RE:
Blackstone/Coral Creek Subdivisions (A.K.A. English Gardens Subdivision)
-,-,-=._-"-'_ _,-;-____ -____~ -_",:-,_'--__~-_"O----'------- -_ ____-_
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council:
I write this letter on behalf of Paul Edminster of Projects West, Inc., who is the developer of
the above stated subdivisions.
Blackstone and Coral Creek Subdivisions were constructed at the southeast corner of Cherry
and Black Cat Roads. A lift station was constructed with the subdivisions, which pumps
sewage to an eJ>isting gravity sewer main. The intention of the lift station was to serve only
these two subdivisions and Pintail Pointe Subdivision. The lift station was considered
temporary by the City of Meridian and would be eliminated with the addition of the Black Cat
Trunkline.
It is my understanding that other developments are requesting to tie into the system
constructed and paid for by my Client. Mr. Edminster has no objection with the system being
utilized by others but feels he should be reimbursed for a fair portion of his cost.
The construction ofthe lift station was substantial and expensive. The lift station was deep
(as the sewer line from the south had to cross the 10 Mile Drain), there was 1800 linear feet of
4" pressure sewer main, asphalt patch back was required on Black Cat Road, and other.
associated items of work were required.
A late comers agreement was not originally requested for the lift station as we were instructed
that it was temporary and not for other properties to utilize. Mr. Edminster requests that a late
. comers agreement be prepared for the sewage lift station that would fairly distribute the cost
. . .
between the parties that are using it.
A further note of interest is that the temporary lift station was constructed on a c\lmmon lot
thatis owned by the Homeowners Association and the lift station has not been formerly
dedicated to the City of Meridian for ownership.
