RE: SUP -15-04 HANSEN BILLBOARDS
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has reviewed the referenced special use application for Hansen's
Billboards located at the southwest corner of Linden Street and Aviation Way north of I-84. ITD has the
following comments and requirements:
1. ITD has no objection to this application.
2. The project is not requesting access to I-84 and none is approved with this application.
3. Idaho Code 40-1910(1) states no advertising display shall be placed or maintained within the
right-of-way of any highway.
4. The State of Idaho has comprehensive rules governing outdoor advertising, including a limitation
that signs not "dazzle or blind" drivers. The current trend toward high intensity signs has caused
an increasing number of driver complaints on urban segments of the State Highway System. The
applicant must contact Lana Servatius at (208)334-8343 or Shona Tonkin at (208)334-8341 for a
permit application.
If you have any questions, you may contact Shona Tonkin at 334-8341 or me at 332-7191.
Sincerely,
James K. Morrison
Development Services Manager
