RE: Shafer View Terrace Sub. FP H-2021-0056
Southside of Meridian Rd Between Amity and Lake Hazel
Boise- Kuna Irrigation District BK- 66 B
McBirney Lateral 34+30, 45+10
Sec. 31, T3N, R1E, B.M.
City Clerk's office, Sonya Allen:
The United States' McBirney Lateral lies within the boundary of the above -mentioned property.
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
the federal easement of 25 feet both directions of the McBirney Lateral 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 left a flat drivable surface.
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-
way due to any development of this property must be relocated outside of road right -of --way. 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 1 sc 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 151h 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 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 DISCIIARGE 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 Al
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 full-
size 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 fixture
usage of the Boise Project Board of Control facilities are subject to Idaho Statues, Title 424209.
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 even during the construction phase.
If you have any fiu-ther questions or comments regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me
at (208) 344-1141.
