OF TWO -HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SIX (266) RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND TWENTY-SIX (26) COMMON
LOTS FOR MIDLAND MEADOWS SUBDIVISION. MIDLAND MEADOWS IS PROPOSED TO BE
DEVELOPED IN THREE (3) PHASES. THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED ON THE NWC AND SWC OF
MIDLAND BOULEVARD AND LINCOLN ROAD IN CALDWELL, IDAHO. THE PLANNING AND
ZONING COMMISSION ON APRIL 12, 2023 RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL OF ALL
APPLICATIONS)
The Mayor opened the public hearing and noted it was continued from June 6 and July 5. He outlined the public
hearing procedures.
Katie Wright, Planning & Zoning Department located at 621 Cleveland Blvd, provided the staff report by outlining
the contents of the staff report. The applicant is proposing a rezone and change to the comprehensive plan map from
R-1 (Single-family Residential) to R-2 (Medium -density Residential). The request also includes approval of the
preliminary plat with 266 single-family lots on approximately 39.21 acres. The lots to the north are larger than those
in the southern portion of the parcel. The City Code requires six -permit open space; the applicant is providing ten -
percent open space. The request meets all of the requirements for landscaping, land -use separation, and parking
requirements. Elevations ofthe proposed housing designs were presented.
She explained that the application was heard by the Planning & Zoning Commission on April 12, 2023. The applicant
was instructed to provide an updated traffic study to Idaho Transportation Department and to the Canyon Highway
District No. 4. The developer complied with that requirement and comments were received by both agencies. Such
agency comments were provided to the Council Members this evening as late exhibits.
Agencies that expressed concern with the request were Franklin Ditch Company, Canyon County Highway District
No. 4 and Vallivue School District. The developer has made contact with Canyon County Highway District No. 4
and the Vallivue School District regarding matters of concern. A letter was also received from Sunrock regarding
the need for an adequate buffer between the two land uses. A required buffer has been included within the conditions
of approval.
Staff finds that the request is in compliance with the Caldwell City Code and is in conformance with the
comprehensive plan inasmuch as it aligns with eight goals and ten policies. The Planning & Zoning Commission
recommended approval of all four applications. If the request is approved, staff recommends inclusion of the
conditions as specified within the Order of Decision.
Robb MacDonald, Public Works Director, provided a map indicating the areas allocated for infrastructure for the
development. The applicant would be required to extend water lines from Lincoln Road and Midland Road to the
site. He noted that there is an existing network water system within the development that ties to a well at the site.
Sewer trunk lines would also be constructed by the developer. Sewer trunk lines would also be provided by the
developer. The developer would be required to improve their frontage on Midland Boulevard, which is classified
as a minor arterial (half -street improvement from north to south) and expand Lincoln Road to full minor arterial
standard.
Mr. MacDonald noted that the traffic study revealed areas of concern outside of the project area: Middleton
Road/Lincoln Road and Middleton/Hwy. 20/26. He recommended that a north bound and south bound left & right
turn lane on Middleton Road at Lincoln Road be required, which would assist with the traffic flow. This intersection
has already been selected for construction of a future roundabout. The access at Midland and Hwy. 20/26 is also
critical; however, with ITD proposing to start construction between Middleton Road and Star Road in 2024, the
proposed development should be on schedule with the upcoming improvements planned by ITD for a traffic signal
at that location.
PAGE 131
In response to questions from Mayor Wagoner, Mr. MacDonald clarified that the total amount of water lines would
amount to approximately two miles in major roadways, not including the internal infrastructure. The developer would
be installing such groundwork at their expense.
In response to questions from Councilor Stadick, Mr. MacDonald noted that his recommendations regarding traffic
turn lanes were not included in the staff report. He requested such recommendations be included in the final motion
by Council, if approved.
Ms. Wright reported that the letters from ITD and Canyon County Highway District No. 4 were forwarded to the
Engineering Department. It was determined by Engineering Department staff that their comments would not be
affected by the additional agency information. The language regarding the monetary agreement with Val livue School
District was included in the staff report.
Councilor Doty addressed the proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan, thus allowing additional housing.
He asked for clarification from Ms. MacDonald on the pros and cons of such a request.
Mr. MacDonald noted all master plans are based on the current comprehensive plan; thus, development plans in some
way affect the city's infrastructure. Revisions to the transportation plan are currently being worked on by Kittleton
Associates on behalf of the City of Caldwell. From a traffic standpoint, the consultants are viewing the subject
area as low density. The difference between low density and medium density is a calculation of approximately 25
percent more vehicle trips.
Councilor Williams commented on the impact that the development would potentially have on traffic within the area.
Jon Breckon, Applicant at 6661 North Glenwood Street, Garden City, spoke in favor of the request by use of a
PowerPoint presentation. He reported that an agreement was reached with the Vallivue School District regarding a
donation of $1,000 per lot. The average minimum lot size was 7,870 sq. ft., which exceeds the required lot size for
the R-2 zoning classification. Lots range in size from 6,000 sq. ft. to 12,000 sq. ft.
In response to questions from Mayor Wagoner, Mr. Breckon clarified that the development is strictly for single-
family homes with no multi -family residences being included within the subdivision preliminary plat. He noted that
there were no plans for the vacant field located west of the subject site. Infrastructure improvements on Lincoln
Road would take place on the section associated with the development.
In response to questions from Councilor Allgood, Mr. Breckon stated that he could not provide statistics this evening
regarding the amount of larger vs. smaller lots beyond what was indicated on the plat map. He noted that 2,000 sq.
ft. lots were located north of Lincoln Road. Phase I construction was planned to commence next year and would be
coordinated with the ITD roadway improvements for the area.
