RE: ID PUC Case No. UWI-O6-
Dear Mr. Wyatt
.... . '
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to discuss water service issues with
me. I appreciate and understand that water is a high priority with all developers in the
Treasure Valley and you and your staffs' expertise in this matter is very helpful.
Per our February 20 2007, telephone conference, Kastera LLC is submitting to United
Water in writing a request for water services to Kastera s Trailhead Community in the
North Ada County Foothills. Kastera LLC will be making application with Ada County
for development ofthis project. We desire United Water service for our Trailhead
Community.
Kastera LLC was in negotiation with the City of Eagle and surrounding neighbors to the
Trailhead Community for an annexation path. This path did not materialize and as such
the City of Eagle is not able to provide water service to our project. Kastera LLC has
requested, in a letter dated February 15 2007, to the City of Eagle, a withdrawal of both
our Annexation and Rezone Applications immediately (letter to Eagle is included as
attachment to this letter).
For the benefit of all parties involved, Kastera LLC will not discuss any annexation or
water service requests from the City of Eagle, Idaho for this specific project. We realize
that United Water has requested an expansion of its service area to include Kastera
Trailhead Community from the Idaho Public Utilities Commission and as such Kastera
agrees that it makes sense to coordinate with United Water on providing water service to
our project.
Again, we thank you for your time on this matter and we look forward to moving forward
with United Water on this exciting project.

Dear Mayor and Council Members:

Trailhead development submitted to the City of Eagle, Idaho in December of 2006 .
Kastera would also request that the application along with application fees be returned by
mail to

Eagle, ID 83616.
Kastera would like to thank the City of Eagle and its staff for all the hard work and
commitment offered in trying to negotiate an annexation path in an attempt to get
Trailhead into the City of Eagle. We also hold no fault to Eagle for the unfortunate
unraveling of negotiations concerning the annexation path and Kastera eagerly looks
forward to a future date when the opportunity may present itself to work together on joint
interests.
