Please describe your question or comment briefly:I am very concerned about this proposed proj ect and thus request that the Commission hold
a public hearing on this matter instead of proceeding pursuant to the so-called 'modifiedprocedure' being used here. This modified procedure only provides for public comment and
does not enable the public to learn more about this project from either the Commission,
Idaho Power or the developer, Avimor, LLC. The public needs more information on this
project in order to provide adequate and educated comments.
Some issues that need to be addressed include: what is the exact location for the
transmssion lines and facilities and whether Idaho Power and/or the developer has a legalrigt-of-way. If no right-of-way exists, how is Idaho Power and/or the developer going toproceed?
What are the potential impacts to wildlife, livestock and/or humans of the electromagnetic
fields put out by the transmission and substation facilities? What are any other
environmental impacts?
Is the funding agreement peculiar to this case or are new transmission lines and
facilities often funded in this manner (The developer fronting the money and then gettingpaid back by Idaho Power)? What are the potential ramifications to the taxpayers of this
funding agreement?
Is this project of sufficient size to provide power to the Avimor development at full
buildout or will Avimor, LLC need to apply for future increases in the size and strength
of the transmission and substation facilities? Will these facilities also provide power to
the other developments in that area - for example, the M3 and Kastera developments?
Thank you,
Judith M. Brawer

Please describe your question or comment briefly:
I am very concerned when Idaho Power commits to paying SunCor $4. 3million in 10 years.
This will directly effect my utility rates. In essence, I will end up paying for the new
substation if enough homes are not built. Considering the current housing slump, this is
a gamble that I am not comfortable with.

Please describe your question or comment briefly:
Idaho Power getting 4.3 million dollars to add a substation for Avimor sounds great --
what does not sound great is the fact that the 4.3 million has to be paid back. That
amounts to a huge increase for Idaho Power Customers. I am an Idaho Power Customer, and I
don t want to have to pay for this.

Do not run the utility lines on private property and if you have to work with the owners
to limit the impact to them even if it costs you a little more money.

Please describe your question or comment briefly:
I believe this arrangement with Avimor merits a public hearing, and will require moretime before any decisions are made. Furthermore, more information needs to be provided on
line. .. what are the right of way issues? what will be the electromagnetic effects on
livestock? this is an unusual funding set up, is it legitimate? will the costs incurred
by providing power to this development be spread over all rate payers in Idaho? Remember,
this is only Phase I... Avimor expects a buildout of 4000-6000 homes. There are too many
unanswered questions here. How can you possibly proceed without a public hearing?

Please describe your question or comment briefly:
First, I believe that $4.3 million is enough money that a true public hearing should beheld.
Idaho Power does have to pay the money back to Suncorp, and 685 homes won t generateenough profit to do it, so all Idaho Power customers will be faced with increased rates
because of this. It seems like a lot of money to go to an area where only 685 homes have
been approved. We don t know if more will be any time soon, and no 'other ' infrastructureis in place (water, roadways) to handle more homes than those. It seems Idaho Power is
agreeing to build this substation way too soon. That's a lot of money to gamble onmaybe' development--especially when we are pretty sure a lot of development WILL happen
in south Ada county. The foothills being destroyed by development is not such a surething.
I think the public needs more information about what this means, and exactly why we should
be the ones to pay for it.
