Subject: Fwd: Irvine Sub. 1 Final Plat Staff Report
City Council Members,
Due to my past experiences with the Planning Department and their reports to the City Council,
I do not have the confidence that my requests and concerns will be shared on their final report to
the Council at tonights Final Plat approval for the Irvine Subdivision. Therefore, I am
forwarding copy of my response I sent to the Planning Department yesterday In hopes that they
will be considered before the final plat Is finalized. I will be attending tonight's meeting should
there be any questions.
Thank you,
Jerry Stevenson

Sonya,
Thank you for providing the final plat report. I have 3 Items for consideration. and you may
have already considered my first request in 7e, but I do not have any drawings to refer to where
LoU, Block 3 is located.
1) I request the solid vinyl fence be extended throughout the stubbed street to the back of my
east property line. When adjoining R8 with small livestock operation, I need all the protection and
privacy I ean get. This should also be considered a safety issue with small children. I have no
plans for any development of my property in the near future.

2) Comments from the second #7 really fires me up and sends me through the roof. Idaho Code
42-1207 statute has been violated when this same applicant buried the previous ditCh to Silverleaf
Subdivision, taking away my established access to irrigation. letting this same applicant that has
only owned this property for 1 year determine water rights for someone he has a bad relationship
with is like letting a fox guard the hen house. Knowing that their is a water dispute
between developer and land owner, I believe it would be in the best interest to postpone any
recommendations or decisions to approve or deny final plat until this dispute is settled. This would
force both parties to resolve the issue. Kevin Amar has refused all of my phone calls and refused to
return any ealls. A demand letter has been sent to Kevin Amar and he has failed to respond to this
water issue. By postponing or denying the final plat, the applicant would be encouraged to deal
with this issue in a timely manner. It appears that the applicant is expecting to receive approval
Tuesday night. which will buy him additional time before he has to deal with current Water issue.
3) After reviewing final plat plan, Mike Coles pointed out that a 6 inch pressurized irrigation stub
to the NW corner of my property. Not shown on the plans Is the 1 ineh service line that finally got
installed for the south side of my property. It was previously agreed verbally (Kevin Amar, Mike
Harris and myself) that the existing service location would remain, but the service point will be
relocated off the Irvine main line in place of the Silverleaf main line. I had requested them to put
this in writing so this does not become an issue next year. I have failed to get this in writing, it is
not on plans, but this is in everyone's Interest to document this before we have another case of
amnesia. By providing irrigation in the plans does not relieve the applicant's responsibility
to replace my access to irrigation for this season.
4) In closing, I ask that you drive by this Irvine property and note that he is not complying with
city ordinance. This 38.5 acres is filled with 3 to 5 foot Kosher, Canadian Thistle and Goatheads
(puncture vine). These are all weeds that have gone to seed that drift onto neighboring properties
and into the irrigation ditch which effects all irrigators downstream. The code enforcement officer
has been contacted.
