Morgan Besaw, planning and zoning, outlined the request: a 5.5-acre parcel proposed for 20 duplex lots (40 dwelling units) that would yield a density of about 7.2 dwelling units per acre in an R-2 (medium-density residential) zone. Besaw noted that horizontal infrastructure'roads, water, sewer, sidewalks, playground and open space'had already been constructed under prior entitlements, but the earlier approvals expired in 2022 and the applicant reapplied.

The project drew sustained public comment from multiple neighbors who said the development broke promises made in earlier approvals and expressed concern about higher density, aesthetics and past management of the site. Phyllis Jewett, a long-time neighbor, said, \"This has been going on since 02/2016. It looks like a weedy mess.\" Terry Koehler and other residents urged the council to require single-family homes rather than duplexes.

Developer representative Daniel Sharp (engineer) and applicant John Giuliani said the infrastructure is complete, utilities are available, and duplexes are permitted in R-2 zoning. Elizabeth Kekaritz, land use counsel for the applicant, told council the preliminary plat meets the five statutory findings for approval and that the project conforms with the comprehensive plan'Neighborhood 2 designation.

After deliberation, Councilor Denber moved to approve SPP24-04 with the condition that the phase adhere to the original 5-duplex/15-single-family split from the 2016 entitlements; Councilor Dodi seconded the motion. The council approved the motion; one council member registered opposition. The council instructed staff that, should proposals be submitted, design-review-type conditions could be added later at building permit stage or through a more specific development agreement.

Why it matters: The decision resolves a multi-year dispute between neighbors and the developer by reinstating the earlier unit mix that had been part of the initial approvals, while leaving building-level design review to future permit review.","The council approved preliminary plat SPP24-04 and a development-agreement modification for Canyon Crossing No. 2 but added a condition requiring the original plan's mix of 15 single-family homes and 5 duplexes, after residents raised concerns about density, design and a history of project delays.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6611878,"Council approves Barnwood Subdivision preliminary plat for six industrial lots",718,1930000,2648000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2892843-b67a85b4e5b6439c5bc1de4f4cd69977&start=1930&end=2648","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2892843-b67a85b4e5b6439c5bc1de4f4cd69977/thumbnail_1930000.jpg","/articles/6611878/Caldwell/Canyon-County/Idaho/Council-approves-Barnwood-Subdivision-preliminary-plat-for-six-industrial-lots","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6611878-cd5a0d31b74e27ad8a49da338c8cd974/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174649&Signature=UnRoSaUSe-BJBj~sAOgXOeHrFbEVbsM4ObC7pU~frnM3YgWnMkqHcP7hiH9BTvNxHLeZPi8dex9JVKR5KJuFQoVMQAO0dAaaf~qrNFHkMmKOKNjAu3AYqSXE~54b5vUNaisUy-xLW~ngoGbQMRgysfgEbCK2bjupMypWoYZSw~D0eFSXVOle0-vMUqXEH-bUN5ZR875zz2O6NCUgv~8UWoytufsxH5cuRsGzwxmPx~s2xJGeQzbX~E-yKY1Z0caa0dVX14JCPS-SHeUo-HbrELAfgCzjmOD~G378A0QeXCRy32MQPkRgEL-9Pp5TP86~8SapIYSnpk3CIuIrop~xiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Caldwell City Council on April 7 approved preliminary plat SPP24-06, the Barnwood Subdivision, which will divide a 15.69-acre parcel near the airport into five industrial lots and one common lot.

Morgan Besaw, planning and zoning staff, told the council the site is already zoned M-1 (light industrial) and is designated as an employment center in the city's comprehensive plan. Besaw said the applicant will dedicate a pressurized irrigation pad to the city and that agency reviews returned no major objections. \"The proposed development is in compliance with all other zoning and subdivision ordinances,\" Besaw said.

John Giuliani, the applicant and owner of Montana Timber Products, told the council the site will support his business and add complementary industrial uses. He said the front lots on Linden are intended for complementary businesses and some lots will be used for outside storage.

Staff recommended approval with one additional condition: prior to signature of the final plat, all residential structures on the site must be removed. Council acted on a motion to approve the preliminary plat with the staff condition; the motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote.

Why it matters: The approval preserves industrial use and adds employment capacity near the airport; the condition ensures the final plat reflects the industrial nature of the subdivision.","Council approved the preliminary plat for Barnwood Subdivision (SPP24-06), a 15.69-acre industrial subdivision along East Linden Street and South KCID Road, subject to removal of existing residential structures before final plat signature.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6611883,"Council vacates right-of-way along south boundary of 1209 Andy Lane",327,1645000,1972000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2892843-b67a85b4e5b6439c5bc1de4f4cd69977&start=1645&end=1972","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2892843-b67a85b4e5b6439c5bc1de4f4cd69977/thumbnail_1645000.jpg","/articles/6611883/Caldwell/Canyon-County/Idaho/Council-vacates-right-of-way-along-south-boundary-of-1209-Andy-Lane","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6611883-8b45368ae74fc148a69a69f0feff7eff/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174649&Signature=lclnNTx-qhGL~0xjCDrQUVVLMjFSERzrkCd2kTdieaO01mt7vmzv1ogtluAJUsTPUUAE~iteyli3jDBL6lFw2ohwrqsHOf7-b7Z1RGz1zu65Hi~rvPIlAbGwHrtVV41jEoFqpCzkH-8Qms62KZB78hKV~I3ybfITet2sVJOqyBpQqpxw3sT9eIn3jrMwlxCup8BvrbAirFBoknG8p0rsCfh23-2Vifn9JPbcYWc5SuqbSBxzmO9015orUjrASBQP71kq8Vs5lGJGI3abXLHsGkc8wNgAO9XWKRrvI0~GTlSdhUGnVYVWO5Ks7ZzNLv-bu-aaKH~X06wspAnGsZl4~g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Caldwell City Council on April 7 approved a request to vacate a strip of right-of-way along the south boundary of 1209 Andy Lane, a move staff said would transfer maintenance and regulatory responsibility to adjacent property owners.

