F� 1- r To: Caldwell City Mayor and Council Members RE: CASE NUMBER ANN-19-07 A Darrell Sibert 316 Amber Street Caldwell, Idaho October 15, 2019 In compliance with written opposition to the above referenced case I am submitting the following documents and supporting property resident signatures. I pray that you will take the time and effort to read said documents. Sincerely, Darrell Sibert CASE NUMBER ANN-19-07 OPPOSE A subdivision of this size needs to accommodate all the necessities for that property. It should never burden the existing properties nor residents surrounding it! R 3 ZONING Surrounding the proposed subdivision property to the North, East, and West are all R-1 properties! South lies irrigated agriculture and an R-1 rural home. There is an R-3 facility at the corner of Amber Street and 1 Oth Ave. This facility is now a day-care. It was formally a R-1 home in the Higer Subdivision. The exterior did not change but the interior was remodeled to facilitate the new owners needs. We believe that in any circumstances the subject property in question designated R-3 does not fit within the parameters of the surrounding existing properties! SUBDIVISION POPULATION The number of living units in the proposed subdivision is listed as 40. The units will have 3 bedrooms. That indicates at least 3 occupants per unit. However, the average family size is 4. Therefore, the number of inhabitants range from 120 to 1601 This averages 48 to 64 persons per acre. Conversely, the surrounding properties inhabitants (4 per unit) number 12 to 16 per acre. This will be a huge saturation of inhabitants in a very small area! Consequently, affecting the tranquilly and security of the existing properties surrounding it. With regards to security a similar subdivision, built by Blake Wolf, located on North Middleton Road, has no security lighting. A renter related that twice they had prowlers and had to call the Middleton police. But the renters could not identify any one because of a lack of exterior security lighting. PARKING The July 15, 2019 letter from Blake Wolf to the City of Caldwell states that the property design will have a total of 73 parking stalls or 1.8 stalls per unit. What if some renters have more than two vehicles where will they park? At even 80 parking stalls (2.0/unit) there would not be enough to support any visitors or guests. That leaves three parking options; loth Ave; the proposed major ingress and egress street between Amber Street and subject property and Amber Street itself. None of these options are viable! They put a burden and security risk on the surrounding property owners! TRAFFIC There are approximately 56 vehicles located at the residents on Amber Street between South Kimball Ave. and loth Ave. Amber Street is also a pass-thru street between these same streets. Add another 80+ vehicles from the subject property subdivision to this street and you have a major traffic problem added by noise and the worries of the property owners on Amber Street. This same problem relates to the East side of loth Ave on Easy Street and Brian Ave. These streets are used as a pass-thru street between Ustick Road and 1 Oth Ave and vice -versa. This directly relates to the conceptual layout located on the southeast corner of the subject property stated as a right out only. This auows a vehicle to cut across 1 Oth A onto Easy Street to avoid the intersection at 1 Oth Ave and Ustick Road. Also, if traffic is held up at the stop sign at I01h Ave and Amber Street, vehicles going east on Amber Street could use the major ingress street off Amber Street into the subject property. Then they could drive through the complex and exit out onto 1 Oth Ave at the right turn only on the southeast corner of subject property. Creating a one-way pass-thru street. A problem for the subdivision created by itself. COMMON AREA AND PLAYGOUND There are nonell EXISTING FLOOD IRRIGATION Pioneer Irrigation provides water at the 3-way gates located on South Kimball Ave. Water is diverted south down South Kimball Ave.; north on South Kimball Ave. and east behind the properties on Amber Street. This last ditch lies on the subject property and the property owner due west of subject property. This ditch is currently partially covered. There is an established utility easement in place that provides access to the irrigation ditch, power, telephone and cable lines. The conceptual plan does not take that into consideration. This ditch provides water to properties east of 10', Ave.; Amber Street, Easy Street, Brian Ave., several properties south of Easy Street on 1 Oth Ave, north on 1Oth Ave including the Caldwell Bus Company and the subdivision north of Jefferson Middle School. Water flowing north on South Kimball Ave. is diverted east down Amber Street, Albert Street, Marvin Street and flows on north down South Kimball Ave. to several more properties. Water flowing down Amber Street eventually flows to the end of the ditch at the day care property. This ditch would have to be reconfigured to allow irrigation to the end of ditch property and drain back into the tiled ditch on the subject property. Water flowing south from the gates goes to properties on South Kimball Ave., Kurt Lane, and irrigated agricultural and the rural R-1 residence south of the subject property all the way to Ustick Road. Water is generally shut down by October 15tb and turned back on Aprill5th. Construction on the irrigation system not done in the off season would create a major hardship for a multitude of property owners.
