Boise and Ada that the Avimor project falls within. They are also investigating forming a local
highway department to serve Avimor proper. Currently a roadway maintenance agreement is in
place with Boise County that allows Avimor to maintain the roads.
Sonia Daleiden, Kittleson and Associates, 101 S. Capital Blvd Ste. 600 Boise, Idaho. A traffic
analysis is in the final stages of completion;and when completed it will be reviewed by ACHD and
ITD. Avimor has unique traffic characteristics compared to typical residential developments. Most
residents in Avimor are retired or work from home, in addition to the fact that they have access to
recreation practically in their backyards. Studies show that a typical residential development would
generate 100 PM peak hour trips,whereas Avimor generates only 50 PM peak hour trips.

3. Water/Irrigation
Brad Pfannmuller, discusses the water infrastructure that was initially installed and water
conservation. Mr. Pfannmueller reviews water conservation efforts which include that all homes
and common areas are planted with Firewise and Xeriscape landscaping. Avimor homes use less
that 50% of water per home than a typical home in the valley. Additionally, they reuse all water
from homes for irrigation of parks and common areas.
Jason Thomson, SPF Water Engineering Ste 350 Boise, Idaho. Mr. Thomson reviews the current
water rights held by Avimor, and the additional permitting that is being sought. At build out
Avimor is projected to need 7 cfs to serve the development, and if the additional cfs are acquired
there would be an excess of 3-8 cfs above the projected need of the development.
Discussion.
4. Sewer
Mr. Richter discusses the Avimor Water Reclamation Company that has been installed is an
advanced system. The facility was built and designed to be expanded in the future to cover all of
the development.Redundancies have been built into the system in order to meet the Department of
Environmental Quality requirements.
Discussion.
5. Open Space
Mr. Richter states that the Village One has approximately 60% open space. Habitat Management
Plan that includes noxious weed plan, recreation plan and fire and vegetation management plan
have all been created for the development. Avimor has clustered development in Villages and
Hamlets to allow for large unobstructed space.
Discussion.
6. Trails
Mr. Richter states that Avimor has over 100 miles of trails currently in development. The trail
system accommodates all types of users from horseback riders to ATV riders. A portion of the
