I hope you think the relationship has been, and will continue to be, mutually beneficial . To this end, I would like to confirm that I am the only party authorized to sign and execute contracts on behalf of Steiner Development, LLC. I make note of this since in some agreements it appears that Doug Campbell has mistakenly been described in various capacities, including the capacity to sign agreements. Future agreements should be made in the name of Steiner Development, LLC, with me signing as manager. Doug Campbell will continue to be our liaison in Boise for day to day activities. However, Doug has never had the actual or apparent authority to contract on behalf on Steiner Development, LLC. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in the matter. Please advise should you have any comments or questions.

Bradbury Jones Gledhill Attorneys at Law 877 Main Street Boise, Idaho 83702 Subject: The Villa @ Lake Subdivision Dear Mr. Bradbury: Earth Tech was retained to conduct a minor traffic impact analysis for the above Telephone referenced project. The Villa at The Lake is a 46 -lot residential subdivision on 8.53 acres. The site is located approximately '/2 mile north of Cherry Lane and '/2 mile east 2 0 8.3 4 3.3 6 0 g of Black Cat Road. Figure 1 shows the preliminary layout of the development. The site is currently undeveloped. The subdivision is proposed to be developed with Facsimile private roads from Interlachen Way with no connection to Ashford Greens Boulevard 208.343-3572 : to the northwest of the site. The purpose of this traffic study is to: estimate the traffic on Interlachen Way; determine the impact of the extension Interlachen Way to Ashford Greens Boulevard. INVENTORY The property is zoned currently as R-4. Interlachen Way is improved south of this site with a 41 -foot street section with curb, gutter and sidewalk and has no pathway designation. Interlachen Way is designated as a "collector street" south of Turnberry Way and has 19 houses that front -on Interlachen Way. Existing peak hour traffic during 4-6 pm on Interlachen Way are counted at Turnberry Way, Incline Way, Sugar Creek, and Cherry Lane is counted and is attached to this letter. Based on an assumed ratio of peak hour traffic to average daily traffic (PHT/ADT) of 10%, these counts indicate daily traffic on Interlachen Way as follows: 771 vehicles per day (VPD) north of Cherry Lane; 725 VPD north of Sugar Creek Drive; 552 VPD north of Incline Way; and 184 VPD north of Turnberry Way. TRIP GENERATION The site is proposed to be developed into 46 single family residences. The trip generation rates for "single family residential" are obtained from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (6`h edition). Table 1 summarizes the trip generated by the Villa @ Lake subdivision. E A R T H @ T E C H 1 Formerly Bell -Walker Engineers Inc.

The 1995 network and demographics were used in the model. Results indicate the percent distribution of the residential traffic as follows: 29.7% directed to Ustick Road East; 0.3% directed to Ustick Road West; 5% directed to Black Cat Road South; 3.7% directed to Black Cat Road North; 26.3% directed to Ten Mile Road South; 0.6% directed to Ten Mile Road North; 0.7% directed to Cherry Lane West; and 31.7% directed to Cherry Lane East. This is summarized and shown in Figure 2. Without a connection of Interlachen Way to Ashford Green, the distribution shown in figure 2 would increase the daily traffic on Interlachen Way by: 440 VPD north of Turnberry Way; 302 VPD north of Incline Way; 284 VPD north of Sugar Creek; and 284 VPD north of Cherry Lane. EXTENSION OF INTERLACHEN WAY TO ASHFORD BLVD ACHD proposed that Interlachen Way be extended and connected to Ashford Green Boulevard. The primary concern for this connection is the increase in the traffic on Interlachen Way due to the cut -through traffic from adjacent subdivisions and land uses. Results from trip distribution of the Regional transportation model indicate that: (1) about 58.4% (see figure 2) of the Ashford Greens traffic is directed to the intersection of Cherry Lane and Ten Mile Road; (2) about 4% (see figure 2) of the Cherry Lane Village traffic is directed to the intersection of Black Cat Road/Ustick Road; and (3) about 43.9% of the Golf Course traffic is directed to the intersection of Cherry Lane and Ten Mile Road. Three travel paths are analyzed and ranked for their travel time between the intersections of Ashford Blvd/Lacoste Way and Cherry Lane/Ten Mile Road, namely: E A R T H `' T E C H 3 �I 0.3: USTICK RD X �I o 29.7% U J ASHFORD GREENS Q VILLA • LAKE Z m w 0.7% '—' CHERRY LN 31.7% ♦—► �I a NI FIGURE 2 TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION 9 • (1) Ashford Blvd -Black Cat Road -Cherry Lane; (2) Ashford Blvd -Stub Street- Interlachen Way -Cherry Lane; (3) Ashford Blvd -Harbor Pointe Drive-Muirfield Drive -Ten Mile Road. Travel time computations, assuming minimal node delay and posted speed limits on roadways, indicate that the path including the Interlachen Way is the minimal travel time path for traffic between the two selected intersections. Impact of eliminating the connection between Daly Lane and Couples Lane was also estimated on the least travel time paths. Such an alignment would only increase the travel time on Interlachen Way path marginally, nevertheless, Interlachen Way path would continue to be the least travel time path of the three paths described above. Impact of the Interlachen Way extension, as detailed in the previous paragraphs, is quantified by determining the increase in the traffic on Interlachen Way at various locations. Table 2 presents the daily traffic projections on Interlachen Way with and without the proposed extension. CONCLUSIONS Based on the proposed land use description, the Villa @ Lake subdivision would generate a total of 440 daily trips and 46 peak hour trips. About 285 daily trips from the site are directed towards Cherry Lane. Extending Interlachen Way to Ashford Blvd. would increase the traffic on Interlachen Way significantly, as shown in table 2, because of the cut -through traffic. Consequently Interlachen Way would function as a continuous collector roadway from Blackcat to Cherry Lane with traffic volumes north of Turnberry Way exceeding 1000 vpd. If Interlachen Way is not extended to Ashford Blvd, it is recommended that pedestrian, bicycle, and golf cart access be constructed between the Cul-de-sac and Ashford Blvd. Very truly yours, EARTH TECH Gary�unkhouser, P.E.
