Request for Extension of Final Plat of Copperfield Division 7
Copperfield Landing Property Fund, LLC
December 22, 2025
Chubbuck City,
Copperfield Landing Property Fund is requesting a 6 month extension on
the 2 year approval of the Final Plat for Copperfield Division 7.
Division 7 has the majority of the infrastructure completed. This includes
sewer, water, electrical, curb, gutter, and asphalt. The civil contractor, A+
Construction, has been completing the punch out items that were
addressed with Chubbuck City from the inspection at the completion of
the infrastructure.
We are requesting the extension to allow us the time to finalize the details
with the City that need to be included in the Development Agreement. The
primary focus that is being addressed is pertaining to the city park that will
be constructed in the southeast corner of the development. We
understand that Devin is no longer with the city. The terms of the park
construction for Division 6 and Division 7 had been discussed and agreed
upon with Devin.
This extension would allow Copperfield Landing Property Fund and
Chubbuck City to finalize the verbiage that pertains to the city park and
include it in the Development Agreement.
Copperfield Landing Property Fund would like to record this plat as soon
as possible. It is in our best interest to wrap up the terms of this portion of
the Development Agreement so that we can record.
We appreciate your help and value the working relationship with Chubbuck
City.
Best Regards!
Signed
Title (Copperfield Landing Property Fund, LLC)
