Jay Coles, City Clerk: OPERATING AGENCY FOR 167,000 ACRES FOR THE FOLLOWING IRRIGATION DISTRICTS NAMPA-MERIDIAN DISTRICT BOISE-KUNA DISTRICT WILDER DISTRICT NEW YORK DISTRICT BIG BEND DISTRICT r . P „ -* >l Sub.No.3 File No: 2017-0086 NY -337-001-00 TEL: (208) 344-1141 FAX: (208) 344-1437 The United States' Cunningham Lateral lies within the above-mentioned location. The easement for this lateral is held in the name of the United States through the Bureau of Reclamation under the authority of the Act of August 30, 1890. (26 Stat. 391; 43 U.S.C. 945) The Boise Project Board of Control is contracted to operate and maintain this lateral. We assert this federal easement 20 feet southwesterly and 22 feet northeasterly of the lateral's centerline. Whereas this area is for the operation and maintenance of our facility, no activity should hinder our ability to do so. With development of this property, our easement shall remain a flat, driveable surface so that we may conduct our day to day operations without any obstructions. The Boise Project does not approve landscaping (other than grass) within its easements, as this will certainly increase our cost of maintenance. The construction of any roadway crossings must be conducted only during the non - irrigation season when the lateral is dewatered. In any case no work shall take place within the easement before the proper crossing agreements have been secured through the Bureau of Reclamation and the Boise Project Board of Control. Utilities planning to cross any project facility in order to service this development must do so in accordance with the master policies now held between the Bureau of Reclamation and most of the utilities. In any case no work shall take place within the easement before proper crossing agreements have been secured through both the Bureau of Reclamation and the Boise Project Board of Control. Crossing agreements must be secured and signed by all parties prior to March 1St of each year. A time schedule for the construction to be done during the non -irrigation season must be approved by Boise Project prior to any activity within Project easements. No construction will be allowed within the easement boundaries of the Boise Project Board of Control facilities after March 15th of each year. However, on a case by case basis, overhead utilities and utilities boring underneath a Project facility may be allowed after March 15th if reviewed and approved by the Boise Project. Storm Drainage and/or Street Runoff must be retained on site. Local irrigation/drainage ditches that cross this property, in order to serve neighboring properties, must remain unobstructed and protected by an appropriate easement. Whereas this property lies within the New York Irrigation District, it is important that representatives of this development contact the NYID office as soon as possible to discuss the assessments of the newly formed lots. Written response from the New York Irrigation District is required. Wording on the preliminary and final recorded plat needs to state that any proposed and/or future usage of the Boise Project Board of Control facilities are subject to Idaho Statutes, Title 42-1209. This development is subject to Idaho Code 31-3805, in accordance, this office is requesting any copies of the irrigation and drainage plans. Whereas this development is in its preliminary stages, Boise Project Board of Control reserves the right to review plans and require changes when our easements and/or facilities are affected by unknown factors. If you have any further questions or comments regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at (208) 344-1141.
