while improvements are being made to the sanitary sewer system within Jayker
Subdivision -Phase 1.
4) In no case will the City issue Certificates of Occupancy (CO) for any home,
building, or structure within the Jayker Subdivision -Phase 1 that received a

Phase 1 have been corrected and accepted by the City of Meridian OR all
downstream sanitary sewer system deficiencies from the home, building, or
structure applying for CO have been corrected and accepted by the City of

5) If all sanitary sewer system deficiencies within the Jayker Subdivision -Phase 1
