Beswick said he and neighbors have been sweeping chips daily and that the contractor did not place a fog coat that would have helped bind the surface. He said Public Works Director Bruce Mills inspected the neighborhood, told residents the chip used was the wrong size and described the condition as the worst he had seen in his 25 years in street maintenance. Beswick said Mills had been sympathetic but told residents the city would not fog-coat streets completed in 2024.

Council members asked staff questions about the contract and whether the contractor could be held responsible for the failed work. Councilor Stoddick suggested the city attorney review the contract language to determine contractor obligations; the mayor agreed to have staff and legal counsel follow up. The mayor also said the council could consider budget options to fund corrective work such as fog coating neighborhoods, but no funding decision was made at the meeting.

Beswick left physical samples and copies of his correspondence with the city for council review and requested the city send a contractor back to complete the fog coating. City staff confirmed streets scheduled for 2025 will receive fog coating as part of that year’s contract but said the 2024 streets were not slated for further work under the current contract schedule.

No formal council action was taken; the council directed staff to review the contractor contract and report back.","A resident told the council that a 2024 chip-seal application in Sienna Hills failed to receive a fog coat, leaving loose chips; staff inspected and said contractor used incorrect chip size; council directed staff and the city attorney to review the contract and potential remedies.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":46,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6515874,"Caldwell council denies resolution to authorize city-paid appraisals for three properties",1239,2159000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3845787-8435bf27f560cb21c34079a3c20c07b5&start=2159&end=3398","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3845787-8435bf27f560cb21c34079a3c20c07b5/thumbnail_2159000.jpg","/articles/6515874/Caldwell/Canyon-County/Idaho/Caldwell-council-denies-resolution-to-authorize-city-paid-appraisals-for-three-properties","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515874-a15be7a5a82f246c79033f2ea950355f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771197665&Signature=O0jd5Nt3X5NPM~zRaktysqz-qNRKZ9b~6qA8gssoGtDVH3rPaYL3tUR42ktvDPBmjZgaxqCgBSvmstNLRU-AEwWPG2cSm0vU5tR5GfSrcos0nPtBBPPhXPu5pIqsa0unSuKFB5RFDgDaKw3fj8r4sWRptI2ajjYfyGJmpBqwH4YjguF5-3iVLXHnM7DE~GpG8cn9BeklX6ytU8HmKIu1BdjQLrHsVZf-7C5j9SfBPYyqWGmnF0-4fyMW-DYbrx23TiyZpyWtukidDdzjR~iOPLf1vVFR4lSulzYWWJU7QD4WHu9mA2Dro48jWbXq0pwjqTe3NDv-Ajp0-A7oKgr8gA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Caldwell City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to deny a resolution that would have authorized the city to engage Langston & Associates for appraisals of three properties potentially involved in a proposed land exchange with Canyon County.

City staff described the work as three separate appraisals — each priced at about $5,500 — for 2218 Griffith Parkway (a roughly 20-acre parcel), 501 Main Street (a roughly 6,000-square-foot downtown building) and 111 South 20 Second Avenue (about 43,000 square feet, part of the Caldwell Event Center). Staff said Canyon County was planning its own separate appraisals and that the city’s appraisals would allow comparison and assist negotiations.

City staff noted brokers had provided informal opinions of value (about $5.9 million for the 20-acre parcel and roughly $5.6 million combined for the two buildings), but emphasized formal appraisals would be more precise. Finance staff told the council there was no budgeted line for the work; paying for the appraisals would require use of general fund balance because contingency had already been used for other items this year.

Several councilors questioned whether the city should pay to appraise properties the county owns and whether the timing was appropriate given budget constraints. One councilor said it would be reasonable for the county to commission appraisals and return values for comparison rather than asking the city to pay for appraisals of county-owned properties. Another suggested the city could commission an appraisal only of the city-owned 20-acre parcel and defer any additional appraisals until the county produced its reports.

Councilor Williams moved to deny the resolution; Councilor Stoddick seconded. The motion to deny passed unanimously. Council members left open the option to revisit appraisals later or to commission a single appraisal for the city-owned parcel if council wished.

