source is not available, asingle-point connection to the City of Meridian's domestic water

lots receiving engineered backfill.
4. T'he design of drainage areas shall ensure that water is retained only during 2S-yeaz storm
events for a period of time not to exceed 24 hours.
S. Street signs are to be in place, water system shall be approved and activated, pressurized
irrigation system approved and activated, drainage lots constructed, perimeter fencing installed,
and road base approved by the Ada County Highway District prior to applying for building
permits. All development improvements shall be installed and approved prior to obtaining
certificates of occupancy. A letter of credit or cash surety in the amount of 110% will be
required for all fencing, pathways, landscaping, pressurized irrigation, sanitary sewer, water,
etc., prior to signature on the final plat.
6. All landscaping shall be installed as depicted on the landscaping plan submitted as part of the
Final Plat application.
7. Sanitary sewer service to this site will be via a temporary lift station pumping to an existing
gravity sewer main located in Overland Road. The lift station is currently under construction as
part of Phase I. Applicant will be responsible to construct lateral sewer mains to and through
this proposed development. Subdivision designer to coordinate main sizing and routing with
the Public Works Department. Black Cat trunk development fee of $1,500.00 per dwelling

required prior to signature on the final plat map by the City Engineer.

indicates that, white the current existing total supply in the zone can meet this increase in
domestic demand, it is unable to meet fire flow requirements in the area under maximum
day demand conditions. The new well is expected to be completed at the end of the year.
This will provide needed supply on the west side of Meridian Road. Approval of
additional phases of Bear Creek Estates, beyond Phase I, or other developments within
