solar access and the affect on solar access that may occur as
a result of adopting an ordinance to increase building
height. However, through the Special Use Permit process,
such concerns could be evaluated on a case by case basis.
The recommendation to the City Council from the Planning and
Zoning Commission was to approve the proposed code amendment
to the Caldwell Zoning Ordinance.
As there was no one signed up to speak to this issue, the
Mayor closed the public hearing.
(PUBLIC HEARING ON VACATION OF STREET AND PLAT ON JOLIET STREET)
Mayor Dakan opened the public hearing and requested that the
Planning and Zoning Director present the background
information on this issue.
Mr. Crooks presented the material as outlined in his memo to
the Mayor and Members of the City Council as follows:
The item before the City Council was a vacation to vacate a
portion of a plat and also that portion of Joliet Street
between Ninth Avenue and the intersection of Illinois and
Marble Front. Presently, this portion of Joliet Street is
already blocked off as a result of some redesign of this
intersection performed by the State in conjunction with
putting in the on and off ramps to the freeway.
In December of 1989, representatives from the Maverik Country
Store approached and informed the City of Caldwell of their
option to purchase property located on the east side of
Illinois Avenue south of Marble Front Road and formerly
occupied by a veterinary clinic. Additionally, Maverik
Country Store indicated their desire to correct the odd
configuration of the property through the vacation of
presently unused Joliet Street and /or a possible purchase of
a portion of park property from the City with the ultimate
objective of constructing a retail facility at that location.
The purpose of the requested street and plat vacation is to
facilitate a more orderly development of property at and near
the intersection of Illinois Avenue and Marble Front Road.
Typically, with a street vacation, each of the abutting
property owners would acquire a proportionate share of the
vacated right -of -way based on the amount of street frontage.
Also, it should be noted that if Maverik Country Store
pursues the purchase of additional property from the City, it
would be through a separate standard bid process and would
not be considered part of the vacation request.
As part of the review and evaluation of the requested
vacation, notices were sent to affected utility companies and
other agencies. Responses were received from Idaho Power and
U.S. West Communications. Essentially, their response
requested that their improvements within the areas for
vacation would be honored. It is not anticipated that any
other objectives or concerns with the requested vacation are
forthcoming.
The recommendation was to approve the vacation request
subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Prior to final recordation of the vacation:
a) Final plans shall be submitted for the review and
approval of the City Engineer.
b) Final plans shall be submitted for the review and
approval of U.S. West Communication for the purpose of
identifying telephone cable, pedestals and other
improvements with provisions made to maintain and /or
repair any of these improvements. Any relocation costs
will be borne by the party requesting this vacation.
c) Final plans shall be submitted for the review and
approval of Idaho Power for the purpose of establishing
an easement for existing power lines located on the
BnDk 31 F- 34
