Re: Case #ANN21-000019/PUD21-000006/SUB21-000051 Cougar Crossing
To Whom It May Concern:
The children within this property will attend the following schools:
• Skyway Elementary School and/or East Canyon Elementary School
. Summitvue Middle School
. Ridgevue High School
The proposal for Cou�ar Crossing falls within two Vallivue elementary attendance boundaries: Skyway
Elementary and East Canyon Elementary.
Skyway Elementary is projected to be overcapacity next year. Skyway can accommodate 800 students.
Currently, 784 students attend. A third portable building witl be delivered to the campus this summer
to accommodate growth. After that, there will not be enough space to add a fourth portable building
to accommodate growth. This is a significant concern as 16 developments are planned or in progress
within Skyway's attendance boundaries. This will bring in more than 4,000 new homes/apartments.
East Canyon Elementary can accommodate 625 students. As of last week's enrollment data, East
Canyon is serving 658 students. The campus does not have room for additional portable classrooms.
Typically, students would be shifted to attend other elementary schools, however, there is nowhere to
shift additionat students brought in by new housing as all the schools are overcapacity.
If Vallivue patrons vote to pass a bond to build new elementary schools, it is possible that they would
not open until the fall of 2025. If patrons do not approve a bond soon, then that would mean the
construction of elementary schools could be delayed until 2026 or 2027. This will exacerbate the
capacity challenges already felt at Vallivue's elementary schools.
We ask that you deny or postpone this request until a bond has passed for concurrent construction of
the subdivision and new elementary schools.
If this request is approved, we encoura�e the development of sidewalks and street lightin� to allow
for safe walking to school or the bus stop.
Sincerely,
''z� �

Re: ANN21-000021/PUD21-000006/SUB21-000051
Date: April 20, 2022
The Engineering Department provides the following comments on a request by Copernicus
Investments LLC and KCID Development LLC for an annexation of parcels R3524001000
& R3525100000 (approximately 11 acres) with a zoning designation of R2 (Medium
Density Residential). Concurrently a request for a Planned Unit Development and
Subdivision for Cougar Crossing, consisting of 88 single family townhomes. The
property is designated as Medium Density Residential in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
The subject property is located on the west side of S KCID Rd, approximately 2536 feet
north of Hwy 20/26.
*Due to the nature, complexity and many civil improvements required of multi-family land
development projects the Engineering Department recommends that this project be required to
complete the land development process in the same manner as a standard subdivision and that
said recommendation be made a condition of approval of this application.

Outparcel
1. 116 SKCID Road (R3524000000)
a. The appiicant shall complete the road widening improvements referenced in the
Street section, item 1, along the outparcels entire KCID Road frontage. Developer
shall provide an access point to/from this property to the developments internal
circulation roadway. Said new access point shall, at a minimum, meet the
requirements of an all-weather surface (COCSD R-810) and shall be of the same
width as the existing access point being closed.
Traffic Mitiqation
The following are the required traffic related mitigation measures for the Cougar Crossing
Subdivision resulting from the traffic impact study pursuant to City Code Chapter 10, Article 10.
A traffic impact study will be required for this development because of the volume of traffic
produced.
1. Provide a cross-access easement allowing use of approaches and cross-access of the site
by both onsite and adjacent development. This requirement shall be noted on the final plat.
2. Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho has computed the average trip length
in Canyon County to be 7.3 mi. Traffic impact mitigation should presumably occur at both
trip ends so 'h of the trip length should be attributed to each end. It is estimated that trips will
encounter a major intersection every half mile along any given path. The capacity of an
average fully improved intersection (assumed to be the intersection of a collector and an
arterial road) is estimated to be 5,080 vehicles/hour.
The estimated traffic resulting from the proposed density in this subdivision based on the
most current Traffic Impact Analysis sets the pm peak hour traffic flow at 68 vehicles for
the entire subdivision.
Following the City of Caldwell's mitigation equation ((68 veh/hr*7.3 mile/trip*0.5 trip
ends*2inter/mi) / (5080veh/hr)) the total contribution of this development to traffic
mitigation shall be 9.7% of a fully improved intersection. This percentage represents the
total capacity utilized from each intersection (once fully improved and possibly
signalized) encountered by trips generated over the development's half of the generated
trip length.
a) The owner/developer/applicant shall design and construct roughly 9.7% of the
signalization improvements needed for an average intersection, as defined, at one or
more nearby (within 3.5 miles of the site) deficient locations to be determined by
Engineering staff. The Engineering staff shall have reasonable discretion to determine
the sites of construction and what design and construction equals roughly 9.7% of the
signalization improvements needed for an average intersection. Engineering staff can
provide information about applications with whose mitigation efforts the
owner/developer/applicant can combine to achieve even units of 100%.

