Conditional Use Checklist (ACC 8-5B)

June 29, 2020 Ada County Development Services 200 W. Front Street Boise, Idaho 83702 Re: Master Plan, Conditional Use, and Modification to the Ada County Oregon Trail Recreation Area. To whom it may concern, In 2002 Ada County was awarded a $300,000 grant from Idaho Transportation Department to purchase land and easements to protect remnants of Oregon Trail between Highway 21 and Bonneville Point. After successfully obtaining and protecting several sections of Oregon Trail, Ada County was granted $348,000 from Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation and $80,000 from Simplot to construct a paved parking lot and informational kiosks at the current location of the Oregon Trail Recreation area off Highway 21. This Master Plan and Conditional Use application is documentation of the work that has previously been performed under other agreements and includes the addition of a pit vault toilet that was included in previous planning efforts. The Ada County Oregon Trail Recreation area encompasses 24.94 acres of Ada County land, off Highway 21, 14 acres of Ada County property off East Columbia Road and S. Wagons View Ave, 350 acres of BLM land, and trail license agreement on Simplot Corporation for a total of 5 miles of non-motorized trail. The planning effort to develop the recreation area began in earnest in 2008. Although all the necessary steps to complete the masterplan were undertaken, a formal submittal for the master planning process wasn’t completed. In July of 2008, the State of Idaho Department of Transportation provide a quick claim deed to Ada County for the 24.94 areas where the entrance road, parking lot and main Oregon Trail Recreation Area kiosks now exist. The quitclaim deed and survey information can be found in appendix 2. The Oregon Trail Recreation Area parking lot and kiosk was approved in March of 2010 (building permit #1000222 Oregon Trail Trailhead) and is included in Appendix 2. The Ada County Board of Commissioners approved the Oregon Trail Kiosk Grant Application (Grant No. 0907-A) as recorded in the January 27, 2009 BOCC minutes. The Recreation area is open during day light hours and is gated at sunset with a gate on the inbound lane and a one way traffic spikes for the parks outbound lane. A recent survey shows the park is used by hikers, runners, bikers, dog walkers, equestrians and those interested in Oregon Trail history. It’s estimated that 30 to 100 people visit the area each day.

The master plan most of which has already been completed included:

• A parking lot with 32 spaces for general vehicles, 12 pull through spaces for buses and truck and trailer, and 4 handicapped van accessible spots;

• An information kiosk area in the shape of prairie schooner/pioneer wagon;

• Columnar rock columns as a back drop;

• Six large information panels on early day Oregon Trail travelers and local history;

• Two large kiosks for trail maps and recreation area rules;

• Two smaller kiosks just off the parking lot with maps showing the Oregon Trail route from Boise to Glens Ferry with some of the historic locations along the way.

• 5-miles of non-motorized trail;

• 2’ post on the east side of the road to prevent motorized vehicles from entering the recreation area;

• Split rail fencing with rock columns surrounding the parking lot and entrance way;

• A 180 square foot ADA pit toilet;

Ada County Parks & Waterways is requesting approval of the Master Plan and Conditional Use permit to continue to carry out the items listed in the original planning done for the Oregon Trail Recreation area. This includes continuing the development of trails, replacement/updating kiosk information, adding additional kiosks along old sections of Oregon Trail at the Ada County property off Columbia Road and Wagons View, and installation of an ADA pit toilet identified in the plan.

b. Change Order No. 3, Benjamin Campus Phase I (increase $36,227.34)

I

D. Logan stated that this was the last Change Order for this project and the project was being closed out. It includes data and power for systems furniture that was added to the project. They also installed recessed mailboxes and

exterior signage to the building with electric run to it. As well, emergency power for lights was added. They completely changed the way they planned to wire exit lights. They wanted to wire the lights so they could be tested every once in a while without shutting the whole building down. They found out they could not do that, so they changed the wiring. This Change Order of $36,227.34 is within budget. He anticipated closing the project out by the end of the month.

S. Ullman inquired if the insulation was already in place. D. Logan answered that it was within the walls and had a big one-foot false wall along the section. Once they tore into it, they found out the first eight feet had insulation but the rest had none.

Tab 3 Natural Features Analysis

Tab 3a U.S Fish and Wildlife Service, National Wetlands Inventory

Tab 3a Oregon Trail Hydrology and Wetlands

The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service data map shows there are no wetlands or waterways within the

Oregon Trail Recreation Area.

