Development Plans— Prior to commencing construction, plans must be prepared by the developer's engineer and approved by the City Engineering Department which include the following items: a. Street section and alignment (including curb and gutter); b. Sidewalk (5-foot width collectors/arterials, and 4-foot width on other streets); c. Sanitary sewer (per City and DEQ requirements); d. Potable water(per City and DEQ requirements); e. Stormwater facilities (per City Policy); f. Irrigation system (per Pioneer Irrigation District requirements); g.

Street lighting Within Public Rights-of-Way: • maximum spacing of 350 feet and must meet Idaho Power design standards plus conform identically to the lamp, ballast, and sensor switching equipment used by Idaho Power); Private Property: • Street lights are recommended for safety within parking lots and common areas 2. 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. 3. Prior to commencement of construction in any dedicated right-of-way, or construction of any improvement intended for dedication to the City or connected to a City facility, the City Engineering staff is to be notified. This preferably will take place in a pre-construction conference scheduled by the engineer of record in which all appropriate personnel and utilities Page 1 of 2 I P � SW are present. Appropriate City personnel are to be notified in advance of all testing (including compaction, pressure and coliform, etc.) and given opportunity to be present during conduct of the testing. The engineer of record or his designated representative is to witness all tests and a log of inspection visits and testing results is to be kept by the engineer of record or his representative. 4. 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 engineer of record is to provide calculations, which indicate that the assumptions in his stormwater drainage plan comply with the requirements of the stormwater policy. For any off-site discharge, written approval from the agency responsible for the receiving water body is required before final plat approval. 5. The development is to include a non-potable water pressure irrigation system. The design of this pressure irrigation system is to be reviewed and approved by Pioneer Irrigation District and a letter obtained indicating their approval of the design. This letter of approval must be completed and submitted to the City. 6. Ustick Road (a principal arterial) should have a minimum one-half right-of-way width of 40 feet dedicated to the City of Caldwell adjacent to the applicants property. 7. During the design phase of this project, the developer or his engineer is to contact Pioneer Irrigation District to ascertain all existing upstream drainage rights and downstream irrigation rights that need to be maintained across the property. Appropriate facilities should be provided to convey irrigation and drainage water across the property to take care of these offsite needs. There is to be no discharge of irrigation return water into the subdivision storm water system. 8. Significant offsite sewer or water construction will be required to be constructed to City standards, dedicated to the City, and located within permanent easements or rights-of-way (20 feet in width) dedicated to the City of Caldwell. 9. If this development will be owned by multiple parties, the Engineering Department recommends the construction of sewer and water main lines (by the owners) to City standards and dedicated to the City of Caldwell. Any easements for sewer or water main lines should be at least 20 feet in width. 10. Construction of dedicated facilities is to be performed by an appropriately licensed public works contractor. 11. As stated previously, the developer will be required to provide frontage improvements in accordance with the City's Infrastructure Improvement Policy adjacent to public rights-of-way that meet City requirements. In doing this, culverts and/or bridges may have to be extended and/or replaced to allow proper roadway widths. Similarly, the applicant should be aware that any utilities and/or structures in the way of said improvements will be required to be relocated at the applicants expense. The applicant will be responsible to obtain any and all necessary permits from the appropriate governing entity. 12. The applicant will be required to pay sewer and water connection fees in conjunction with the building permit process.

Date: July 25, 2001 Applicant: Mr. Darin Cook/KOA Development, Inc. From: Douglas Brown, Assistant Chief/Fire Marshal Subject: Comments Regarding Ashton Place Apartments S. of Ustick Road and E. of Eaton Avenue The CFD has received preliminary plans regarding this subdivision within the past few days. Upon review of these tentative submissions, we offer the following comments: • Access as shown on the preliminary plans appears adequate. There are public streets on three sides of this project. We would want to designate the entire length of driveway on the south side as a Fire Lane and prohibit any parking along it and mark it accordingly. • A fire department key box would be required for emergency access to all buildings. • There are currently three (3) existing fire hydrants on the perimeter of this project. These fire hydrants should meet or exceed the minimum required fire flow. (The required minimum fire flow will be determined upon submission of plans for plan review.) • One additional fire hydrant will be required about mid-point along the driveway on the south side of the apartments. • Because there are six (6) dwelling units proposed in each building, Section 8-13-13 (5) of the Caldwell Municipal Code requires that each building be protected with an approved automatic fire sprinkler system. An NFPA Std. 13R system would be the type required for this project. • Provisions relating to exiting, fire extinguishers and other related measures will be addressed upon plan review and will have to comply with the provisions of the 1997 Uniform Fire Code as adopted by Caldwell Municipal Code. The CFD looks forward to working with the Applicant should their project proceed.
