Q. 60x US a CALDWEU— 000 830H NAMA TMJ. 'I.RER s-T r1 i �I MAY g 2003 Please be advised there is a delivery point in place for the property being proposed for developianent. Pioneer Irrigation District's main concern is that all water rights within the Dtstrict be honore(, and that access to irrigation water be provided to every parcel of land. Delivery paint for this property is gate 38 — 25.1 Lateral. All existing easements, right-of-ways, and other means used to honor the water rights to downstream waterusers must be maintained and allowed to continue to exist. It is imperative that no one disrupt the delivery of water to a downstream water user. Any lateral, canal, drain or outer means used to deliver water, along which there is a right-of-way or easement, must have time same kept clear of all obstructions at all times, No fences, structures, or other materials are allowed on any of the District's easements or right-of-ways AND theY must be recorded on the final plat. 25.1 Lateral has a 16 foot awd3ent from top of bank, as weU as the Lowline canal. Any discharge or run-off into a federal drain must meet the approval of Mr. John Caywood of the Bureau of Reclamation. Pioneer irrigation District does not assume any responsibility for such an approval. His telephone number is 334.1463. Attention: Dixie Drain (100 toot easement —50 ft from center) Please be advised that IF it is the intent of the developer to put in a pressurized irrigation system and have Pioneer take over said system once the development is completed, the following steps are necessary: 1, Said system must be put in according to the current Standards and Specifications of Pioneer Irrigation District. 2. The developer must contact the office of Ear! Masora & Stanfeld to make arrangeanents for on site inspections to be made at various points of construction. An engineer from Earl Mason & Stanfield must be involved in the inspections as they are the enjoneers for Pioneer irrigation District and are familiar with the requirements of Pioneer. P4�11 3. The engineering fees will be the responsibility of the developer and/or owner, itmd a deposit must be paid in advance to Pioneer Irrigation District before the District: will authorize Earl Mason do Stanfield to review engineering plans. Estimated costs far the District's engineering fees are $500 plus $5.00 per lot. If that amount fails to cover the costs involved due to the necessity to revise plat maps, etc,, additional costs will be billed out and paid prior to the District's signing off on the final plat. 4. If it is the developers plan to have Pioneer Irrigation District take over a pressurized irrigation system for the subdivision, it will be necessary that the pump site be dekgned at the District's current point of delivery. Service to the subdivision from the pump site must have its own private delivery line from the delivery point to the subdivision. 5. A Maintenance Agreement must be written up and recorded at the expense of the Developer and/or owner. All Maintenamce Agreements must be reviewed b) and approved by the District's Attorney, Scott Campbell, of Moffatt Thomas in Boise, The least expensive way to have a Maintenance Agreement drawn up which meets the deeds of the District is by having Mr. Campbell himself draw it up. Otherwise there will be two attorney fees for said developer and/or owner to pay. Mr. Campbell nmy be contacted at 345-2000. A deposit of $1000.00 must be paid to Moffatt Thomas to .:over the attorney fees before the work can begin. Any unexpended portion of the deposit will be refunded. 6. Earl Mason and Stanfield must walk through the site and develop a punch list to be completed prior to recommending that Pioneer Irrigation District take over the pressurized irrigation system. If it is NOT the intent of the developer to request Pioneer Irrigation District to take over a pressurized irrigation system within their completed development, then the above six steps do not apply to their planned development. Any proposed development which will have downstream waterusers using gravity flow irritation must develop their irrigation system in a manner which will insure the downstream wateruse rs the ability to acquire at least as much irrigation water for gravity flow irrigation as what they received prior to any development or construction taking place. The gravity flow irrigation system m►kst be totally separate from the proposed pressurized irrigation system within a subdivision. 2 NOTE: This letter does not authorize any construction to commence until all the necr%vary agreements with Pioneer Irrigntiou District have been executed and recorded. if you have any questions, please feel free to call. Sincerely, � 4 '74 Mark F. Zirschky Assistant Superintendent Cc: Scow Campbell - Moffatt, Thomas, Banttt, Rock & Fields via fax 385-5384 A L- Memorandum To: Debbie Geyer From: Ben Weymouth, Assistant City Engineer 4V Re: SUB-88(P)-03, Family YMCA Preliminary Plat Date: June 2, 2003 �,20a r �FE.. 2003 1 r The Engineering Department has the following comments on the above referenced preliminary plat: 1. Development Plans — Prior to commencing construction, plans must be prepared by the developer's engineer and approved by the City Engineering Department which include the following items: a. Street section and alignment (including curb and gutter); b. Sidewalk (5-foot width on border streets (collector/arterial) and 4-foot width on other streets); c. Sanitary sewer (per City and DEQ requirements); d. Potable water (per City and DEQ requirements); e. Stormwater facilities (per City Policy); f. Street lighting (at intersections and maximum spacing of 350 feet and must meet Idaho Power design standards plus conform identically to the lamp, ballast, and sensor switching equipment used by Idaho Power); g. Street signage (per City and MUTCD requirements); h. Irrigation system (per Pioneer Irrigation District requirements). 