Combo 1/rceChairmarr Re: ANNEX / PRE PLAT o District 6 Location: US 20/26 & Midland Blvd. John McHugh Route: US 20/26 District 1 Name: White Pine Station Sub (Landmark Engineering, Applicant) Bruce st:eenoy Case: ANN-107-05 & SUB-131 P-05 District 2 Dear Ms. Hernandez: Monte McClure District 3 The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Gary Blick above referenced application. Per the city's December 13 notice (dated November 2, District a 2005) regarding the applicant's request for the annexation of 195.47 (69.5 as Single Family Neil M.1ler Residential; 30.47 as Community Commercial and 95.5 acres as Single Family Residential) District 5 and preliminary plat approval for the property located on Highway 20/26 and Midland Blvd. ITD asks the City of Caldwell to consider the following as conditions of approval: David Ekern, P.E. Director General Comments: o ITD and COMPASS have begun a corridor preservation project on US-20/26 to be Sue Higgins prepared for future widening needs on this corridor. Boar�Secrerary o This property is located adjacent to US-20126. This segment of US-20/26 is a regionally significant Principal Arterial. o Access management on this highway is implemented through the ITD Access Control Policy. This segment of US-20/26 is designated as Type IV. o Access to the state highway will be allowed only at the half -mile point between Midland Avenue and Middleton Rd. ITD recommends that a north -south Collector route be planned at this location. o The applicant has requested annexation and a significant change in the type and intensity of use for the referenced property. We ask City of Caldwell to consider the following as conditions of approval of the annexation: o No direct access allowed to US 20/26. o Prior to preliminary plat design, the developer should propose a circulation system that accommodates future traffic in and through the applicant's property. This system should be reviewed and approved by the City and ITD before detailed site design is done. The system should show a frontage or backage road that serves as a parallel collector road to US 20/26. The system should provide connectivity to all adjacent parcels. 1ph . 'j r�' Connectivity. o The site design for White Pine Station Subdivision should be revised to show a stub or curb cuts to access the following parcels to provide for future connectivity. • From Skyway Rd. to the two parcels in the triangle piece of land located adjacent to the southern portion of the development (on the East side of the railroad tracks); and • From Bear Patch Ct. to the triangle parcel located between US-20/26 and the northern portion of the development (on the West side of the railroad tracks). Setbacks. The future highway widening for a four lane divided highway will require a 200' right of way. We will need to shift the highway to the south in this area to avoid the high voltage power line. ITD requests the City condition the annexation on a setback of 200 feet, measured from the northerly existing right of way line to accommodate the future widening. Noise Abatement for Residential Development. Should the development include residential buildings, along the state highway, please require the following: 1. The applicant shall provide traffic noise abatement by constructing a berm or a berm and wall combination approximately parallel to the state highway and off the state right of way. 2. The top of the berm, or berm and wall in combination, shall be a minimum of ten feet higher than the elevation at the centerline of the state highway. 3. If a wall is proposed, the wall shall meet the following standards: a. Wall materials shall be impervious concrete or stucco, unless otherwise approved by the Idaho Transportation Department as a sound attenuating material. b. Intermittent breaks in the berm or berm and wall in combination will degrade the function and should not be allowed. 4. Alternative noise abatement designs that meet Federal Highway Administration guidelines may be proposed by the developer. The applicant should contact Greg Vitley, Environmental Section Manager. Traffic Impact Study. The applicant should complete a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) to determine development impacts to the State Highway. ITD may require improvements to the State Highway to mitigate for these impacts. Typical improvements may include: acceleration and deceleration lanes, center turn bays and/or intersection signalization. The TIS should be submitted to Kevin Sablan at the ITD letterhead address. Work on the State Highway. A permit will be required for any work on the highway. See contact below.

Traffic Impacts. The District is concerned about the impacts of the proposed development on the surrounding road network. In particular, the District is concerned about the impacts on the roadways and intersections of Hwy 20/26, Midland Road, and Linden. A traffic impact study should be required for the project to assess the impacts of development on the surround roads and streets and recommend mitigation measures. The development agreement should include a provision that the developer contribute a proportionate share, based on the volume of traffic contributed by the development, of the cost of any traffic mitigation (i.e. traffic signals and intersection improvements) at locations impact by this development that will be completed later. 2. Midland Road Frontage Improvements. A 40' right-of-way dedication along Midland Road is required. The frontage shall be improved to meeting the City of Caldwell's arterial street standard, except that surfacing depths shall meet the Highway District Standards. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this request. Please call me or Casey Bequeath, Director at 454-8135 if you have questions. Sincerely, GG� Timothy Ri ard, P.E.

