The Beautification Commission met with the Parks & Recreation Commission and
County Planner Arlo Nelson for the purpose of discussing the proposed Caldwell
Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Nelson presented information including the following:
1 . The plan will be a twenty year plan with a projected population
1 increase of 8000 to 12,000 people.
2. A planning neighborhood is defined as an area that would support an
elementary school. Ideal planning would incorporate a school and
park near the center of the area with commercial and services on the
periphery.
3. There are currently eighty-one acres of dedicated parks in Caldwell.
The standard for planning is 1 .05 acres per 100 population. This
produces a projected need of seventy-five more acres.
4. The Comprehensive Plan is a policy statement which guides the City
in ordinances and priorities.
During discussion the following areas of concern for consideration in the plan
were noted:
1 . The possible multiuse of school grounds as parks.
2. The establishment of greenbelts, both standards and locations.
3. Design review of commercial areas bordering residential areas.
4. A buffer zone along the Boise River.
Each Commission will work on portions of the plan and then meet for comparison
of thought and possible conflicts before submitting proposals.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
