RE: H-2015-0033 PARAMOUNT VERANDA
The Idaho Transportation Department has reviewed the referenced final plat application for the
Paramount Veranda at 6280 N. Fox Run Way south of US-20/26 (Chinden Boulevard). ITD has the
following comments:
1. ITD has no objection to the requested application and does not require any mitigation.
2. No new access is requested and none is approved with this application. This property has
access at N. Fox Run Way.
3. ITD’s corridor plan for this area of US-20/26 requires 100-ft of right-of-way as measured from
the section line in US-20/26. A typical section is shown below. If the City requires berms or
other improvements, they should be constructed outside of the 100 feet of right-of-way. ITD
reminds the City that keeping costs down within this corridor will help with future construction
of US-20/26.
4. 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. Please have the applicant contact Shona
Tonkin at 334-8341 for this application.
5. No trees are allowed within the clear zone of the ITD Right-of-Way. Only planting of forage,
plants, grasses, flowers, and shrubs with a mature height not to exceed 3 feet will be allowed.
6. No rocks over 4 inches maximum size will be allowed in the ITD Right-of-Way.
7. Irrigation systems shall be no closer than 5 feet from the pavement edge and shall be adjusted
so as not to cause water to cover any portion of the highway pavement.
8. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway
system.
9. IDAPA 39.03.60 governs advertising along the right-of-way of any State highway system.
If you have any questions, you may contact Shona Tonkin at 334-8341 or me at 332-7191.
Sincerely,
James K. Morrison
