Case Nos. ANN-13-99 and SUB-30P-99, a request by V.E. Graves and Sons, Inc. to annex approximately 14.71 acres into the City of Caldwell as an R-1 (Low-Density Residential) zone, and for preliminary plat approval (Quail Meadow) to develop 39 residenrial on the aforementioned 14.71 acres. The subject site is currently zoned County R-1 and is located between a portion of the east side of Dorman Avenue and a portion of the west side of Marshall Avenue, and adjacent to the west side of Manchester Park No. 3. Testimony — Linda James presented the staff report and PZ 1000, a copy of a revised plat as submitted by the Applicant's engineer. She testified that the Quail Meadow preliminary plat, as submitted to Planning and Zoning Commission members in their packets, showed Bradford Way as the connecting street to Phase 5 of Manchester Park. The revised plat of Quail Meadow now shows the eliminarion of Bradford Way with no connection to Manchester Park. Mrs. James stated that she and Gordon Law had received direction from City Council, during a public hearing on Copper-rock Subdivision, that subdivisions were to be connected whenever possible and that through-streets were to be encouraged wherever possible. She also testified that Subdivision Ordinance No. 1758 was amended in order to place the authority for preliminary plat approval with the Council and to remove approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission's authority. The amendment to the Ordinance was basically undertaken because the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the prelirrunary plat for Copper-rock Subdivision without a through street. Mrs. James noted for the record that the Quail Meadow preliminary plat, as first submitted, included a connection street with Manchester Park and was in keeping with the City Council's directive to her and Gordon Law. Dennis King, Applicant's engineer, testified in favor and stated the following: the Applicant would comply with installing the street connection into Manchester Park if required by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council; the subject site is contiguous to the City and the common boundary is Manchester Pazk; the site is a part of Wood's Acreage platted in 1895 and included the right-of-way along the east boundary and the right-of-way known as First Street, but that neither rights-of-way were ever developed; the Applicant has requested the City to vacate both rights-of-way but the vacation requests have not been presented to City Council at tlus time and if Council � would not approve the vacations, the plat would have to be redesigned; if a pressurized irrigation system is installed it would have to be constructed to the standards of Pioneer Irrigation District and would be owned and maintained by the District; the Applicant is requesting flood irrigation because there is a question as to whether or not there is adequate water to support a pressurized system; the lot dedicated for stormwater detention is in the low corner of the property and Gordon Law approves detention and stormwater plans; Dorman is paved but there is no curb and gutter. Ron Rainey, owner of property that abuts the north side of the proposed subdivision, testified in opposirion and expressed his concerns with sewer, water and storm drain runoff collecting and running off onto his property; the development of Manchester Park covered up an existing drain ditch; storm drains were installed but are not adequate; the vacation of the right-of-way along the eastern boundary (Marshall Avenue) should not be granted; the underground irrigation pipe from the southern area along Dorman might be disturbed by this development. Dennis King testified in rebuttal to the following: that the 25 feet along the eastern boundary is a public right-of- ' way and not an easement; when the right-of-way is vacated the final plat for the subdivision would show a 10-foot ' easement along this area in order to accommodate utilities; Manchester Park would also dedicate a 10-foot easement along their western boundary, which together with the 10-foot easement along Quail Meadow would provide for a 20-foot utility easement; Idaho Code regulates off-site drainage and irrigation waters and the developer will comply with Code requirements.

Mr Trammel testified when they purchased the property it was covered in thistles, the drainage was bad, the PH balance was not right, and the water table was to high to farm. They opened drains, built office, built the Chevron gas station and would like approval for this project, the lots are large, they plan to meet all code requirements, and above ground septic is planned. • Mitch Bicandi, owner of property west of proposed site and president of the ditch company servicing this area, • testified he was neutral but expressed concerns of drainage, and questioned whether he could continue farming, because of the dust he creates. Amy Woodruff, ApplicanYs Engineer tesrified that the runoff generated by the interior streets will be reviewed and approved by the Notus Parma Highway District; JiJB is the engineering firm designing the drainage system; all Code requirements will be met; Code will not permit drainage from the subdivision to flow onto adjacent properties.
