Re: SUP-128-01, Ashton Place Apartment Complex
Date: July 20, 2001
The Engineering Department provides the following comments on the above referenced special
use permit:
1. 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 signage (per City and MUTCD requirements);
h. 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

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.

delivery system past the curb stop valve going to said property. All interlines must be
maintained by the owner of the property, and it must be funttier understood and agreed
that all expenses incurred to hook up to Ashton HiIl's system must be paid for by the

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.