2. The developer is to employ a responsible design professional, preferably the engineer of record, to oversee and inspect construction, to perform and/or observe all requisite testing of completed facilities, and to certify that improvements have been constructed according to approved plans and in compliance with applicable City, State, and Federal standards. 3. Prior to commencement of construction in any dedicated right-of-way, or construction of any improvement intended for dedication to the City or connected to a City facility, the City Engineering staff is to be notified. This preferably will take place in a pre -construction conference scheduled by the engineer of record in which all appropriate personnel and utilities are present. Appropriate City personnel are to be notified in advance of all testing (including compaction, pressure and coliform, etc.) and given opportunity to be present during conduct of the testing. The engineer of record or his designated representative is to witness all tests and a Page 1 of 3 PA-2 log of inspection visits and testing results is to be kept by the engineer of record or his representative. 4. As noted previously, provision is to be made for the disposal of stormwater drainage in accordance with the City Stormwater Management Policy. A copy of this policy is available upon request. The engineer of record is to provide calculations, which indicate that the assumptions in his stormwater drainage plan comply with the requirements of the stormwater policy. For any off -site discharge, written approval from the agency responsible for the receiving water body is required before final plat approval. 5. During the design phase of this project, the developer or his engineer is to contact Pioneer Irrigation District to ascertain all existing upstream drainage rights and downstream irrigation rights that need to be maintained across the property. Appropriate facilities shall be provided to convey irrigation and drainage water across the property to take care of these offsite needs. There is to be no discharge of irrigation return water into the subdivision storm water system. A letter is to be obtained from Pioneer indicating their concurrence with the design and facilities that preserve these existing rights. 6. The development is to include a non -potable water pressure irrigation system. The design of this pressure irrigation system is to be reviewed and approved by Pioneer Irrigation District and a letter obtained indicating their approval of the design. This letter of approval must be completed and submitted to the City before final plat approval. This requirement presumes that the system will be operated and maintained by Pioneer Irrigation District unless the station is only intended to serve the YMCA site. 7. The High Line Canal flows southward and then westward through the property crossing over the Dixie Drain in the process. The Dixie Drain flows through the property in a northeast to southeast alignment and the 25.1 lateral runs along Indiana Ave. The appropriate easements and/or right-of-ways for the drain, lateral and any other irrigation facility shall be determined and clearly indicated on the construction plans and on the final plat. Construction across or re- routing of these facilities is subject to approval by Pioneer Irrigation District. 8. The preliminary plat does not accurately depict the alignment of the High Line Canal. The proper alignment should be shown on the final plat. 9. The 25.1 lateral will need to be relocated as part of the widening of Indiana Ave. Relocation of this lateral is subject to approval by Pioneer Irrigation District. 10. Rights -of -way for the interior streets shown on the Preliminary Plat are consistent with City Standards. Indiana Ave. (minor arterial) should have a minimum one-half right-of-way width of 40 feet and Ustick Road (principal arterial) should have a minimum one-half right-of-way width of 45-feet. A note shall be placed on the Final Plat indicating that all rights -of -way are to be dedicated to the public. 11. The future alignment of Illinois Ave. is adjacent to the westerly boundary of the proposed development site. The applicant will be required to dedicate a minimum right-of-way of 56-feet along this boundary line. Also, the applicant will be required to construct street improvements per City standards along Illinois Ave. with the future development of this lot. 12. Any approaches on Indiana Ave. or Ustick Road will be required to comply with ACHD intersection spacing standards at a minimum. Page 2 of 3 13. A note shall be placed on the final plat stating that no individual lot will be allowed to take direct access to Indiana Ave. or Ustick Road. 14. The applicant will be required to dedicate easements for any utilities to be constructed and dedicated to the City. The final plat will need to show all existing and proposed easements associated with the development of the subdivision. 