To Whom It May Concern,
Representatives from the proposed Delano Subdivision, (Lot 3 Blockl, Jasmine Acres & 2 un -platted
parcels.......) have requested that 1 review their preliminary plat with respect to the existing easements,
irrigation pipes and related structures of the Parkins-Nourse #14 Irrigation Lateral, that may lie both within
and/or adjacent to the Delano Subdivision property boundary.
As the Lateral Manager for the Parkins-Nourse #14 Irrigation Lateral these past three years, I have
accumulated limited drawings, plans and documentation for the lateral. I have personally observed the
entire length of the lateral (sections that are above ground) and noted the approximate locations of
underground piping that last been installed over the past twenty plus years.
Initially, it is my understanding that the Parkins-Nourse #14 Irrigation Lateral piping, structures and
easements all lie to the north of the north boundary of the Delano Subdivision and may not be affected
by the Delano Subdivision construction. Upon reviewing the Delano Subdivision preliminary plat and
speaking with their engineers, (Civil Site Works, Boise), the following issues will need to be determined in
regulatory compliance or addressed in the final plat:
1. A pipe location survey along the northern boundary of the Delano Subdivision will need to be
conducted or researched to confirm that the existing Parkins-Nourse #14 Irrigation Lateral piping,
structures and easement do not lie within the Delano Subdivision property or identify any piping,
structure or easement that may lie within the Delano property.
2. The existing N. Dashwood Ave. roadway which is stubbed off at the boundary between the Alpine
Pointe Subdivision and the proposed Delano Subdivision may not have been constructed in
compliance with ACHD requirements as the lateral piping, that is assumed crossing under N
Dashwood Ave., is currently NOT serviceable on either side of the roadway by appropriate
manhole structures. This requirement may not be required by ACHD on residential road way
crossings? ACHD is responsible for the lateral piping under their roadway and side easements and
will need to confirm this potential requirement.

3. 1 have no documents that addresses this issue in Item #2, nor any documentation that confirms
the appropriate construction of the lateral piping under the roadway with respect to materials,
depth and inspections.
4. The Delano Subdivision preliminary plat notes an additional 10' PLN#14 and PUD easement on
the Delano side of the property line. I understand that this 10' easement is in addition to the
existing 15' easement located within the Alpine Pointe boundary, if the actual lateral piping,
structures and easement do in fact fie entirely within the Alpine Pointe boundary. A subsequent
piping location survey should confirm this understanding.
5. The N. Dashwood Ave. planned extension into the Delano Subdivision is noted as a "temporary
access restriction" road way (emergency vehicles). The key word is "temporary". Does the existing
piping and lack of service structures meet ACHD's requirements for a future change of use from
temporary use to standard thoroughfare use?
6. Given the fact that the Delano Subdivision is contiguous to the PNL#14 irrigation piping, the
developer may wish to investigate the potential cost effectiveness of connecting this new
subdivision to the PNL#14 as I believe the Delano Subdivision area is currently "attached" to the
lateral paralleling Ustick Rd., a third of a mile south of Delano. If this can be accomplished without
any detrimental effect on the PNL#14 existing users, this might well serve all concerned.
I will await any questions or findings in the matters as noted above.
Best......
