SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The State Land Board adopted the Payette Endowment Land Strategy (PELS) in March 2021. Cougar Island is identified as Parcel M and in Tier One of the PELS which slates it for disposition
within 1- 5 years of adoption of PELS. The Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) plans to auction Parcel M in August 2022, either by individual lots or by the whole. It is estimated the base
bid will be advertised at approximately $6 Million.
The island is outside of City limits but within the Area of Impact. The land use designation is the least intense residential designation in the Impact Area and is intended to guide
development away from unsuitable areas, to preserve ecologically sensitive and important recreation areas. This zone allows for the development of single-family homes on significant
acreage at a maximum density of one dwelling unit per ten (10) acres. However, Cougar Island has already been subdivided into 5 parcels. Each of these parcels, if sold, is subject to
Valley County’s Impact Area development codes and standards including Design Review/Payette Lake Shoreline Environs Zone and providing the required infrastructure for further development.
There is currently one single family home that leases the lot and the other four lots are undeveloped. Any new land use or building would need to comply with regulations and obtain
the necessary permits.
Valley County recently sent a letter to the Land Board regarding Cougar Island, which is attached.
Staff requests input from Council on the specific points they would like to include in the letter.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Provide feedback for letter. Authorize the Mayor to sign a letter to the State of Idaho Land Board regarding Cougar Island.
