It acknowledges and meets all requirements and conditions set forth in the preliminary plat.The existing Prudam Gulch Drain, owned and maintained by the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District (NMID), crosses the property along the east and north boundary starting from the southeast corner to the northwest corner. General Project Description -The approved subdivision, known as the Aviation Subdivision, is currently under construction in substantial conformance with the preliminary plat.The design adheres to all requirements and provisions of the Unified Development Code (UDC).The subdivision incorporates a mixture of multifamily sites and aligns closely with the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan. Its layout emphasizes high connectivity and easily accessible open spaces. Spanning the 10-acre land,there are a total of 75 proposed units.The diverse housing types implemented conform to the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan and include front-loaded multifamily units, alley-loaded houses facing open spaces, and multifamily sites with ample surrounding open spaces.The strategic planning and community-based development employed in this project aim to provide a variety of housing options beneficial to the community. Subdivision Name -The name "Aviator Subdivision" was officially reserved with the Ada County Surveyor's office on September 29th and has received approval for construction in substantial conformance with the preliminary plat. P.O. Box 8525 Boise, Idaho 83707 Residential Lots-The newly proposed residential lots have been appropriately sized to accommodate building structures that align with the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan.These lots contribute additional housing options to a desirable part of town.The attached multi-family product on this site enhances the natural flow from the existing Hensley Station Subdivision to the West. Additionally,the subdivision includes a dedicated section for multi-family fourplex buildings,fostering ample open space and walkability while maintaining a tight-knit community atmosphere. Streets-As part of the approved design and construction, the existing W Aviator Street collector roadway is being extended through the site to enable future access to properties situated to the east. A 20-foot landscape buffer has been incorporated to provide a natural separation between the collector roadway and the proposed homes.The site features a combination of local public streets, minor urban streets, and private streets to enhance connectivity. On-street parking is available for guests and visitors, while residents have access to 20-foot driveways and two-car garages for parking convenience. Sewer-The existing sanitary sewer connection, located in the northwest corner of the site, has been integrated into the construction. It connects to the newly installed 10-inch Hensley Station Subdivision sewer mainline. Additionally, a proposed 10-inch sewer main runs through the site and connects to the east boundary of Aviator Street,facilitating connections for future subdivisions. Domestic Water-The domestic water system within the site comprises a looped system that connects to the south boundary line in Aviator Street, allowing for future subdivision connections. Drainage -The project includes a comprehensive drainage plan to collect and dispose of all stormwater generated from the lots and the new private roadway within the project boundaries. Irrigation -The proposed irrigation system for the site will be connected to the existing NMID pump station situated in the southeast corner of the site. This irrigation system will be shared among the Compass Charter School, Hensley Station Subdivision, and Aviator Subdivision. Coordination with the irrigation district and the lateral association has been initiated to confirm water rights, shares, and availability. Dry Utilities- Coordination with Idaho Power, Century Link, Intermountain Gas, and Cable One has confirmed that these utility services are readily available and adjoining the property.This allows for convenient adjacent connections without the need for off-site extensions. Common Areas-The construction incorporates several common spaces to promote walkability and community engagement.The largest open space on-site is the 100' wide NMID easement for the proposed piped Purdam Gulch Drain.This open space serves as a buffer between the fourplex multifamily sites and the adjacent future subdivisions, as well as the existing railroad right of way to the north. Additionally, landscape buffers along the roadway and interior open spaces contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the community. Sincerely, Jadon Schneider, P.E.
