Alex Jones, Associate Planner at 621 Cleveland Boulevard, outlined the contents of the staff report.
Elizabeth Koecheritz, 601 Bannock, Boise, Applicant's Representative, spoke in favor of the request, and outlined
the contents of a PowerPoint regarding the development.
In response to questions from Councilors Doty and Allgood regarding insufficient parking for the development, Ms.
Koecheritz reported that the plan exceeds the required number of parking spaces, including 471 parking spaces for
the 272 units. The code requires 443 spaces.
In response to concerns expressed by Councilor Allgood regarding traffic flow for the area, Ms. Koecheritz indicated
that the traffic study indicated no impact on the surrounding area She further explained the traffic flow in the
proposed development in connection with the neighboring Alante Homes development.
Justin Fishburn, 130 North 61' Street, Boise, spoke in support of the request. He noted that workforce housing will
assist the growth factor within Caldwell. The development does not create additional sprawl and is in compliance
with the zoning. He reported that communication has been held with Vallivue School District and other agencies.
He referenced a letter dated May 10, 2023 from Vallivue School District regarding the donation of S1000 per
dwelling unit for an estimated total of $272,000 to assist the district with mitigating the impact of new growth. In
response to questions from Councilor Stadick, Mr. Fishburn reported that the units would rent for market rate.
Gennie Fishburn, 22990 Huckleberry Lane, Middleton, spoke in favor of the project. She noted that this project
would help meet the need for housing in Caldwell. Research was conducted regarding multi -family vacancy rates
and the need for safe and appropriate housing in the community. She also stated that a Cooperative Agreement with
Alante Springs would be put in place regarding access issues after the annexation is approved, and that the
development complies with the Caldwell City Code and Comprehensive Plan.
In response to comments from Councilor Stadick, Ms. Fishburn that the units would not be available until
approximately 1 !,2 years from approval. Size of units would vary, making them affordable for workers, including
teachers. She also noted that there is currently a demand for housing for teachers.
Councilor Register expressed a concern regarding the number of additional multi -family developments already
approved within the subject area and with this development gaining access through the adjacent housing
development. In response, Ms. Fishburn clarified that there would only be emergency access for Lavender Crossing
within the Alante Springs Subdivision.
In response to questions from Councilor Allgood about the long-term management plan for the units. Ms. Fishburn
reported that the development has not been platted, therefore individual buildings cannot be sold off. A management
company will be contracted to manage the development. Councilor Allgood also noted that the updated interiors
will be appreciated by the community.
Brandon McDagald, 1100 West Idaho Street, Boise, signed in favor of the development.

USTOYINE PAGE 67
concerns of the residents within the area. She also mentioned potential overcrowding of the local schools and the
need to upgrade roadways surrounding the development.
Robert McDougal, 5111 Ormsby, spoke in opposition to the request. He expressed concerns regarding traffic
congestion along Laster due to the narrow roadway design for Laster. He also noted his concern regarding the lack
of sufficient parking. The pathway for the development abuts his property with only an existing 3-ft fence at the
site and requested a new fence to serve as a privacy barrier. He concluded with remarks about the long-term
management of the development.
In response to a question from Councilor Stadick regarding whether Mr. McDougal had attended the neighborhood
meeting and made the applicant aware of the fencing issue, Mr. McDougal responded that the fencing matter was
brought forward during the Planning & Zoning public hearing, but the developer has not offered a barrier or fence.
In rebuttal, Elizabeth Koecheritz, provided the following comments:
A six-foot fence will be installed for Mr. McDougal
The entire development would be under the supervision of a management company
She corrected previous comments regarding the traffic flow along Laster Lane
Additional spaces can be added to the plan.
Parking plan for the site would include cars registering with the management company and thereby limiting
the number of cars at the site.
The development team has worked with staff and agree with the conditions of approval given.
Councilor Stadick expressed his appreciation for the offer of fencing for Mr. McDougal, as well as communication
and negotiations with Vallivue School District.
Robb MacDonald provided an update regarding traffic projects within the City limits. Councilor Williams noted
that he continues to hear complaints from citizens about ongoing traffic congestion. He also expressed concern
regarding the exterior design of the units for this project, to which Ms. Koecheritz reported that the applicant is
willing to work with City staff regarding additional exterior design elements.
Councilor Register expressed her appreciation to the applicant for the changes in the development plan and their
consideration of comments from the local residents surrounding the subject site.
Robin Collins, Planning & Zoning Director at 621 Cleveland Boulevard, presented a letter from Brandi Hulme in
opposition to the request. Ms. Collins outlined the concerns expressed by Ms. Hulme regarding the height of the

the contract has been updated to include a recycling program for residents as a standard feature. The new project
rollout would be completed by April I, 2024. The Recycling Commodity value has been net negative for the past
five (5) years, but as it becomes positive, 80% of commodity proceeds would be returned in the form of a monthly
rebate to the City. He explained the advantages of use of the recycling carts and that senior and veterans discounts
would be available. In response to a question from Councilor Stadick, Mr. Orton clarified that there would be a cost
increase to the customer.
Rachele Klein of Republic Services spoke in support of the request. She noted that the senior and veteran discounts
will require an application process. She also provided information about the proposed rates and noted that there has
been a strong response to the recycling program.
In response to questions from Councilor Register, Ms. Klein reported that recycling would be embedded into the rate.
Every customer would be provided a recycling cart, though customers can opt out of the program.
Councilor Williams concurred with the need for such a program to assist with slowing down the filling of the Pickle
Butte Landfill. He expressed concern with the proposed rate increase and stated there is a strong need to educate the
public to understand the new system. He also raised the question of whether there is a possibility the City could
absorb the cost difference.
Ms. Klein reported that other communities have embraced the new recycling program. Once a land fill is full, the
next step is to rail transport the garbage, which is an expensive option. Messages can be sent to the customers
explaining the new program.