Staff said the denial ended the current request but that council could later direct staff to pursue one or more appraisals or add funding during a later budget or fund-balance action. Staff also noted deed restrictions on the Griffith Parkway parcel complicated market valuation and that a formal appraisal could clarify value given those encumbrances.","Council voted unanimously to deny a resolution that would have authorized the city to contract Langston & Associates for appraisals of three properties (2218 Griffith Parkway; 501 Main Street; 111 S 20 Second Avenue) at a cost of about $16,500.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6515879,"Caldwell council approves short plat to split Home Depot site into four commercial lots",548,1580000,2128000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3845787-8435bf27f560cb21c34079a3c20c07b5&start=1580&end=2128","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3845787-8435bf27f560cb21c34079a3c20c07b5/thumbnail_1580000.jpg","/articles/6515879/Caldwell/Canyon-County/Idaho/Caldwell-council-approves-short-plat-to-split-Home-Depot-site-into-four-commercial-lots","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515879-74b1d4132dfea49fd6c007d1d7a643b9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771197665&Signature=Aqt6CJcz-05GHI9WK881Bs3bwguGaY9xXBsyMoiMn~w9ew~eeG~M9xuZ2AM1f-lpLqZUtf8jXHRdSJoFoi1cOgKLWr4ZVoKF7U9pGSwKY7GaHzWc9oKTPomF-xoq82uStwRiRqk0nogXJGVgIsX58SskW9aSePPRVqzZUDmddz8PauNUWJ64nIiVQjNehbbQOAz8DDPNlKEvyv8r~-KIbHKBB5i~ZXJ2z~yQBqUl60nkb4zy0~u3fHdowj~broUP5KTdEMMfwaaFIu88dJuZrlcUI-orW6ir0VyTDSWoACbu~BOylM6~l6tW1aAt71PouK7a5p4K0m7esvhP4MqM~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Caldwell City Council approved a short plat Tuesday to divide the 16.79-acre parcel currently under construction for Home Depot into four commercial and light-industrial lots.

Katie Wright, associate planner for the city, told the council the parcel, southwest of Highway 2026 and Smead Parkway, was annexed into the city and rezoned to M-1 in 2022. The short plat application (SPP2502) proposes one parcel for the Home Depot store — roughly just under 13 acres — and three additional pads in the northeast corner, the largest of which is about 1.5 acres; the other two are slightly over 1 acre each. Wright said staff found the proposal in compliance with bulk standards, frontage and subdivision ordinances and that utilities and site access are available or will be provided as required. She noted a development agreement associated with the property (instrument number 2022007464) governs permitted uses on the site.

Tamara Thompson of The Land Group, the applicant’s representative, said Home Depot is on schedule for temporary occupancy in August and a grand opening in October. Thompson said landscaping and utilities are being installed now and that the short plat primarily formalizes internal lot lines and easements, including sewer and water easements the city has requested.

Councilors debated no substantive changes; one councilor moved to close public testimony after Thompson was the only speaker. Councilor Diodi moved approval, Councilor Denver seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. The council approved the short plat subject to the conditions listed in staff’s findings of fact, conclusions of law and order of decision.

The M-1 (General Industrial) zoning for the site allows industrial uses and certain commercial uses that staff said would be consistent with the development agreement and the comprehensive plan’s employment center place type. Wright said specific site details such as building setbacks and parking will be reviewed at building permit stage.

Council discussion and the staff report did not identify any public-agency objections or public comments opposing the short plat during the review period. The applicant and staff agreed to finalize recorded easements with the final plat as required.

The approval allows the applicant to record the final plat after meeting the conditions stated in the staff report, creating the three smaller pads in addition to the Home Depot parcel.","The Caldwell City Council unanimously approved a short plat (SPP2502) to subdivide a 16.79-acre parcel with the under-construction Home Depot into four commercial/industrial lots; staff found the proposal met zoning and subdivision standards.","actionData","errors"]