i) The owner/developer/applicant may be allowed, at his option, to contribute monies in
lieu of construction to the City of Caldwell Roadway Trust Fund, but the basis for the
obligation is for construction. Monetary contributions must be made at a level
commensurate with costs to construct the same by the City and as estimated by the
City. This alternate provision for payment of money is not a requirement, is for the
benefit and convenience of the owner/developer/applicant only and does not
constitute an Impact Fee.
iii) The average cost of intersection is estimated at $425,000 for procurement of
design services, construction, and associated costs by the City, of which 9,7% of that
cost is what needs to be covered by this subdivision.
Water
1. All on site water mains will need to be looped into existing mains for fire flow and water quality
purposes. Internal main sizing and construction plan approval, will be dependent upon the
availability of fire flow.
2. Each buildable lot shall be supplied with potable water. If buildings are constructed to include
individual units that could feasibly or will be sold separately, each unit shall be serviced
separately
3. The location of water service, including sizing of mains, providing of easements, frontage
construction, and offsite construction are to be decided during review of improvement plans.
This development will be required to comply with the Water Master Study.
SanitaN Sewer
1. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant's engineer to verify that connection to existing sewer
mainlines will not exceed the functional capacity of said mainlines. Provision for connectivity by
future developments shall be met in accordance with current City standards.
2. The Developer will be required (where applicable)to extend all sewer and water mainlines to the
center of adjacent roadways for connectivity by future developments. Locations of said
extensions will be decided during the review of the improvement plans.
3. Each buildable lot shall be provided with individual sewer service. If buildings are constructed to
include individual units that could feasibly or will be sold separately, each unit shall be serviced
separately.
4. Any easements for sewer lines not in the right-of-way should be at a width sufficient to construct
same and not less than 20 feet in width. Easements for adjacent sewer and water lines not in the
right-of-way shall be at a width sufficient to construct the same and shall be no less than 30 feet
in width.
5. A 20'wide all-weather surfaces may be required to be constructed over mainlines that fall outside
the public right-of-way. All weather surfaces shall be constructed sufficiently to support heavy
equipment necessary to construct and maintain sewer under all seasonal weather conditions.

Irriqation
1. Existing easements and/or right-of-ways for any irrigation facility shall be determined and
clearly indicated on the construction plans. Construction across or re-routing of these facilities
is subject to approval by the Pioneer Irrigation District and at their discretion or their assigns.
2. The Developer shall maintain any existing upstream drainage rights and downstream irrigation
rights across the property. During the design phase of this project, the developer or his
engineer is to contact the appropriate irrigation district to help ascertain these rights.
Appropriate facilities shall be provided by the developer to convey irrigation and drainage water
across the property to take care of these offsite needs. There is to be no discharge of
gravity/pressure irrigation return water into the projects storm water system.
2. The development is to include a non-potable water pressure irrigation system. The design of
this pressure irrigation system is to be reviewed and approved by the Caldwell Municipal
Irrigation District prior to construction plan approval. It shall be required that the system will be
operated and maintained by the Caldwell Municipal Irrigation District.
a) Applicant may be able to connect to the existing Topaz Ranch PI pump station if said
station and piping system is constructed in a manner that can handle the additional
acreage, Applicant receives approval from CMID to make said connection and
Applicant makes necessary upgrades and/or pays applicable buy-in fees.
3. Each lot, or building area, shall be provided with a pressure irrigation service in compliance with
Caldwell Municipal Irrigation District standards.
4. All pressure irrigation mainlines shall be located in the public right-of-way or within a public
utility easement, with a minimum width of 10 feet, centered over said mainlines as per current
City standards.
5. Applicant shall place the pump station in an area that is easily accessible with a recorded
perpetual easement sufficient for convenient access and maintenance of said pump station.
The lot shall be owned and maintained by the home owners association.
6. The applicant shall ensure that an adequate continuous irrigation supply flow is available to
meet the pressure irrigation system requirements of CMID.
7. The applicant shall transfer a proportionate share of any existing water right(s), except those
held in trust by an irrigation district, to the City of Caldwell for both irrigation and domestic water
supply for the subject development. If this should occur, The City shall assist in registering the
transfer.
8. The proposed development may utilize an existing pressure irrigation pump station with
approvals from Caldwell Municipal Irrigation District. Any upgrades to the pump station
necessary to supply the proposed development with pressurized irrigation water is the
responsibility of the Applicant. Should Applicant connect to an approved pump station they
shall supply the City of Caldwell with a water model of the whole pressurized irrigation system
showing that the system design meets all Caldwell Municipal Irrigation District standards.

9. All plans and construction drawings submitted to the City of Caldwell for review and approval
for any out-of-season irrigation work to be performed within or across facilities located within (or
owned by) irrigation districts other than CMID shall be submitted to the Caldwell Engineering
Department no later than August 15th. Submittal of plans after this date may result in Applicant
not receiving plan approval in time to complete out-of-season work.
Storm Drain
1. As noted previously, provision is to be made for the disposal of stormwater drainage in
accordance with the City Stormwater Management Manual and any updates adopted
subsequent to this application. It is to be noted that retention designs will be denied in most
instances. A copy of this policy is available upon request. The engineer of record is to provide
calculations, which indicate that the assumptions in his stormwater drainage plan comply with
the requirements of the stormwater manual. In this case, if a storm water system is existing, the
burden of proof is on the developer to verify the capacity is sufficient for the proposed
development.
2. The applicant shall identify and retain all historical drainage discharge points from the property
for the purpose of draining on-site storm water detention facilities.
3. Storm water detention basins are required to remain on-site and are to be operated and
maintained by the Home Owners Association/etc.
4. There is to be no discharge of storm water overflow into any irrigation water return/discharge
fa ci I ity/d itch/pi pe/etc.
Buildinq Permits
1. Prior to submission of building permits, public utilities and infrastructure must be completed or
an appropriate construction security provided. A 50%temporary restriction in the issuance of
building permits will be enforced until all utility construction has been completed, inspected,
tested, approved by the City and certified by the Applicants engineer; including completion all
punch list items.
2. Applicant shall submit an electronic(dwg.) copy of the project site plan suitable for mapping
and addressing purposes no later than 30 days prior to submission of the first building permit.
