Re: Adams Ridge Preliminary Plat 12 Month Time Extension
Dear Ms. Collins,
We are currently under construction on phase 7 of Adams Ridge. Per City Code, the phases of a
Preliminary Plat must be recorded within 12 months of the recordation of the previous phase. Phase 6
of Adams Ridge was previously recorded in January 27, 2023. Because of plan construction delays
(detailed below) we will miss the January 27, 2024 deadline for recording Phase 7 and thus are
requesting Approval of a 12-month Time Extension of our Adams Ridge Preliminary Plat.
Reasons for the Time Extension:
We began engineering design work on Phase 7 of Adams Ridge well before the previous Phase 6 was
even completed. After working through plan review comments with the City we were able to start
construction on Phase 7 in July 2023. While we were tracking for a December 2023 completion for the
phase, we hit a number of roadblocks starting in the summer and fall that significantly affected our
project schedule. Our primary contractors in Adams Ridge and valley-wide experienced over-stretched
work load combined with material and labor restrictions leading to consistent delays in the project.
Thankfully the contractors have now worked through their labor and material struggles and are finishing
the pipe work for the project and joint-trench work will begin soon. By the time the concrete and road
crews start their portion of the job, the winter weather will have set in and the asphalt plants will be
closed for the season. Because of this, we will highly likely miss our window for road paving and the
opportunity to record the plat before January 2024. Typically, the asphalt plants will re-open in April
when the weather warms up. We anticipate resuming construction operations and anticipate recording
the Phase 7 plat by May/June 2022.
We hope you all consider approval of this time extension for the Adams Ridge Preliminary Plat because
of these contractor delay issues outside of our power and influence. These delays by the contractors are
valley-wide and unfortunately a high number of communities will be delayed and miss their ability of
pave in 2023.
This request complied with Chapter 11-02-03(1)F of Caldwell City Code.
Thanks,
Patrick
