Case No. ANN-38-00
Annexation Request for 98.166 acres
August 16,2000
The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposed annexation and corresponding zoning designations
for the referenced application and provides the following comments:
l. The Engineering Department does not oppose the Annexation and the sewer and water systems are
capable of providing service to the area. The end of existing facilities is approximately I l/2 miles
from the Annexation site, but the City will soon extend Iines within I mile of the site.
2. The development area is 5,750 ft in right angle distance from the nearest Airport runway. This means
that the site does not lie within the low-level glide path at either end of the runway. The fly-in and fly-
out rotations do track over the site, but aircraft elevations should be high enough to attenuate noise
effects substantially and permit the proposed zoning designations contemplated in the application.
3. The Airport Master Plan includes extension of the existing runway and the servicing of larger Aircraft
than presently use the Airport. The experience at other Airports is that most people would not object to
the noises expected at this site. Some overly sensitive residents however can create havoc and legal
battles that must be guarded against. The Engineering Department recommends passive measures to
limit residents ability to challenge existing and planned uses at the Airport. This may take the form of
Avigation easements or deed restrictions and the Engineering Department invites input from the
developers on ways and means of protecting the Airport from these nuisance complaints.
4. This area is experiencing rapid and expansive growth. Accordingly, the City of Caldwell will need
another municipal well for domestic water supply. The developer(s) will be approached during the
preliminary plat process regarding the purchase of a municipal well lot.
