RE: H-2015-0037 LOGAN CREEK SUBDIVISION
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has reviewed the referenced preliminary plat application
for the Logan Creek Subdivision at 4617 & 4620 S. Martinel Lane east of SH-69. ITD has the
following comments:
1. ITD has no objection to this application and does not require any mitigation.
2. This property does not abut the State highway system.
If you have any questions, you may contact Shona Tonkin at 334-8341 or me at 332-7191.

Dear Planners:
Joint School District No. 2 (dba West Ada School District) has experienced phenomenal student growth
in the last ten years. Nearly every high school, middle school, and elementary school throughout the
district is operating at or over capacity. Approval of the Logan Creek Subdivision will have an impact on
school enrollments at the elementary, middle school and high school levels in West Ada School District.
Based on U.S. census data, we can predict that these homes, when completed, will house 56 school
aged children.
West Ada School District supports economic growth. However, growth fosters the need for additional
school capacity. Revenue support from developers of new residential subdivisions for the purchase of
the school sites necessary to serve the proposed subdivision is required. West Ada School District
estimates the revenue required for the purchase of future school sites is $830.00 per new home
constructed. The approval of Logan Creek Subdivision will create the need for $58,100 in revenue to
purchase the school sites this subdivision will require. In lieu of these sources of revenue, the district
will accept the donation of land appropriate for a school site. Such a site would need water and sewer
service available, and prior to the commencement of construction, the district will need to pass a bond
issue for the construction of schools.
Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school as it may be necessary to bus
students to available classrooms across the district. We ask that you require the developer to provide
safe walkways, bike baths and safe pedestrian access for our students. School capacity is addressed in
Idaho code 67-6508. Future development will continue to have an impact on the district's capacity.
Sincerely
Poe rocm
Interim uperintendent
West Ada School District
