Hello,
Please add the attached and the below email to the public record for Briar Ridge Subdivision. He says he sent the letter
to the Clerk’s office a month ago but who knows! Regardless, we’ll get it in the record now.
Thank you!

Joe,
I think this might have originally started a couple years ago and they might have started a piping agreement with
the BOR, but it was never finalized that I know of. If that is the case, they should have all the documentation from the
BOR to back it up one way or the other. Bottom line is, Boise Project does not approve of this without that BOR
agreement being in place.

The United States' McBirney Lateral lies within the boundary of the above-mentioned
location. The easement for this canal 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 the federal easement 25 feet both directions 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.
The Boise Project does not approve landscaping including trees and/or shrubs (other than
grass or gravel) within its easements, as this will certainly increase our cost of
maintenance.
All fences/pathways must be just off the edge of all Boise Project easements.
Easements must be a flat drivable surface the whole width of the easement.
Parking lots, curbing, light poles, signs, etc. and the placing of asphalt and/or cement
over Project facility easements must be approved by Boise Project Board of Control prior
to construction.
Project facilities and/or easements that parallel, and are within and/or intended to be
within road right-of-ways due to any development of this property must be relocated
outside of road right-of-ways. The easements of Boise Project facilities will remain the
same unless agreed upon and/or approved with written permission from Boise Project
Board of Control.
The construction of any roadway crossings must be conducted only during the non -
irrigation season when the canal 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 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.
The piping and relocation of any Lateral, Canal and/or Drain must be reviewed and
approved by the Project and the Bureau of Reclamation, prior to any plans beim
approved, and is (to include all appurtenant boxes and/or structures) and must be
warranted by the landowner for a period of (5) five -years. The Warrantee
Agreement must be secured prior to ANY disturbance of that facility. A relocation
agreement must also be procured through the Bureau of Reclamation prior to any
construction within the above-mentioned easement.
Boise Project Board of Control must approve any requests and/or relocation of delivery
points prior to construction.
Storm Drainage and/or Street Runoff must be retained on site.
NO DISCHARGE into any live irrigation system is permitted.
Local irrigation/drainage ditches that cross this property, in order to serve neighboring
properties, must remain unobstructed and protected by an appropriate easement.
Should there be any small (neighborhood) irrigation ditches on this site, the developers
and/or landowners will be obligated to protect them and allow water to pass to
downstream neighbors.
This development is subject to Idaho Code 31-3805, in accordance, this office is
requesting a hard copy of the irrigation and drainage plans.
Whereas this property lies within Boise-Kuna Irrigation District it is important that
representatives of this development contact the BKID office as soon as possible to
discuss a pressure system prior to any costly design work. If applicable, the irrigation
system will have to be built to specific specifications as set by the District / Project.
Boise Project Board of Control must receive a written response from the Boise-Kuna
Irrigation District as to who will own and operate the pressure irrigation system prior to
review and approval of an irrigation plan by Boise Project Board of Control.
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
Statues, Title 42-1209.
Future preliminary and final plats must call out the Project easements and the plats must
also note, which lots have surface irrigation water rights and which lots do not.
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 or contractors not following the
plans.
If you have any further questions or comments regarding this matter, please do not
hesitate to contact me at (208) 344-1141.
Since y,
