SUBJECT: Final Plat Application | Karcher Commons Subdivison No. 1
Dear Planning and Zoning Staff,
This letter is to accommodate and describe the intent of the Karcher Commons Subdivision No. 1 Final
Plat. Along with this letter, we are submitting the required documents for this application.
Karcher Commons Subdivison No. 1 is the first of four (4) phases of development. The zoning is split
between both Highway Corridor (HC) and R-2 zoning. This phase of development consists of 12
commercial lots within the HC zoning designation and corresponding right-of-way dedication for
classified and local roadways on ±23.98 acres. The site is located near the intersection of Karcher and
Indiana. Lot sizes range from 14,144 SF (0.325 AC) to 531, 360 SF (12.17 AC), with an average lot size of
68,389 SF (1.57 AC).
Public utilities, including sewer and water, are proposed to serve the site. Pressure irrigation is provided
via the neighboring Arrowrock Farms development’s improvements to the existing Kingsview Pump
Station. Internal irrigation service locations will be determined with further internal development that
designates open space areas. Stormwater design and storage complies with the City of Caldwell’s 2024
stormwater design requirements. The site layout includes necessary easements, drainage conveyance,
and right-of-way improvements to support this development as well as future phases. The final plat and
associated civil plans conform to the approved preliminary plat and meet applicable provisions of the
City’s UDC.
We appreciate the opportunity to present this application to the City of Caldwell. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (208) 442-6300 or jruther@adurra.com
Sincerely,
Jacob Ruther,
Land Use Planner