Tab 3b National Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey Maps

The soil survey provides data maps that inform users on soil conditions and how the related to

numerous activities. Since the Oregon Trail Recreation Area is primarily focused on recreation, habitat

and history. The NRCS interactive soil survey was used to look at soil rutting potential, suitability for

trails, erosion hazards, corrosive characteristics on cement (the effects on building materials). Most of

the site consists of either 38 – Chilcott-Sebree Complex, Bedrock Substratum, 2 to 4 percent slopes or 71

– Jenness fine Sandy Loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes. A small portion of the site is rock outcrop represted by

158 Rock Outcrop – Trevino Complex, 5 to 20 percent slopes.

Soil Rutting Hazard

The data revealed that 56% of the area within the Recreation Area has sever rutable soils types. These

soils include Chilcott silt loam and Chilcot-Sebree soils. These soils are known to rut with as little as 2 to

4% slopes. Any new trail development will need to incorporate numerous grade reversals and other

structures to keep water from running down the trail.

Soil Suitability for Trails.

Soil suitability is based on the soil properties that affect trafficability and erodibility. These include

stoniness, depth to water table, ponding, flooding, slope and texture of the surface layer. The data

reveals that 72% of the trails are somewhat limited to trail development and sustainability because the

Chilcott soil types break down and are dusty.

Erosion Hazards

This rating is based on the hazard of soil loss from trail-based activity based on slope, soil erosion factor

and an index of rainfall erosivity. Since the area is mostly flat with little rain fall, 73% of the area is only

slightly erodible. This rating indicates that erosion is unlikely under ordinary climate conditions.

However, there are some a couple of old roads and trails that are very steep which increases the

erodibility in these spots.

Erosion of Concrete

The soil data for concrete erosion looks at the potential of soil types to chemically or electrochemically

corrode or weaken concrete. The soil types in the Recreation Area are shown to have a low impact on

concrete building materials.

Tab 3c Topography

Topography maps have been provided for three separate regions of the Oregon Trail Recreation Area.

They are labeled East, Central and West. The area of the site where the vault toilet, parking lot trailhead,

and kiosks is located is generally flat with slopes less than 15%. The property generally drains in a

northwesterly direction. There are some portions of the site where the slopes exceed 15%.

Tab 3d-f Sensitive Plant, Wildlife and Natural Resources

The Idaho Department of Fish & Game does not have records of any special-status animals or plants

occurring within the proposed project. They do not anticipate the projects to have an adverse effect on

native plant or terrestrial wildlife populations.

Historic Resources

The Ada County Historic Sites Inventory shows the site is in the proximity to the Oregon Trail with wagon

ruts crossing through several areas. Trail ruts are visible in the recreation area and there are markers

highlighting the Oregon and Kelton trails through the area.

Hazardous Areas

Not Applicable.

Impact on Natural Features

The impact onto natural features will be minimal with majority of the recreation area is in the natural

state.

July 27, 2007 Travis Pitkin Compliance Archaeologist Idaho State Historical Society State Historic Preservation Office Statehouse Mail RE: SH-21: I-84 Diversion Dam, Stage 2 Project # STP-F-3291(28), Key # 2623 Travis, As you are aware, the Idaho Transportation Department constructed a bridge near Diversion Dam during the 1990s. As part of that project, ITD agreed to help develop an Oregon Trail Interpretive Site area located between the new bridge and I-84. Numerous correspondences between ITD and your office occurred, regarding both the construction of the new bridge and associated extension of SH-21, and the planning phase of this proposed interpretive site. Although the bridge and highway portions of the project were constructed, until now the Oregon Trail Interpretive Site area has never been developed. The MOA, entered into by numerous signatories, stipulated that ITD shall: Supervise Columbia Village Joint Venture (CVJV) in the planning and construction of an informational kiosk to be located near the parking lot that is planned and will be built on the south side of Highway 21, in Parcel G.

Recently, Ada County Parks and Waterways requested a land transfer from ITD so this Oregon Trail Interpretive Site can be constructed by them. ITD would like to approve this land transfer. After reviewing the project file documentation, it appears that the area proposed for the land exchange was surveyed during previous investigations. No historic properties were identified in the location of the proposed Oregon Trail Interpretive Site. The transfer of property for the development of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Site will proceed with Ada County Parks and Waterways assuming the following stipulations:

• SHPO is able to review, comment, and approve the nature of the interpretive site exhibits including the kiosks.

• SHPO will help develop the information contained in the interpretive site exhibits including the kiosks.

• Ada County will be responsible for the construction of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Site. There will be NO EFFECT to historic properties as a result of these project actions.
