RE: PINE 43 APARTMENTS CZC MODIFICATION REQUEST
To Whom It May Concern:
On behalf of our client, Pine Development Partners, LLC, please accept this letter in support of
their request for the modification of an existing CZC to allow for a portion of the Jackson Drain
to be piped on the Pine 43 Apartments property. The request is being made to improve the
safety and accessibility of the site as well as conveyance of water in the Jackson Drain.
Existing Certificate of Zoning Compliance
A Certificate of Zoning Compliance was issued on July 31, 2018 for the Pine 43 Apartments.
The official file number for the permit is Pine 43 Apartments (phase 1) — A-2018-199 (CZC,
DES.) The CZC included landscape plans and a site plan for the Pine 43 Apartments showing
the segment of the Jackson Drain that runs through the Pine 43 Apartments property as open.
If our request for a modification of the existing CZC is approved, the existing site plan and
landscape plan in the CZC permit will be replaced with updated site plans depicting the piping
of a portion of the Jackson Drain.
Proposed Piping of Segment of Jackson Drain
Our client is proposing to pipe an approximately 150' segment of the Jackson Drain on the
western side of the Pine 43 Apartments property. This area of the Jackson Drain is being piped
to improve accessibility between the northern and southern areas of the site, and to improve
the safety of the areas that are adjacent to the Jackson Drain; there is currently a very steep
slope adjacent to the Jackson Drain in the west portion of the site.
The piping of this segment of the Jackson Drain will also greatly improve the property owner's
ability to maintain the vegetation bordering the Jackson Drain. The portion of the Jackson Drain
a 250 S. Beechwood Avenue, Suite 201, Boise, ID 83709-0944 p 208-376-7330 f 208-323-9336 w www.jub.com
that is not piped will have the bottom of the drain raised to reduce side slopes and to improve
water flow in the drain.
Please contact me at 376-7330 if you have any questions regarding this application.
Sincerely,
J-U-B ENGINEERS, Inc.
