Good afternoon Katie,
We have followed up with BOR and they don’t recall receiving a notification but if they had they would have passed
it along to PID. Please see the below email correspondence and let me know if this closes the loop for the city on
the outstanding item related to the BOR for our conditions.
Thank you.
Bonnie

Hi Dave,
You are correct with your description of the property as it relates to the west and south sides of the property. This
project also borders the Wilson Drain on its east side. The project requires a path along the Drain similar to the
path along the Elijah Drain in the Alante Homes at Spring Run project located north of Laster Street. We are
planning similar improvements along, and in some places within, the BOR R/W. The improvements will start 25’
from the top of bank for the drain. The most significant feature will be a bridge across the drain to connect to 41st
Avenue. This portion of the drain is designation as a Zone A Flood Hazard by FEMA. The flood plain is contained
within the banks of the drain. Our intent is to construct a corrugated metal pipe arch bridge that will span the
banks of the drain to eliminate its impact on the flood area.
I contacted Lupe Rodriguez at the BOR regarding comments on the project. She does not remember receiving a
request for comment from the Caldwell Planning and Zoning Department. She indicated since the drain is
maintained by Pioneer Irrigation District; she would have deferred to the district for any comments.
I have attached a copy of the Preliminary Site Plan.

Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks, Nate

Nathan,
I believe you are referring to the development north of Ustick Rd. and west of the Wilson Drain.
If I remember correctly, this development does not encroach upon and falls outside PID Facilities[ Lowline Canal]
and easements, therefore no review would be necessary. I recall there was some discussion with the City
concerning pump station delivery to this development which may involve PID approving a change in delivery point.
Otherwise, this development would impact BOR facilities only,
The private gravity Irrigation line running down Ustick is an active functional delivery to the properties East of
Wilson Drain, though It is not used very often.
Please give a call about 11 am this morning to discuss further if that works for you, otherwise we can set up a
Teams meeting for this afternoon or tomorrow.
Regards,
Dave Watkins

Hi Dave,
We had a hearing a couple of weeks ago for the project. One of the items raised by city staƯ was they have not
received a letter of review for Pioneer Irrigation District. I also have an issue regarding the GIRR that runs along
Ustick Rd that we need to discuss.
Let me know when you are available.
Thanks, Nate
