Below are our comments: 1. The term "single-family residential lots" needs to include both detached and attached lots for duplexes and townhouses. Below are the definitions from the code. The term single-family residential lot is not defined. To avoid confusion that section M applies only to single-family detached lots, we recommend replacing "single-family residential lots" with "single-family attached and detached lots." 2. From my experience, I cannot recall a code restriction with an odd number. An even number is always chosen. We recommend that you change 3 lots to 4 lots to be served by a common driveway. However, we would like to hear an explanation about the issues with fire, addressing, and planning that motivate the reduction from 6 as stated in the current code. 3. Lastly, the definition of Single-Family Attached states a unit is "attached on one side only." The statement describes a duplex and not a townhouse that can be attached on two sides unless the townhouse unit is an end unit. We recommend you revise the definition to delete the phrase "on one side only." Definitions 10-03-11 DWELLING, FOUR-, FIVE- OR SIX-FAMILY: A building containing four (4), five (5) or six (6) single- family dwelling units totally separated from each other by a nonpenetrated wall extending from basement to roof.

DWELLING, SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED: A one-family dwelling that is not attached to any other dwelling by any means and shall have only one address and one water meter. DWELLING, THREE-FAMILY: A building containing three (3) single-family dwelling units totally separated from each other by a nonpenetrated wall extending from basement to roof (3 units on 1 lot or parcel - triplex). Each dwelling unit shall have its own address and its own water meter.

We have identified several proposed revisions to the Common Driveway section and the PUD Development Standard "M" and will submit an ordinance revision which I hope to present to the Planning and Zoning Commission on November 16 and be able to get it to council in December. Common driveways will be allowed to serve up to three(3) units that do not front a public street and the council will have an option to require sidewalks on one side of the street (currently can serve up to six but that has been problematic for fire, addressing and planning). And proposing the following for PUDs: M. Access: All lots developed as single-family residential lots for residential purposes shall front or shall have frontage along a public roadway or common driveway. All other lots developed for residential purposes shall front a public roadway, or shall utilize common driveways as regulated by Caldwell City Code Section 11-03-02, or shall comply with Caldwell City Code Section 11-14-01. 2 Idaho Statutes Idaho Statutes are updated to the web July 1 following the legislative session.
