i0
day of
Ridenbaugh Canal as a water feature using the right-of-way along the
canal as a pathway for residents within the subdivision, as well as for
the residents in the adjacent subdivision across the Ridenbaugh Canal.
Since the right-of-way for the proposed pathway actually is under the
Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District's control, the District would
need to give written approval to the applicant to allow the pathway and
fence within their right-of-way. Only if written approval can be
obtained by the District would the pathway and three rail vinyl fencing
be allowed.
