In response to your request for comment, the Ada County Highway District (ACRD) Planning Review
staff has reviewed the submitted application and site plan for the items 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 roadway improvements exist abutting the site.
If the site plan or use should change in the future, ACRD 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 ACRD
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 may be assessed by ACRD and will be due prior to the issuance of a
building permit. Contact ACRD Planning 8~ 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 ACRD.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (208) 387-6187.
Sincerely,
~~~
