Approved: 7-acre Idaho Power electric substation with screening berms
GWC Capital received approval on consent from the Eagle City Council on July 9 for a fenced substation pad, gravel access road and driveway to Aerie Way, with landscaped berms for screening. No buildings or signs are part of the approval, and the berms must be included in a future community park review.
About this application
GWC Capital asked for design review approval to build an Idaho Power electric substation on about 7 acres near the future northwest corner of Aerie Way and Willow Creek Road in Eagle. The fenced substation pad would sit into an existing slope, screened by berms, with a gravel access road and a driveway to Aerie Way. The site is undeveloped range land in the Valnova development.
GWC Capital, represented by Eric Langvardt with Langvardt Design Group, is requesting design review approval of a public service facility for an Idaho Power substation. The 7-acre (approximate) site is located near the future northwest corner of Aerie Way and Willow Creek Road (Ada County Assessor parcel number S0218212700) which is outside of the PUMP No. 1 boundary but is considered an essential public facility.