Joseph Dodson, principal planner for the city, described the request as a vacation of a roughly 50-foot-wide by about 480-foot-long right-of-way along the east side of Interstate 84, south of Andy Lane. \"It is right of way that's on the south side of this property,\" Dodson said, clarifying that the strip is not the annexation right-of-way for Andy Lane.

Dodson said agencies and utility providers were notified and raised no objections; Idaho Power will maintain existing easements for overhead lines. The Traffic Commission recommended approval with a condition that the vacated right-of-way be split equally between the applicant's parcel and the property to the south, giving 25 feet to each owner.

Dodson said the city has no utilities in the strip to maintain and that it has been unused since being shown on a historic plat. \"There's no plan for the city to utilize this,\" he said.

Councilors voted unanimously to approve Case BAC24-01 as presented. The motion to approve was moved and seconded and passed on a roll call vote.

Why it matters: Vacating city right-of-way converts a dormant public parcel to private ownership, changing maintenance responsibility and local tax rolls and removing a municipal maintenance obligation.","City council approved a request to vacate a roughly 50-by-480-foot strip of right-of-way along the south boundary of 1209 Andy Lane; councilors said the city had no utilities to maintain there and vacating will allow property owners to be taxed and regulated.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6611884,"Auditors give city clean opinion; council hears $11.7 million in federal awards and planned projects",966,573000,1539000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2892843-b67a85b4e5b6439c5bc1de4f4cd69977&start=573&end=1539","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2892843-b67a85b4e5b6439c5bc1de4f4cd69977/thumbnail_573000.jpg","/articles/6611884/Caldwell/Canyon-County/Idaho/Auditors-give-city-clean-opinion-council-hears-117-million-in-federal-awards-and-planned-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6611884-182572aebdd4a4d95cd34e9b487e78a4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174649&Signature=nb6d1qkmbuUuvsPInEYrZJti8rndprrHgq-xcytIwMoBqHwpbEwVQ0Hx9RnFA2gsnW2UHofRgSfut9-3YWj7qf~pZJ17rEVP~NoKNS9j-y5HEccbod-j-a712QNj7qKHvNVQb-3w~GUA01NE3ynfHdVe~d0C8J-bb0xAcK2Rq2194M8Gn3pX9eY4qqihmK-rddKlyL8g8nDm6t1~hKLN79S6pgK4z9OxGMqarPcXEAt-NaD88weT6yIHePJHfF5gC~lI~rIOXTRn3sHgovQuqC3ItyEdz3kF1rY0TH5yO8yd1920dtyoCwgqUU6j1CvlGD8QQ7icLrSc1384CjUmjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Caldwell City Council on April 7 received an audit presentation showing an unmodified (clean) opinion on the city's financial statements for the year ended Sept. 30, 2024, and a clean opinion on the employee health trust financials.

Bobby Lawrence, audit partner with Eide Bailly, told the council the audit found no material misstatements and no adjusting journal entries were required. \"We did not have any, what we call, adjusting journal entries,\" Lawrence said. Rochelle (last name on file: Casperi), who presented fund-level details for the city, complemented staff work on preparing the records for audit.

The audit packet included a summary of governmental and enterprise fund balances and a schedule of federal awards. Staff reported $82,100,000 in total governmental fund balance, though much of that is restricted or planned for projects: $33,500,000 in planned projects, $16,000,000 held in reserves and $27,100,000 restricted by use, Rochelle said.

City staff also reported a large year for federal awards: $11,700,000 received and expended in the fiscal year. Rochelle listed the largest programs in the single-year total: $9,500,000 in ARPA funds, roughly $810,000 from the Idaho Transportation Department Airport Improvement Program, about $755,000 in CDBG, and about $602,000 in a SAFERS grant. \"It was a very high year for federal awards,\" Rochelle said, and staff warned the ARPA amount will decline in future years.

Councilors asked follow-up questions about planned projects, funding rollovers and a quiet zone project. Rochelle said some multi-year projects were rolled forward and that staff would follow up with budget manager Raelynn on the quiet-zone funding.

Council action tied to the city's finance business was taken later in the meeting: the council approved accounts payable and payroll as presented. The motion to accept accounts payable of $6,462,881.78 and payroll/electronic payments totaling $1,456,072.06 was moved and seconded and passed on a voice vote.

Why it matters: A clean audit opinion indicates the city's audited financial statements conform materially with generally accepted accounting principles. The size and timing of federal awards and planned capital projects affect budgets and near-term spending priorities.","Auditors delivered an unmodified opinion on Caldwell's 2023-24 financial statements and health trust. City staff reported $82.1 million in governmental fund balance, $33.5 million in planned projects and $11.7 million in federal awards, including $9.5 million in ARPA funds.","actionData","errors"]
