Watertower Lane Suite 202 Meridian, ID 83642 Dear Planners: 4 t.n &..` R 1 1. The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten Years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout are operating over capacity. the district Approval of the Regency at River Valley will have a significant impact on school enrollments at Ustick Element4M Lewis & Clark Middle and Mountain View Hi School. We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house seventy-one (71) elementary aged children, fifty-six (56) middle school aged children, and forty (40) senior high aged students. Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation. Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it ma be necessary to bus students to other schools across the district. y School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 855-4500.

The access at Regency is shown as a temporary full BoardSecretaiy access, to be modified to a permanent right in/out access when improvements to River Valley are complete. The location of Regency Lane does not meet ITD spacing requirement. Regency Lane was not shown as a proposed access point in the Eagle Road Study. It would require a variance to ITD policy and Meridian ordinance. No permit application has been submitted to ITD for access to Regency Lane. Without more information, I assume nearly 400 drivers would use this as a primary access for an unidentified period of time. The development is primarily residential with some office space. It will have good access at River Valley Street. I do not believe an additional permanent access point at Regency is needed, or in the interest of the traveling public. Improvements to Eagle Road: ITD requests a copy of the Traffic Impact Study to determine impacts to Eagle Road from the development, and propose development conditions for improvements to mitigate the impact. Typical conditions are construction of turn lanes and signals. Connectivity: Intent to provide connectivity to the adjacent parcels was noted in the application but ) was unsure if the site plan clearly designated cross access to the parcel at the NW corner. Roadside: I did not see any landscaping or sidewalks proposed along Eagle Road. Given the c funding situation for Eagle Road improvements, I would recommend the city requireurrent construction of those features.
