exceeding 668 PM peak trips in order to alleviate congestion and delays
at Exit 46 of I-84. Please refer to ITD’s TIS Acceptance Letter as attached for more detail.
6. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway.
7. 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 (208) 334-8832 for more information.
8. ITD has concerns about traffic impacts to the State Highway system from this proposed
development as noted in item 5.
9. Provided the applicant install the requested mitigation to ITD and FWHA standards prior to
commencing Phase 3, ITD does not object to the proposed application.
If you have any questions, you may contact Ken Couch at (208) 332-7190 or me at (208) 334-8338.
