RE: RZ 12-003 & CUP 12-010/ Rockcreek Apts.
Dear Jaycee:
OFFICE: Nampa 466-7861
SHOP: Nampa 466-0663
Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) requires that a Land Use Change Application be filed, 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 District's Nine Mile Drain courses through this
proposed project. The District's easement for the Nine Mile Drain at this location is a minimum of sixty
feet (60'), thirty feet (30') each side of the centerline (facing downstream).
However please contact the District directly to verify the width of easement necessary to operate,
maintain and repair the Nine Mile Drain. Please send revised plans showing exactly what proposed
encroachments, if any, will be within the District's easement and exactly how far.
This easement must be protected. Any encroachment without a signed License Agreement and
approved plan before any construction is started is unacceptable.
All municipal surface drainage must be retained on site. If any municipal surface drainage leaves the
site, the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) must review drainage plans. The developer must
comply with Idaho Code 31-3805.

RE: Land Use Change Application -Rezone 0.58 acre for ROCKCREEK APARTMENTS
Please note the District now rectuires three (3) sets of plans
Dear Mr. Brown:
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
