I live in the Shadow Mountain subdivision directly across highway 340 from the proposed development. I support the rezoning if it truly means moderately priced single family homes will be built. The only concern I have is the stated 'irrigation available" provided by a "12 inch pipe" under highway 340. This gives the impression there is a 12 inch pipe's worth of available irrigation water when this is not the case. I've lived in this neighborhood since 2019 and have been taking over much of the neighborhood management of the irrigation ditch providing our subdivision and several others. Redlands Water & Power does not manage water to the fore mention pipe. The water in that "12 inch" pipe comes from an 8 inch pipe off one of Redlands Water & Power's main ditches at gate #154. The 8 inch pipe off gate #154 is typically only half filled at the location where it splits toward the property in question. Also, given the elevation of the property to be rezoned and the elevation of where the irrigation water passes under highway 340, a pump station would be required to get the water to the property.
