compliance.
The applicant has submitted letters from potential easement holders (Idaho Power and Intermountain

modify the lines. The applicant should coordinate with Idaho Power and ACHD regarding the
relocation of these lines prior to commencing with construction on the site. Per ACHD,the applicant
will be dedicating additional right-of-way along N. Main Street and E. Broadway Avenue to
accommodate other utility providers.
In order for ACHD to act on the applicant's request to vacate the existing right-of-way, ACHD must
receive a recommendation for approval (consent) from the City Council. Because the applicant's
request is consistent with the condition approved with the Meridian Station project, staff supports the
request to vacate the surplus ROW as proposed.
