Public agencies were notified and asked to provide comments, the only agencies that had concerns were:
Vallivue School District
Idaho Department of Transportation
Economic Development is in favor of the project due to the diversity of housing options and the mix of commercial to provide more services and jobs to this area.
Vallivue School District sent in two letters. The first was requesting denial based on…….., but after further discussion with Corey Barton, they have submitted a second letter that reflects
said discussion that will be touched on further by the applicant.
We received two public comments
Written comment was from John Bottles with Mark Bottles Real Estate Services.
This letter is in support of the development and states that their real estate firm has been working with many businesses that want to locate at this site, including grocery stores and
other large retailers.
Written comment was received by Charles Woodruff, a resident in the development to the south.
This letter is in opposition of the development and states some of their concerns are the increased population resulting in an increase in traffic, lower property values, the rapid rate
of development of existing farmland, etc.
