RE: Request for Vacation of a Section of N 9th Avenue Adjacent to 1102 N 9th Ave,
Caldwell, ID
To Whom It May Concern,
On behalf of my clients, the Brumfield Claude Trust A, owners of the property located at 1102 N
9th Avenue, Caldwell, ID 83605, I am writing to formally request the City’s consideration of
vacating the section of N 9th Avenue that lies directly adjacent to their parcel.
The Brumfield property consists of approximately 2.19 acres and is currently listed for sale at
$1.49 million. The intent behind this vacation request is not to increase the listing price or the
financial return to the property owners, but rather to make the site more attractive to potential
developers. By incorporating the vacated section of N 9th Avenue into the total acreage of the
property, we can offer a larger, more cohesive development site without increasing the asking
price. The property would remain listed at or below $1.49 million, even with the additional land
included.
This strategic approach is aimed at facilitating a sale that promotes the highest and best use of
the property. We have engaged with multiple developers, and the feedback has consistently
emphasized the need for larger, contiguous parcels to allow for more efficient and desirable
development plans—particularly for multifamily or mixed-use projects. The presence of a public
right-of-way interfering with the highest and best use of this developable land creates challenges
in site planning and density optimization.
We believe that approving the vacation of this underutilized section of N 9th Avenue would
align with the City of Caldwell’s broader goals of encouraging well-planned development,
increasing the local housing supply, and revitalizing key corridors. Housing remains a critical
need within the city, and unlocking this site’s full potential through this modest change could
yield meaningful contributions to addressing that shortage.
This request reflects a genuine desire to enhance the site’s marketability and support responsible
growth in Caldwell. It is made with the City’s long-term interests in mind and with respect for
the collaborative efforts needed to meet community needs.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please let us know if any further documentation or
participation is required as part of the vacation process. We look forward to the opportunity to
discuss this request further and work toward a positive outcome for the City of Caldwell and its
residents.
Sincerely,
