RE: Land Use Change Application -Meridian High School -Addition
Please note the District now requires three (31 sets of plans
Dear Mr. Sievers:
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: CUP12-015 Meridian High School
The Idaho Transportation Department has reviewed the referenced conditional use application
for the building addition to the Meridian High School on West Pine Avenue. ITD has the
following comments:
1) ITD has no objection to the conditional use application. The project has little impact on
regional transportation volumes and does not require any new access to the State Highway
System.
If you have any questions, you may contact Matt Ward at 334-8341 or me at 334-8377.
Sincerely,