ANN-107-051SUB-131P-05, (White Pine Station Subdivision) TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Note: Pioneer Irrigation District will not own and operate any commercial development. Please be advised there are delivery points in place for the property being proposed for development. Pioneer Irrigation District's main concern is that all water rights within the District be honored, and that access to irrigation water be provided to every parcel of land_ Delivery points for said property are gates 18,19 and the Korbisky Dump — Highline Canal. All existing easements, right-of-ways, and other means used to honor the water rights to downstream waterusers must be maintained and allowed to continue to exist. It is imperative that no one disrupt the delivery of water to a downstream water user. Any lateral, canal, drain or other means used to deliver water, along which there is a right-of-way or easement, must have the same kept clear of all obstructions at all times. No fences, structures, or other materials are allowed on any of the District's easements or right-of-ways AND they must be recorded on the final plat. The 100(Weymouth Lateral), 200(7.2 Lateral) have a 16 foot prescriptive use easement from top of bank, both sides. The Highline Canal has also has a 16 foot prescriptive use Easement from top of bank, both sides. Any discharge or run-off into a federal drain must meet the approval of Mr. John Caywaod of the Bureau of Reclamation. Pioneer irrigation District does not assume any responsibility for such an approval. His telephone number is 334-1463. Attention: Mason Creek Drain 010 foot easement —55 ft from center) The Maddens Spur Drain is a Pioneer Irrigation District drain (not BOR), which also has a 110 foot right of way, 55 feet from center on each side. 1.)'.07,,2005 17:39 FA.i 2084594491 PIONEER IRRIGATION dCALDWELL P Z 0 002/004 Please be advised that in order to satisfy the City of Caldwell and Canyon County requirements and IF it is the intent of the developer to put in a pressurized irrigation system and have Pioneer take over said system once the development is completed, the following steps are necessary: 9. Said system must be put in according to the current Standards and Specifications of Pioneer Irrigation District. 2. A Construction, Operation and Maintenance Agreement must be written up and recorded at the expense of the Developer and/or owner. All agreements must be reviewed by and approved by the District's Attorney, Scott Campbell, of Moffatt Thomas in Boise. The least expensive way to have an agreement drawn up which meets the needs of the District is by having Mr. Campbell himself draw it up. Otherwise there will be two attorney fees for said developer and/or owner to pay. Mr. Campbell may be a)ntacted at 345-2000. A deposit of $1000.00 must be paid to Moffatt Thomas to cover th,: attorney fees before the work can begin. Any unexpended portion of the deposit will be refunded. Pioneer Irrigation District will recommend disapproval of final plat approval until the necessary agreement has been executed and recorded. 3. The engineering fees will be the responsibility of the developer and/or owner, and a deposit must be paid in advance to Pioneer Irrigation District before the District will authorize Earl Mason & Stanfield to review engineering plans. Plans must be received by Pioneer Irrigation District by December 15th 2005. All construction which may impact district facilities must be completed prior to the March 15th 2006 deadline. The construction time -frame which Pioneer allows is November Vt of the current year to March 15th of the following year. Estimated costs for the District's engineering fees are $500 plus $5.00 per lot. If that amount fails to cover the costs involved due to the necessity to revise plat maps, etc., additional costs will be billed out and paid prior to the District's signing off on the final plat. 4. If it is the developers plan to have Pioneer Irrigation District take over a pressurized irrigation system for the subdivision, it will be necessary that the pump site be designed at the District's current point of delivery. Service to the subdivision from the pump site must have its own private delivery line from the delivery point to the subdivision. 5. The developer must contact the office of Earl Mason & Stanfield to make arrangements for on -site inspections to be made at various points of construction. An engineer from Earl Mason & Stanfield must be involved in the inspections as they are the engineers for Pioneer Irrigation District and are familiar with the requirements of Pioneer. 6. Earl Mason and Stanfield must walk through the site and develop a punch list to be completed prior to recommending that Pioneer Irrigation District take over the pressurized irrigation system. 1;r07/2005 17:39 FAX 208459449 PIONEER IRRIGATION CALDWELL P Z IM003/004 If it is NOT the intent of the developer to request Pioneer Irrigation District to take over a pressurized irrigation system within their completed development, then the above six steps do not apply to their Planned development. Any proposed development which will have downstream waterusers using gravity flow irrigation must develop their irrigation system in a manner which will insure the downstream waterusers the ability to acquire at least as much irrigation water for gravity flow irrigation as what they received prior to any development or construction taking place, The gravity flow irrigation system must be totally separate from the proposed pressurized irrigation system within a subdivision. Please be advised, the developer shall submit detailed drawings Of anY proposed relocations of Pioneer Irrigation District's facilities, prior to preliminary plat approval. Any said relocations are subject to approval from the Superintendent and/or the Board of Directors of Pioneer Irrigation District Any construction that impacts Waters of the United States may require obtaining a 404 permit from the Corp of Engineers. Greg Martinez of the Corp of Engineers can be contacted at 345-2154. Prior to finalization of any Agreements with Pioneer Irrigation District, Pioneer irrigation District must receive a copy of a 404 permit that has been properly executed. If it is determined by the Corp of Engineers that a 404 permit is not required, Pioneer Irrigation District must be notified in writing by the Corp of Engineers that said 404 permit is not required. NOTE: This letter does not authorize any construction to commence until all the necessary agreements with Pioneer Irrigation District have been executed and recorded. If you have any questions, please feel free to call. Sincerely, Mark F. Zirschk Assistant Superintendent Cc, Scott Campbell - Moffatt, Thomas, Barrett, Rock & Fields via fax 385-5354