Councilor Stadick expressed his concern with the proposed development affecting the Vallivue School District with
students from the housing development attending schools. The $1,000 donation by the applicant would not cover
the potential costs incurred by the Vallivue School District to provide educational services.
Robert Kafka, 20593 Midland Boulevard, spoke in opposition to the request. He noted concerns regarding
infrastructure (sewerwate0irrigation), traffic congestion along Hwy. 20/26 and Midland Boulevard, coordination of
the development with the ITD infrastructure improvements on Hwy. 20/26; and the fact that construction would leave
piles of dirt and weeds for the public view rather than agriculture.
In rebuttal, Mr. Breckon addressed the comments made by Mr. Kafka:
The site will comply with all municipal irrigation standards. The current irrigation system operated by Mr. Kafka
would not be disturbed. A pressurized irrigation system would be installed for the proposed development.
The construction schedule would not lend to allowing dirt and weeds to be on site for a lengthy period.
Traffic issues have been discussed and resolved with staff from the City of Caldwell, ITD, and Canyon County
Hwy. District No. 4.
The developer has contributed $150,000 for offsite traffic mitigation improvements per the Ca City Code.
Plans include the construction schedule to coordinate with the ITD improvement timetable.
The development would comply with the Public Works Director's recommendation for turn lanes per the public
testimony.
In response to questions from Councilor Williams, Mr. MacDonald clarified that the irrigation plan would be
reviewed by City staff and must meet the requirements as defined within City Code.
In response to questions from Mayor Wagoner, Mr. Breckon reported that a buffer could be provided between the
development and the parcel owned by Mr. Kafka, ifrequired.
In response to questions from Councilor Allgood, Mr. Breckon reported that there would be a walking path within
the development.

COMMENTS:
Councilor Register inquired about the ability of the developer to place multi -family housing (duplexes) within the
development at a future time.
Ms. Collins, Planning & Zoning Director, reported that duplexes are outright allowed use within the requested zone;
however, the plat only indicates single-family residential homes within the development. If the plat were to change,
such a request must return to City Council for consideration. The Development Agreement can include a condition
to insure only single-family residences for allowed. Such a restriction would stay with the land.
In response to questions from Councilor Allgood, it was confirmed that the subject parcel is contiguous to the
Caldwell City Limits.
Councilor Williams noted that City staff is currently working on a review of the Comprehensive Plan and it would
be best (during the interim period) for the subject property to remain with the R-1 (Single-family Residential) zoning
classification. He also referenced traffic concerns associated with the surrounding area.
In response to questions from Councilor Allgood regarding the ITD project on Hwy. 20/26, Mr. MacDonald
recommended that a condition be added regarding phasing of the development in correlation with completion of the
ITD project.

ACTION ITEM: PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PURPOSE OF INCREASES TO THE DEVELOPMENT
IMPACT FEES ABOVE 5% OF THAT PREVIOUSLY CHARGED)
Brent Orton, Public Works Director at 411 Blaine Street, presented the staff report and outlined the proposed impact
fee changes.
Rob Pilote, Chairman of the Impact Advisory Committee, 2805 Willow Falls, indicated that he is not in opposition
with enforcement of impact fees or the proposed increase as presented tonight by Mr. Orton. He expressed concern;
however, with the ongoing need of affordable housing within the community and the effect that impact fees have on
the local housing industry. He noted that the proposed impact fee resolution was not thoroughly vetted by the Impact
BOOK 64 PAGE 135
Advisory Committee. He noted that he is hopeful in the future for clear communication with the committee regarding
such proposals.
Mr. Pilote continued regarding the inclusion of the pool within the capital improvement plan. He recommended that, due to the unavailability of the pool's use for the past few years, the pool should be removed from the capital
improvement plan at this time. He recommended approval ofthe Fire & Police fees as outlined, but remove the Parks
proposed impact fee until the capital improvement plan is reviewed.
Mr. Orton confirmed that the proposed Parks Impact Fee does not include the municipal pool calculation within the
capital improvement plan. He recommended that an impact fee master plan be created and presented to the Impact
Fee Advisory Committee in association with the capital improvement plan.
In response to questions from Councilor Doty, Mr. Orton confirmed that the pool calculation was excluded from the
impact fee calculation tonight.
Councilor Stadick expressed concern regarding the need for routine review of the impact fees by the Impact Fee
Advisory Committee and appropriate City staff members.
Mr. Orton responded that the impact fees have been updated and are in compliance with the current capital
improvement plan. Park impact fee calculations are usually based on number of acres acquired and Police & Fire are
based on appropriate matrix calculations. He noted that the Finance Director is in the process of compiling the master
plan. Such planning efforts followed by recommended impact fees would be an appropriate method.
Discussion followed regarding the need for a routine review of impact fees. This responsibility has been assigned to
the Finance Director. A meeting will be scheduled before October 1, 2023.
Councilor Stadick emphasized that the City of Nampa's growth statistics should not be compared with Caldwell's
growth rates as it relates to the impact fees.
In response to questions from Councilor Doty, Mr. Orton reported that a new bid document for the municipal pool
has been issued.
Mr. Pilote retracted his prior recommendation concerning the removal of the Parks Impact Fee within the resolution
based on the new information presented by Mr. Orton about grand total not including the swimming pool calculation.
The resolution with all three recommendation (Parks/Fire/Police) should be considered by Council this evening.
Mr. Orton clarified that:
1) The FY-2024 proposed budget does include the pool construction project.
2) The pool project has again gone out to bid.
3) Impact fees can only be used for new construction.
4) Construction of the bath house at the pool site would qualify for potential use of impact fees.
5) Maintenance issues involving public facilities are accomplished through use of property tax revenue.
