Dear Planners:
Joint School District No. 2 (dba West Ada School District) has experienced phenomenal student growth
in the last ten years. Nearly every high school, middle school, and elementary school throughout the
district is operating at or over capacity. Approval of the Biltmore Estates Subdivision No. 2 will have an
impact on school enrollments at the elementary, middle school and high school levels in West Ada
School District. Based on U.S. census data, we can predict that these homes, when completed, will
house 24 school aged children.
West Ada School District supports economic growth. However, growth fosters the need for additional
school capacity. Revenue support from developers of new residential subdivisions for the purchase of
the school sites necessary to serve the proposed subdivision is required. West Ada School District
estimates the revenue required for the purchase of future school sites is $830.00 per new home
constructed. The approval of Biltmore Estates Subdivision No. 2 will create the need for $24.070.00 in
revenue to purchase the school sites this subdivision will require. In lieu of these sources of revenue,
the district will accept the donation of land appropriate for a school site. Such a site would need water
and sewer service available, and prior to the commencement of construction, the district will need to
pass a bond issue for the construction of schools.
Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school as it may be necessary to bus
students to available classrooms across the district. We ask that you require the developer to provide
safe walkways, bike baths and safe pedestrian access for our students. School capacity is addressed in
Idaho code 67-6508. Joint School District No. 2 is currently operating beyond capacity. Future
development will continue to have an impact on the district's capacity.
Sincerely,
Jan Horning Ph.D.
Assistant Superintendent
West Ada School District

If all storm drainage is retained on-site there will be no impact on Nampa & Meridian
Irrigation District (NMID) and no further review will be required.
However, if any surface drainage leaves the site, the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District
(NMID) requires that a Land Use Change Application is tiled for review prior to final platting.
Please contact Suzy Hewlett at 466-7861 for further information.
All laterals and waste ways must be protected. The developer must comply with Idaho Code
31-3805. It is recommended that irrigation water be made available to all developments
within the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation .District (NMID).

RE: Land Use Change Application — Biltmore Estates No. 2
Please note the District now requires three (3) sets of plans
Dear Shari Stiles:
Enclosed please find a Land Use Change Application for your use to file with the Irrigation
District for its review on the above -referenced development. If this development is under a
"rush" to be finalized, I would recommend that you submit a cashier's check, money order
or cash as payment of the fees in order to speed the process up. If you submit a company
or personal check, it must clear the bank before processing the application.
Should this development be planning a pressure urban irrigation system that will be owned,
operated and maintained by the Irrigation District, I strongly urge you to coordinate with Greg G.
Curtis, Water Superintendent for the Irrigation District, concerning the installation of the
pressure system. Enclosed is a questionnaire that you must fill out and return in order to initiate
the process of contractual agreements between the owner or developer and the Irrigation
District for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the pressure urban irrigation system.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call on me at the District's
office, or Greg G. Curtis, at the District's shop.
Sincerely,
Suzette G. Hewlett, Asst. Secretary/Treasurer

RE: FP -15-009 BILTMORE SUBDIVISION 2
The Idaho Transportation Department has reviewed the referenced final plat application for the Biltmore
Subdivision 2 site south of Victory Road and west of SH -69 (Meridian Road). ITD has the following
comments:
1. ITD has no objection to this project.
2. The traffic study identified the need to improve the Harris Street intersection. Meridian City and the
applicant are reminded that this improvement will require an ITD permit. ITD will reassess the
intersection, traffic conditions and the needed improvements at the time of the application.
If you have any questions, you may contact Shona Tonkin at 334-8341 or me at 332-7191.
Sincerely,
