The applicants and I have reviewed the staff report for the project referenced above and have the
following comments regarding the proposed condition of approval:
Site Specific Condition of Approval 2.1.1 in Exhibit 8:
2.1.1 Applicant shall be required to loop the proposed water system to the existing water main in S.
Locust Grove Road via an extension through Lot 1, Block 1, and stub an 8" diameter main to the end of
the east leg of the "snoopy" turnaround for potential future extension.
The applicant feels that the existing water system is adequate to serve the nine proposed residential
home lots without construction of the requested 8" water main through Lot 1, Block 1. The
requirement to construct an additional 8" water main places undue burden on this project solely for
the benefit of future developments. In lieu of installing a new 8" water line as requested, the
applicant proposes to dedicate an easement to the City for purposes of constructing and maintaining
a water main in the future. Other projects have recently been approved in the City of Meridian where
only one water source was provided.
We respectfully request that the condition of approval be modified accordingly.
Thank you for your consideration of the application. if you have questions or require any additional
information, please let us know.
Sinc rely,
Ben Thomas, PE
