What development activity is Southfork Landing planning on the 80 acre island near the South Fork of the Payette River?

Southfork Landing’s Master Plan includes an 80 acre island on the Northwest corner of the property along the river. The Master Plan calls for 12 Estate lots to be built in Phase 6 of the project with a connecting bridge that spans the south channel where Southfork is collaborating with the Corps of Engineers and Trout Unlimited to improve the fishery habitat. Estate lot sizes will range from 1.5 to 6 acre estate.

In 1988, when FEMA completed the original floodway mapping on the Southfork of the Payette River, this 80 acre island that is situated on high ground was incorrectly included in the floodway map. Southfork’s ability to develop the 12 lots required FEMA to review a detailed engineering analysis of the island by Southfork’s engineers to determine whether or not the island is in the floodway. John Graves, a FEMA National Flood Insurance Program specialist, has confirmed that, after looking at the engineering analysis, FEMA has decided to move much of the island from the floodway to the 100- and 500-year floodplain. This will allow Southfork to proceed with the development of the 12 Estate Lots at some point in the future.
