9. PRELIMINARY PLAT AND DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND AND HISTORY:
The preliminary plat for Adam’s Ridge Subdivision was originally approved by City
Council on August 20, 2018 as SUB-18P-04. Two previous time extensions have been
approved, TE-20-22 and TE22-000001. The Phase 6 Final Plat was recorded on January
27, 2023 and the entitlements on the preliminary plat would expire if the final plat for
Phase 7 is not recorded by January 27, 2024.
10. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS AND GUIDING DOCUMENTS:
a. City of Caldwell Zoning Ordinance No. 1451, as amended
b. City of Caldwell Subdivision Ordinance, as amended
c. Idaho Code, Title 67, Chapter 65, Local Planning Act
11. REQUIRED FINDINGS & APPROVAL STANDARDS – Final Plat:
Caldwell City Code Section 11-02-03 (1) F outlines the Conclusions of Law for
approving a Time Extension. Before the council approves a final plat, the council must
find and conclude the following:
1. Time Extension is compliant with city codes.
2. The preliminary plat, as previously approved, is still in the best interests of the
safety, health and general welfare of the city.
3. There have been no significant changes to city code between the date of preliminary
plat approval and the application date of the time extension request that would
require substantial modifications to the lot layout.
4. Any modification to the layout and design of the originally approved preliminary plat
are minimal.
5. The preliminary plat still conforms with new or amended development master plans,
including, but not limited to: public facilities plans, pathways and bike routes plans,
parks and recreation master plans.
12. STAFF REVIEW AND ANALYSIS:
The time extension application requests a 12-month time extension due to valley wide material and labor constraints as well as weather related delays, however, the applicant anticipates being able to record the plat by late spring or early summer of 2024. The request is compliant with code and meets the required findings outlined
above. The proposed development is an allowed land use within the zone and complies with the intent and purpose of the zoning district.
13. CITY COUNCIL DECISION:
II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Regarding the request for a twelve-month time extension approval for Adam’s Ridge Subdivision Preliminary Plat,
TE23-000016, the City Council received and reviewed the record and finds and concludes the following:
The preliminary plat has not yet expired, and the time extension request is compliant with code requirements.

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
