ITD recently widened I-84 and no additional right of way is anticipated at this time. 2) Access to Interstate 84 will not be permitted. Interstate 84 is a fully access controlled roadway. 3) Noise walls have not been constructed in the I-84 Corridor and will not be constructed by ITD. The applicants should consider land uses with lower sensitivity to traffic noise. Any noise walls will be constructed by the developer on private property. 4) ITD does not anticipate an interchange of I-84 with Black Cat Road. There is an existing interchange at Ten Mile Road. Design standards require two-mile spacing between successive interchanges. Black Cat Road is only one mile from the Ten Mile Road interchange. If you have any questions, you may contact Matt Ward at 334-8341 or me at 334-8377. Sincerely, ~~ Dave Szplett Access Management Manager dave. szplett~,itd. idaho.gov November 15, 2011 Sonya Waters City of Meridian 33 E. Idaho Avenue Meridian, ID 83642 Re: Ten Mile Crossing, PP 11-010 Dear Ms. Waters: The Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) received the transmittal of the Preliminary Plat approval request (Ten Mile Crossing, PP i1-010). The project is bounded by Interstate 84 (I- 84)to the south, Black Cat Road to the west and Ten Mile Road to the east. The project consists of approximately 115 acres, 52 multi-family residential and 53 non-residential lots. Site Conditions and Forecasts The 2015 Federal and 2035 Planning Functional Classification Maps indicate Black Cat Road as a minor arterial, Ten Mile Road as a principal arterial and I-84 as an interstate. These maps and explanation of each is available on the COMPASS website at http:l/www.compassidaho.ora/prodserv/func-maps.htm. Figure 1 showing the 2035 Planning Functional Classification of existing roadways in the vicinity of the site. Figure 1 The site is located in two traffic analysis zones (TAZ), 1007 and 1010, consuming approximately 25% of TAZ 1007 and 65% of TAZ 1010. Please see Figure 2 for the TAZs in the area and Table 1 for the current and forecasted demographics. Figure 2 In June 2011, the adjacent remaining sections of TAZ 1007 and 1010, about 80 acres, were part of an annexation and rezone request to C-G for the City of Meridian. The following tables summarize the existing and forecasted demographics for the two primary TAZs. As shown, the 2035 population and household forecasts cover a portion of the proposed development. The proposal includes up to 1,034 residential units - townhomes, duplexes and multi-family-therefore, a lower person per household rate of 2.20 was used. This proposed development also includes over 1.8 million square feet of non- residential uses including office, retail and restaurant. This could translate into over 4,500 jobs depending on the amount of "useable" space and average number of employees per 1000 square feet.

Access Management The key access management issue is the project's central {ocation and cross access with other parcels. An access point to Ten Mile Road has been determined and partially constructed with the recent interchange improvements. These properties and future projects will rely on interconnections through each other for robust development patterns, including a collector and local access road network, bicycle and pedestrian networks, and accommodations for freight and. transit. Sites designed with consideration of these networks and access management and driveway standards will prove to be safe, efflctent, and of enduring value. The area plan includes part of a future bicycle/pedestrian connection adjacent to the existing canal through the Janicek property. Mobility Management The Mobility Management Development Guidebook supports mixed use development and a mix of housing options. The development also identifies a transit supportive density (more than 7 dwelling units per acre). The project is not located within a quarter mile of an extsting transit stop or park-and-Mde facility. Commercial retail development can be a compatible use for park-and-ride facilities, especially when located near accessible Interchanges on major corridors. Consider future park-and-ride facilities with proposed project -annexation and zoning. Valley Regional Transit has developed a transit plan titled VaileyConnect, which establishes a vision for future transit system needs based on short-term growth projections, regional and local land uses, and roadway plans. This plan will help guide future transit investments. The plan includes a potential future flex-:route service for the project area. A park and ride facility is also identified as a future facility investment in the Ten Mile- I-84 area. The project is located in proximity to potential alignments for a high capacity corridor based on the Treasure Valley High Capacity Study conducted by COMPASS in 2009.

Nearly every high school, middle school, and elementary school throughout the district is operating at or over capacity. Approval of the Ten Mile Crossing Subdivision will have an impact on school enrollment at Ustick Elementary School, Lake Hazel Middle School and Mountain View High School in Joint School District No. 2. Based on U.S. census data, we can predict that these homes, when completed, will house 42 school aged children. Joint School District No. 2 supports economic growth. However, growth fosters the need for additional school capacity. Revenue support from developers of new residential subdivisions is required for the purchase of the school sites necessary to serve the proposed subdivision. Joint School District No.2 estimates the revenue required for the purchase of future school sites is $830.00 per new home unit. The approval of Ten Mile Crossing Subdivision will create the need for $43,160.00 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 school sites. Such sites will 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. Joint School District No. 2 is currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact on the district's capacity.
