I have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, for your information and
consideration as Conditions of the Applicant for final plat approval:
GENERAL COMMENT
1. Any existing irrigation/drainage ditches crossing the property to be included in this project,
shall be tiled per City Ordinance 11-9-605.M. Plans will need to be approved by the
appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral users association, with written
confirmation of said approval submitted to the Public Works Department.
2. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be
removed from their domestic service per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517. Wells may be
used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation.
3. Determine the seasonal high groundwater elevation, and submit a profile of the subsurface
soil conditions, as prepared by a soil scientist, with street development plans.
4. Provide a statement as to whether the pressurized irrigation system in this development is
to be owned and maintained by the irrigation district or the Homeowners Association.
5. Submit letter from the entity having jurisdiction over design and construction of the
pressurized imgation system. A letter of credit, cash, or appropriate bonding will be
required for these improvements prior to signature on the final plat.

6. Indicate on the final plat map any FEMA Flood Plains affecting the area being platted, and
detail plans for reducing or eliminating the boundary.
7. Submit to the Public Works Department verification that the net square footage of all lots
meets or exceeds the minimum 8000 square feet required in an R-4 Zone. The net square
footage shall be determined exclusive of streets, highways, alleys, roads, rights-of--way,
imgation easements and land which is used for the conveyance of irrigation water,
drainage water, creek or river flows. (Ord. 592, 11117/92)
8. Pleas address in writing, all items contained in this memorandum, both General and Site
Specific, and submit to the City Clerk's office before the February 18, 1.997 meeting of
the Meridian City Council. Prior to development plan approval, 3 copies of the revised
plat must be reviewed by the Public Works Department for compliance with the conditions
of plat approval.
SITE SPECIFIC COMMENTS
1. This final plat generally conforms to the approved preliminary plat.
2. Please submit a copy of the Ada County Street Name Committee's approval letter for the
Subdivision name, lot and block numbering, and street names. Make any corrections
necessary to conform.
3. Permanent perimeter fencing is required to be in place along the exterior subdivision
boundary and along both sides of the Hunter Lateral easement/lot line. The exterior
subdivision boundary fencing along the Ridenbaugh Canal shall be of anon-combustible
type. All fencing is to be in place prior to obtaining building permits. A letter of credit,
cash, or appropriate bonding will be required for these fence, items prior to signature on
the final plat.
4. Call out on the plat the existing 40 foot wide easement for the Hunter Lateral. The
boundary lines of the lots adjacent to the Hunter Lateral shall be adjusted out to the
existing easement line, unless Nampa & Meridian grants an encroachment agreement for
the area within their easement.
5. Is Nampa & Meridian rec~tive to the idea of them taking ownership and maintenance of
the lots created for the Hunter Lateral and Ridenbaugh Canal?. How are these lots going
to be improved (IE.. Compacted gravel surface...etc.)?

6. Add an arrow symbol to the plat legend that depicts front of house orientation. Place arrow
symbol on Lot 26, Block 6 towards S. Black Beauty Wy., and on Lot 1, Block 8 towards
S. Gold Bar Wy., and on Lots 10 & 12, Block 8 towards E. Seattle Slew St., and on Lot
4, Block 9 towards E. Triple Plum Dr., and on Lot 1, Block 9 towards S. Red Cloud Ave.
7. Lot 6, Block 9 doesn't meet the minimum 80 foot frontage required in an R-4 zone.
8. Developer shall construct the pedestrian path on Lot 5, Block 9. Path shall be fenced on
both sides with removable bollards placed on the southerly end along E. Triple Plum
Drive. The above improvements are to be in place prior to obtaining building permits.
A letter of credit, cash, or appropriate bonding will be required for these items prior to
signature on the final plat.
9. All street signs, road base, pressurized irrigation system, domestic water system (activated
fire hydrants), and the items mentioned in the above Site Specific Comment No. 3 & 8 are
to be installed prior to obtaining building permits.
10. Correct the subdivision boundary line bearing/distance error between the face of the plat
and the second page legal description. The discrepancy is in the 4th line of the legal
description body (S 40°22'33" W, 174.04') and the corresponding line on the face of the
plat (S 40°23' 15" W, 174,00').
11. Why are some of the corners cut off on a 45 ° angle, and some have 20' radius curves?
12. Add or revise the following note(s);
(2.) Building setbacks and dimensional standards in this subdivision shall be in
compliance with the applicable zoning regulations of the City of Meridian.
(4.) The developerand/or owner shall corrcply with Idaho Code Section 31-3805 or its
provisions that apply to irrigation rights.
(9.) (Revise if necessary pending favorable review by the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation

Imgation District per Site Specific Comment #4. )

County Highway District for heavy duty maintenance of drainage facilities.
(15 .) (Delete)
13. Why is the right-of--way width of E. Plum Drive 60 feet? Was this required by the Ada
County Highway District? Is this roadway going to have a collector status?, if so, isn't
there a restriction on direct lot access?
14. Remove the temporary turnaround shown on the east end of E. Triple Plum Dr. John
Priester, the Ada County Surveyor, has recently indicated that it is not desirable to show
these temporary turnarounds on the plats, because it is then a dedicated public right-of-
way that must later be vacated. Mr. Priester stated that the best solution to this problem
is to record an instrument, either prior to or after plat recordation, providing an easement
for ,this purpose. The document would have a provision that the easement would
automatically be rescinded once the streets are able to go through.
15. Revise the plat as necessary to the provide for tangent curves on the right-of--ways and
centerline of S. Black Beauty Way and E. Party Jet Street. We do realize that the
minimum centerline radius at this corner is 100 feet per Ada County Highway District's
design criteria, however we do not feel that designing the streets with curves that are non-
tangent, because of having to "fit" the minimum 100 foot radius, is a good sound design
alternative. There appears to be a couple of alternatives that would facilitate the design
change: (1) Seek a variance from the Ada County Highway District for a centerline radius
less than the prescribed 100 feet. (2) Seek enough area in the Hunter Lateral Encroachment
Agreement with the Nampa 8c Meridian Irrigation District to allow for the extra area that
would be required to fit the 100 foot radius (tangent) curve. Under this alternative, the
square footage of the lots can be calculated including the area within the encroachment
since it is usable to the property owner.
