REQUIREMENTS — EASEMENTS AND ENCROACHMENTS <br /> 1. Encroachment Agreements are required for any existing encroachments or <br /> proposed improvements within the current or requested District easement. <br /> 2 The District may require that its easements, rights-of-way, and fee title <br /> property be fenced to District Standards. The need for fencing will be <br /> evaluated on a case by case basis. This cost shall be borne by the <br /> Developer/Landowner. <br /> 3. Access gates and cross-fencing that does not impact District operations and <br /> maintenance and are not burdensome on the District may be permitted under <br /> an Encroachment Agreement. <br /> 4. For agricultural lands that continue to be farmed in the manner they have <br /> historically, the District shall make available a consensual lien process to <br /> defer the cost of fencing until such time as the parcels are sold. <br /> 5. Existing District facilities within a public road right-of-way shall be <br /> relocated into a right-of-way or easement dedicated to the District. <br /> 6. Standard Easement widths for District facilities shall be: <br /> Main Canals 100 foot centered on canal <br /> Canals/Drains 60 foot centered on canal/drain <br /> Pipelines 30 foot centered on pipeline <br /> Pipelines adjacent to roadways 20 foot <br /> Pipelines adjacent to PUE 15 foot <br /> Pump Sites 40 foot square centered on pump <br /> 7. Easement widths for joint projects shall meet the above minimum easement <br /> widths plus any additional easement width that may be required based on the <br /> specific project uses or as approved by the Board of Directors. <br /> 8. If an existing District facility is not centered on the property boundary <br /> between two properties, the District may require an easement width based <br /> on the distance to the centerline of the District facility. <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS <br /> 1. The Developer should provide private irrigation easements for said properties <br /> to insure that existing downstream users can have access to irrigation water <br /> and can irrigate or continue to irrigate. <br /> 2. The Developer should provide private drainage easements for the benefit of <br /> upstream parcels that have historically drained across newly created parcels. <br /> 3. If, upon review, the District determines that parcels created in a Parcel Map <br /> or Subdivision cannot irrigate efficiently, based on poor grading and planning, <br /> Revised February 2017 <br />
