RE: Peregrine West Annexation and Preliminary Plat Applications
Dear Ms. Wright,
On behalf of Trilogy Development, Inc., please accept our applications for Annexation and Preliminary Plat for
our Peregrine West Subdivision. As discussed at our roundtable meeting, Peregrine West is a 16.59-acre
residential subdivision comprised of 45 single-family residential lots, along with a variety of open spaces and
amenities across the site.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, FUTURE LAND USE MAP & ZONING
The City of Caldwell’s recently adopted Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map identifies this parcel as
Neighborhood 2 which allows for a density range of 2-8 dwelling units per acre. We are also following the
Comprehensive Plan with the zoning designation request of R-1 Low Density Residential, which is one of the
compatible zoning districts listed in the newly adopted Comprehensive Plan.
Peregrine West is proposing a total of 45 dwelling units with an overall density of 2.71 dwelling units per acre.
This is well within the maximum dwelling units per acre ranges outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. Additionally,
the project provides a total of 4.11 acres (24.8%) open space, of which 2.20 acres (13.3%) is qualified open space
as defined per City Code. This 9.3% qualified open space is nearly double the amount of qualified open space
required by code (5%).
PROJECT DESIGN
Peregrine West is a thoughtfully planned residential subdivision that is designed in accordance with the City of
Caldwell’s Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code as a low-density residential subdivision. Primary access into
the project will be from Orchard Avenue with a secondary access point at Ropers Road. There are a variety of
lot sizes and a total of 45 residential units.
PHASING PLAN
Peregrine West will be developed in one (1) phase. Development will start on the north end of our site and will
include improvements at Ropers Street as well as internal public streets in addition to frontage improvements
along Orchard Avenue. A stub street is also planned to connect Peregrine Estates No. 8 at Screech Street.

BULK ZONING STANDARDS
At this time, we are requesting a slight modification to the zoning standards to reduce the side yard setback
from six feet (6’) to five (5’). This slight modification is consistent with the newly proposed side yard setbacks
being considered by the city and is consistent with what our homebuyer prefer.
OPEN SPACES & AMENITIES
In accordance with the City of Caldwell’s Landscaping Ordinance1 Peregrine West has been designed to provide
for a robust amount of open space. Peregrine West includes 2.20 acres or 13.3% of open qualified open space
along with required park amenities such as walking paths, benches, as well as a tot lot and shade structure.
Additionally, due to the irrigation easement running along our western boundary of the site, along with two
large drainage lot areas, there is a substantial amount of additional open space connected to the qualified open
spaces which is not included in these calculations as restricted by code.
PUBLIC SERVICES
Water, Wastewater and Pressurized Irrigation will connect into the adjacent Peregrine Estates No. 8
infrastructure. All services will be designed in accordance with City of Caldwell standards. Additionally, any site
runoff and drainage will be captured and retained on site.
On behalf of Trilogy Development and the entire design team we appreciate your time and effort in reviewing
our application and I am happy to answer any questions you might have. I can best be reached at 208-724-2624.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Bonnie Layton
