Dear Angelica Gomez,
Project:
We are in the process to annexing our property over to the city of
Caldwell, currently we sit under the zone of Canyon County. We have our
own septic tank and water well however with this annexation into the city
of Caldwell we would be needing to connect to their sewage and water
plan. Once the annexation is completed, we have multiple options of
what we would like to do with the property since we would be planning
on splitting the property into A&B parcels it given approval by city. Both

Option:
A: Build a duplex in each property. Option
B: Build a single-family home on each property. Option

above that the city of Caldwell approves.
