RE: Sterling Ridge Subdivision – Revised Preliminary Plat
Dear Mr. Frans,
This letter is to provide clarification on comments previously received as well as to explain revisions to
the subject project. Responses and clarifications are as follows:
Sheet PP1
1. This entrance should be the same as R-810E, only widened evenly from the centerline for
as wide as you want the landscape island to be.
Acknowledged.
2. Bring vertical curb off Joplin and into Parapet. Transition to rolled curb on Parapet right
before the Parapet TBCPC at Over Hang St.
The vertical curb off of Joplin has been continued to the TBCPC at Overhang St.
3. Use vertical. curb around landscape island.
The use of vertical curb around landscape island is not necessary as the road will have a
crown down the centerline. The flow of water will be directed elsewhere. The curb
around the island will be Extruded Curb otherwise known as vertical curb with no gutter
per ISPWC SD-701A.
4. Provide width of proposed island.
The 10’ TBC-TBC proposed island has been properly dimensioned on the street section.
5. Change to show dimension from TBC-TBC, both sides of the island.
TBC-TBC dimension is now shown.
Sheet PP2
1. Provide 56' of r/w for Marble Front.
Clarification 7-30-21: We are proposing that the ROW width for Marble Front Road be
the same as a city local road which is 53-feet. Per CHD4 we are proposing to widen the
existing gravel road from one lane to a two lane gravel road that is 30-feet wide along the
frontage of the project.
2. Property lines do not match County records. Revise to match.
The property lines are in accordance with the current boundary line adjustment.
3. CHD4 has a 1916 deed for r/w for Ware Road. Please review with CHD4 and provide
written documentation that CHD4 is okay with you designing lots to the centerline of an
existing roadway. If approved by CHD4, you will need to complete the vacation process
PRIOR to this pre-plat being heard by any City hearing bodies.
Clarification 7-30-21: The lots have been to 26.5-feet from the CL of Ware Road to
provide ½ of the standard city street ROW. Furthermore, an additional common lot
690 S. Industry Way, Suite 10- Meridian, Idaho 83642 – Phone (208) 275-8704 – Fax (208) 342-5353
buffer is provided in accordance with city code for double fronting lots. Standard
improvements for a local road section are shown.
4. Show clear accommodation for the relocation of the 100 Lateral through the property.
Cannot be located within the public r/w.
Clarification 7-30-21: The 100-Lateral is going to be moved south and piped as part of
the Mandalay Ranch Subdivision. The 100-Lateral will be extended on that same
alignment westerly as part of the Sterling Ridge construction. This approach is desired by
the Pioneer Irrigation District.
5. Provide and show access from the out parcels fronting Marble Front Road to the interior
roadway system of this development.
Clarification 7-30-21: The out parcels are served by Marble Front Road as verified by
CHD4, and Marble Front Road is being widened to improve access to these parcels as
part of this project.. Therefore, additional accesses are not proposed. An access is
provided to the far northeasterly parcel to the subdivision.
6. The entrance on this sheet doesn't match the following sheet (doesn't show the landscape
island). Revise to match. The landscaped island will need to be it's own lot common lot
owned and maintained by the HOA.
The landscape island has been revised.
7. Align access point with the already approved access point of Mandalay Ranch.
Access point along Joplin now aligns with Mandalay Ranch Subdivision.
8. Contact Six Mile Engineering to obtain the preliminary design and r/w plans for this
RAB and overlay it onto this drawing. Staff must be able to verify that the layout of the
lots will not have to be modified by the RAB design.
Six Mile Engineering’s RAB design has been overlayed into the preplat drawing.
Additional Clarification: The westerly entry to Joplin has been revised to the location of Ware
Road.
Sheet PP3
1. All PI is required to be constructed within the roadway. See the City Engineering Dept.
Webpage for a copy of the CMID specs. Follow T-308 for roadway location
PI has been relocated to the street per T-308.
2. Where does the FM discharge?
The force main is to discharge into the nearest gravity sewer manhole near the entry to
Mandalay Ranch Subdivision. This location is dependent upon the progress of the
subdivision to the south, Mandalay Ranch Subdivision. Ideally, this subdivision will be
complete with the phase directly south of Joplin, however the force main may need to be
piped to the nearest manhole in Middleton Road.

3. Show the PI mainline throughout the development and the location of the proposed
Pressure Irrigation Pump station. Follow standard drawing T-308 for utilty locations
The pressure irrigation pump station is located in Block 10 lot 2 and a note has been
added to the general notes on sheet PP2.
4. All sewer mainlines shall be designed to be on centerline of all roadways. Revise utility
layout prior to next submission. Follow standard drawing T-308
All sewer mainlines have been relocated to follow the centerline of all roadways per T-
308.
5. There is no existing sewer in Middleton Road. You can complete a public records request
on-line to get a copy of Mandalay Ranch overall site utility plan.
Clarification 7-30-21: The force main is proposed to discharge into the nearest gravity
sewer manhole at the entry to Mandalay Ranch Subdivision. This location is dependent
upon the progress of the subdivision to the south, Mandalay Ranch Subdivision.
6. The Joplin 12" mainline needs to tie into the Middleton Road 12" mainline. Mandalay
Ranch is required to extend their 12" water main down Middleton Road to the
intersection. If Sterling Ridge starts before Mandalay has extended this line to the
intersection it will be the responsibility of Sterling to ridge to extend the line from
wherever in Middleton Road it's located at that time through the Sterling Ridge north
boundary.
Comment noted.
7. Once you've overlaid and shown the proposed RAB please relocate the GIRR line to be
located outside of the r/w through the corner. GIRR lines can't be located within any
public r/w (interior, Joplin, Middleton, Ware, RAB).
The gravity irrigation line has been relocated.
8. Avoid the crossover of utilities around corners like the water and sewer are doing here.
Keep the water one side, the PI and storm drain on the other. Typical for all corners
Crossover utilities have been avoided where possible.
9. Show the extension of a 12" domestic water mainline along the Middleton Road frontage.
Per T-308, the water main corridor falls outside of the site’s boundary line. The
developer is aware that they may be required to contribute to the waterline extension.
10. Do the arrows next to the water mainline show the sewer mainline flow direction? If so,
please move the arrows so they're beside the sewer mainline. Changing the sewer line
style to include arrow may work too.
The arrows depict the proposed finished grade slope direction. The arrow has been added
to the legend to be clearer.

11. Keep front and rear lot line easements. Remove all interior lot line easements. Typical for
all lots.
Rear and front lot line easements are shown and all interior lot line easements have been
removed.
Thank you for your time in reviewing this project. If you have any questions or additional comments
please feel free to contact me.
