The following will be required for development of the proposed project:
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL- PATHWAYS
1. The project developer shall design and construct multi-use pathways consistent with the location and
specifications set forth in the Meridian Pathways Master Plan Map and Master Pathways Plan Document
Chapter 3). Any proposed adjustments to pathway alignment shall be coordinated through the Pathways
Project Manager. See Interactive Pathways Map
2. Priorto final approval the applicant shall dedicate a public access easement for a 10'wide multi-use pathway
parallel to and south of the Fivemile Creek(Drain)on the north edge of the property. This pathway will also
double as maintenance access to the Fivemile Drain for Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District. Ensure that
no fences are proposed that would block irrigation district maintenance access.
Easements shall be a minimum of 14' wide (10' pathway + 2' shoulder each side). All pathways shall be
located outside of irrigation district easements unless permission is specifically obtained from the governing
irrigation district. Easement need only be dedicated for multi-use pathways that lie outside the public ROW.
Use standard City template for public access easement. Submit all easements online through Citizen's
Access Portal.
3. Construct multi-use pathways per paving section based on existing site conditions as recommended by
project civil engineer in accord with UDC 11-3A-8 and 11-313-12. Prior to final approval the applicant's
engineer shall provide written documentation that the pathway segment was constructed per the
recommended specifications.
4. The owner (or representative association) of the property affected by each public access easement shall
have an ongoing obligation to maintain the multi-use pathway.
5. 6'high open vision fencing shall be installed between pathways and(live)water irrigation canals and laterals
as detailed in the Meridian Pathways Master Plan,Chapter 3, page 3-5. All other fence details per UDC 11-
3A-7. The Fivemile Pathway is NOT live water,so this condition does not apply.
6. Project developer shall be responsible for obtaining license agreement and other permission(s)as required
for constructing within irrigation district easements.
7. Should any discrepancy exist between these conditions of approval and the requirements of the irrigation
district, the developer shall work with Pathways Project Manager to achieve a pathway design that meets
both City and irrigation district objectives. City requirements as stated shall not(nor are they intended to)
override those of the irrigation district having jurisdiction over the project area.
