Below is an executive summary of the submitted traffic impact study prepared b Dobie
Engineering: y
• The proposed site access includes 2 all -movement access to Locust Grove Road.
access to Chinden (US 20/26) is proposed. No Direct
• The US 20/26 intersection with Locust Grove Road now operates with moderate traffic
congestion and ATD volumes are approaching the highway capacity of US 20/26.
• The proposed site access will conform to acceptable traffic capacity standards. The
average queue for vehicles exiting the site will be less than 1 vehicle and the queue back-up
extending south from the Chinden signal will not block either of the site access.
• The site access will not generate sufficient turning traffic to warrant a right -turn deceleration
lane on Locust Grove Road. The left -lane warrants are met for the business park and
school site.
• The Chinden/Locust Grove intersection will exceed the capacity of the existing lane
geometry by 2015, and through lane improvements will be needed to accommodate regional
traffic growth as identified in the COMPASS Long Range Transportation Plan.
Recommendations
• A two-way left -turn lane will need to b on Locust Grove Road at the main subdivision
entrance (East Three Corners Trail) and the school site to accommodate projected traffic.
The existing northbound LT should be extended as a TWLTL to south of the school
entrance.

Ada County Utility Coordinating Council
Developer/Local Improvement District
Right of Way Improvements Guideline Request
Purpose: To develop the necessary avenue for proper notification to utilities of local highway and
road improvements, to help the utilities in budgeting and to clarify the already existing process.
1) Notification: Within five (5) working days upon notification of required right of way improvements
by Highway entities, developers shall provide written notification to the affected utility owners and
the Ada County Utility Coordinating Council (UCC). Notification shall include but not be limited to,
project limits, scope of roadway improvements/project, anticipated construction dates, and any
Portions critical to the right of way improvements and coordination of utilities.
2) Plan Review: The developer shall provide the highway entities and all utility owners with
preliminary project plans and schedule a plan review conference. Depending on the scale of utility
improvements, a plan review conference may not be necessary, as determined by the utility
owners. Conference notification shall also be sent to the UCC. During the review meeting the
developer shall notify utilities of the status of right of way/easement acquisition necessary for their
project. At the plan review conference each company shall have the right to appeal, adjust and/or
negotiate with the developer on its own behalf. Each utility shall provide the developer with a letter
of review indicating the costs and time required for relocation of its facilities. Said letter of review is
