Comments and conditions pertaining to the development of the commercial lot will be reviewed during the building permit review process. 1 S *;\/ Memorandum To: Steve Hasson From: Gordon Law, City Engineer I. Re: Case Nos. ZON-20-02, SUB-68PF-02, and SUP-155-02 Date: February 15, 2002 The Engineering Department provides the following comments concerning a rezone from an R-3 to a C-2, a preliminary plat approval for Boyer Caldwell Medical Subdivision, and a Special Use Permit for off-site parking adjacent to West Valley Medical Center. 1. The proposed plat as shown on the Earl & Associates drawing dated 1-25-2002, does not comply with the City's Infrastructure Improvement Policy, which requires lot frontage on an opened public right-of- way. The Engineering Department recommends the Infrastructure Improvement Policy apply to this subdivision. 2. Sewer main lines are located in 10th Avenue from Logan Street to Elm Street, also in Logan and Elm Streets from 10th Avenue to a point approximately 165 feet west of 10th Avenue. 3. 8-inch water mains exist in 10th Avenue from Logan Street to Elm Street and Arlington Avenue from Logan Street to Pine Street. A 4-inch water main exists in Elm Street from 10th Avenue to Pine Street. There is inadequate water supply for this development, therefore the Engineering Department recommends that the developer construct a new 8-inch water main in Elm Street from 10th Avenue to Arlington Avenue and Arlington Avenue from 10th Avenue to Pine Street. 4. The City of Caldwell Infrastructure Improvement Policy requires new development to construct street improvements, including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street widening. Any existing curb and gutter in disrepair shall be required to be replaced. Sidewalks will be required adjacent to all streets. 5. Development Plans — Prior to any proposed use or commencing any construction, plans must be prepared by the developer's engineer and approved by the City Engineering Department which include the following items: a. Potable water(per City and DEQ requirements); b. Connections to City sewer and water systems; c. Locations of existing curb and gutter indicating areas to be replaced. d. Sidewalk (4-foot width); e. Stormwater facilities(per City Policy); f. Irrigation system (per Caldwell Irrigation Lateral District requirements). 6. The developer is to employ a responsible design professional, preferably the engineer of record, to oversee and inspect construction, to perform and/or observe all requisite testing of completed facilities, and to certify that improvements have been constructed according to approved plans and in compliance with applicable City, State, and Federal standards. 7. Prior to commencement of construction in any dedicated right-of-way, the City Engineering Department shall be notified and a "Permit To Use Right-of-Way" shall be obtained. Notification preferably will take place in a pre-construction conference scheduled by the engineer of record in which all appropriate personnel and utilities are present. Appropriate City personnel are to be notified in advance of all required inspections. 8. As noted previously, provision is to be made for the disposal of stormwater drainage in accordance with the City Stormwater Management Policy. A copy of this policy is available upon request. The Page 1 of 2 c)?\'' developer's engineer is to provide calculations, which indicate that the assumptions in his stormwater drainage plan comply with the requirements of the stormwater policy. 9. This area has experienced traffic congestion to the point that a traffic signal is now warranted at the intersection of 10th Avenue and Logan Street. With the added traffic to be generated by this development, the Engineering Department recommends that the applicant provide input from an independent source with expertise related to traffic movement patterns, to determine what additional improvements may be required to accommodate the increased traffic flow. 10. If a Traffic Study is required as requested above, then the Engineering Department requests that the applicant be required to participate in a proportionate share of the cost for improvements recommended by the study. 11. Irrigation water for any and all landscaping shall be obtained from Pioneer Irrigation District sources. 12. Appropriately licensed public works contractors shall perform all construction within rights-of-way.

Freeman Superintendent LJF:ntk �,3 WWI DATE: March 20, 2002 TO: Steve Hasson, Community Development Director FROM: Douglas Brown,Assistant Chief/Fire Marshal SUBJECT: Comments for Caldwell City Council April 1,2002 Meeting The Caldwell Fire Department (CFD) offers the following comments regarding the following cases to come before the Caldwell City Council on April 1,2002: Case No: ZON-20-02, SUB-68PF-02 and SUP-155-02 Applicant: Boyer Caldwell Medical, LC Project: Addition to WVMC—Medical Office Building Location: NE corner of Arlington Ave. and Elm Street The CFD has met with a representative of the developer and city staff to go over fire department issues relating to access, fire flow, built-in fire protection and fire hydrant revisions. The CFD supports the zoning change and the use and development of this three-story office building. The CFD is also aware of the current inadequacies of the water system proximal to this project and has met with city staff(Engineering and Water Departments)to ensure that upgrades are required in order to allow this project to proceed. All other concerns will be addressed during the routine building permit plan review process. 1 p< A Memorandum To: Steve Hasson From: Ben Weymouth,Assistant City Engineer Gordon Law,City Engineer Re: Case No. SUB-68PF,ZON-20-02, SUP-155-02 Date: March 20,2002 The Engineering Department provides the following comments concerning the development applications associated with the Caldwell Medical Office Building. Comments were originally submitted February 15, 2002. These comments address modifications necessary since the case was heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission. 1. Comments # 1 and # 4 make reference to the City of Caldwell Infrastructure Policy. This Policy does not apply to those developments that occur through the subdivision process. However, any existing curb and gutter in disrepair shall be required to be replaced. Sidewalks will be required adjacent to all streets that can be considered adjacent to this development. The need for such improvements will be reviewed during the building permit process. 2. Comment # 3 requested that the applicant upgrade existing water main lines in the area to provide an adequate supply. This issue was not resolved at the Planning &Zoning Commission meeting. After a thorough evaluation by City staff and subsequent discussion with the Applicants representatives, the applicant has verbally agreed to construct the 8-inch water lines requested in Elm Street from Tenth Avenue to Arlington Avenue and in Arlington Avenue from Elm Street to Pine Street. 3. Comment# 9 requested that the applicant provide a traffic study to quantify the impact of the proposed development on the neighborhood. This issue was not resolved at the Planning&Zoning Commission meeting. Following discussion with City Staff, the Applicant and West Valley Medical Center have agreed to complete a traffic study. The results of this study should be available at the Council meeting on April 1,2002. 4. As per Comment# 10,the Engineering Department requests that the applicant be required to participate in a proportionate share of the cost for improvements recommended by the traffic study. The. vppJicunfs represent^t+vQ, hots•5. - :• " •- ' • - = ; . . •- • • __•-••:• == -: indicated that the irrigation water supply for the development site is unreliable at best. Additionally, the overall landscaped area should not be significantly changed by the development. The Engineering Department may recommend that the proposed development be allowed to continue the use of City water for irrigation purposes on the condition that the site connects to a surface water source when it becomes available in the future. This issue is currently under review by the applicants representatives and City staff. Recommendations will be provided at the Council meeting on April 1,2002. Page 1 of 1
