Valley County, Idaho
JJ Southwest Development
Whitehawk: The project design team provided the entitlement and civil engineering for the 850-acre mountainside residential development adjacent to the North Fork of the Payette River. The design team provided complete large lot residential development plans for the site.
The engineering portion included road and driveway grading, adjacent infrastructure improvements, erosion analysis, culvert sizing and placement, drainage analysis, and a complete hydrologic report for the site. Engineering of the site proved especially challenging due to the steep grades, deep valleys. A concentrated effort was made to keep the site looking natural and vegetated after construction.
The development also included extensive coordination with the surrounding community and Valley County to ensure the new development pleased the surrounding residents and provided necessary infrastructure to the neighborhood. Landscape and trail plans were also provided for the site, which included community gathering areas, greenways, tree placement, and concentration on providing natural vegetation to the site which would blend in with the mountainside.
