In response to your request for comment, the Ada County Highway District (ACHD)
Planning Review staff has reviewed the submitted application and site plan for the item
referenced above. It has been determined that there are no site specific requirements for
you at this time due to the fact that all required road improvements currently exist.
If the site plan or use should change in the future, ACHD Planning Review will review the
site plan and may require improvements to the transportation system at that time.
Prior to final approval you will need to submit construction plans to the ACHD
Development Review Department to insure compliance with the conditions identified
above or for traffic impact fee assessment. This is a separate review process that requires
direct plans submittal to the Development Review staff at the Highway District.
A traffic impact fee will need to be assessed by ACHD and will be due prior to the
issuance of a buifding permit. Contact ACHD Planning & Development Services at
387-6170 for information regarding impact fees.
Prior to the construction or installation of any roadway improvements (curb, gutter,
sidewalk, pavement widening, driveways, culverts, etc), a permit or license agreement
must be obtained from ACHD.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (208) 387-6174.