15. All street, sewer, water, fire protection, and street light facilities must be dedicated to the City. Some conveyance facilities for stormwater drainage may be eligible for dedication to the City. 16. Construction of dedicated facilities is to be performed by an appropriately licensed public works contractor. 17. Prior to approval of the final plat, subdivision facilities must be completed or an appropriate construction security provided. There may be temporary restrictions to the obtaining of building permits, even with acceptable construction security, depending on fire protection, emergency service requirements, and City approval of the sanitary sewer system. All facility construction must be complete before occupancy will be allowed in any residence. 18. Upon recordation of the plat, the Engineering Department is to be provided with a reproducible Mylar copy of said document, suitable for blue line reproduction. 19. The location of sewer and water service, including sizing of mains, providing of easements, frontage construction, and offsite construction are to be decided during review of improvement plans. The site will be required to comply with the Dixie Interceptor Sewer Study and the Water Master Study. Existing sewer and water facilities are adjacent to the site in both Indiana Ave. and Ustick Road. The applicant should be aware that development of this site requires construction of a portion of a major sewer interceptor. 20. The applicant will be required to extend the proposed dead end fire line to the west boundary of the site for future connection into waterline in Illinois Ave. in order to loop the system. 21. The final plat drawing should indicate that stormwater detention/retention basins are to be placed in common lots in accordance with the referenced Stormwater policy. A note should be placed on the final plat indicating that all areas designated as common areas are to be operated and maintained by some type of owners association. 22. In accordance with City Code, street side improvements are required in any public right-of-way adjacent to the subject property. Improvements are to include curb and gutter, sidewalk, paving (one-half width plus seven and one-half feet of pavement including gutter), streetlights (if not already present) and sewer and water mains. 23. The Engineering Department has reviewed the traffic study submitted by the applicant for the original site option, and agrees with the trip generation that is projected. It is the Engineering Departments recommendation that the Developer be required to provide an updated study showing the impact of the new development on the intersection of Indiana Ave. and Ustick Road and the intersection of Indiana Ave. and Linden Road. Page 3 of 3 DATE: June 2, 2003 TO: Steve Hasson, Community Development Director FROM: Douglas Brown, Assistant Chief 1 Fire Marshal SUBJECT: Comments for Caldwell Planning & Zoning Commission June 11, 2003 Meeting The Caldwell Fire Department (CFD) offers the following comments regarding the following cases to come before the Caldwell Planning & Zoning Commission on June 11, 2003: Case No: SUP-189-03 Applicant: Cosme Tapia Project: Taco Wagon Location: 423 Main Street The CFD typically does not get involved code -wise with "mobile" equipment, in this case a mobile food vending apparatus (aka: taco wagon). Our concern about this type of business, and we have several in Caldwell, is that these mobile food vendors are not assigned a fixed address, since they are "mobile" use. Even if a mobile vendor is allowed to occupy a lot we would not assign them an address. We have provided some addresses for temporary "structures" placed short-term on lots, such as for shaved -ice stands or coffee kiosks, but these are structures without wheels and are therefore fixed, not mobile. The CFD does not believe we should assign fixed addresses to mobile vendors. Because mobile vendors do not typically have any structure in which persons can enter (food is vended from windows in the vehicle) there are limitations on applicability of the fire code. At the very minimum we would request that such mobile food vendors have a 2A:40BC rated fire extinguisher in their vehicle. If they do any deep -fat frying or grease -emitting cooking operations within the vehicle, then we would highly recommend that they have an automatic hood and duct fire extinguishing system installed. (We have a mobile food vendor trailer that is a semi- permanent fixture at Caldwell High School, on school property. In that case we required an automatic hood and duct fire extinguishing system.) In this particular case (Tapia) we would have a concern that combustible materials, including fencing materials, awnings, canopies, etc. be kept a reasonable distance from the taco wagon. 1 PA- t Case No: ANN-81-03, SUB-88(P)-03 and SUP-188-03 Applicant: Caldwell Family YMCA Project: Health and fitness center Location: W. side of Indiana Avenue, north of Ustick Road The CFD has met with other city staff and the developers of this project and have discussed several items of concern regarding this project. It is our belief that the Applicant will mitigate all concerns as the project proceeds with most concerns being identified during the building plan submission process. The CFD supports the Applicants requests for annexation, subdivision and special use permit and finds this project a wonderful addition to the city.
