of the area proposed as common open area is now proposed for drainage detention.

RE: Baldwin Park Subdivision, Coleman Lateral & the White Drain
Dear Nathan,
Per our meeting I am modifying the preliminary plat to provide a 50-foot wide lot along our south boundary that
will be utilized for the White Drain. Within the 50-foot wide lot we will provide a 15 to 20-foot clear surface
along the north property line of that lot and the actual drain itself will reside south of the clear area. The
Settlers Irrigation District will share a 10-foot wide maintenance road along our south boundary that will be
utilized by both the Meridian Public Works for their sewer line and the Irrigation District for the White Drain.
As we discussed at our meeting the Coleman Lateral will be piped from the east property line to the first public
street, Hyde Park Avenue, in a common lot. This segment will be within a 12-foot wide common lot with 9-foot
easements on the adjacent lots. The easement and common lot will total 30-feet. The segment constructed
along the Hyde Park Avenue right-of-way to the south property line will be located at the edge of the public
right-of-way, in the front ofthe adjacentlots. Those lots will havea 15-foot wide easement in their front yards
to accommodate the easement. Where the lateral is piped south of Yosemite Drive, it will lie with in a 30-foot
easement (15-feet on either side of a lot line).
The City of Meridian has requested that I provide a letter, prior to tonight's headng, outlining our meeting in
regards to the above-mentioned easements. I understand that you are busy this week preparing for irrigation
entering the canals. Will you please sign this letter below and fax it back to me so that I may have a response
agreeing to the easements prior to tonight's hearing.
If you require additional information you may contact me a 344-9700 and I will provide it to you immediately.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
