Hagen: It would. I'm not aware of any new well permits that are being issued at this time and the cost of a new well from my understanding is extremely high so it's not something that's commonly done and I'm not aware of it actually happening anywhere else in the City at this time except for existing wells. Commissioner Allen: Thank you. Houston: From what little I know about it, there's no prohibition against drilling a well and getting a permit to do that. Depending upon your depth, it may be anywhere from $25,000 to $30,000 to drill a well. Those numbers I've heard, so we'd like to keep it. Chair Ritter: There's an easement to get to the creek from Street A that's in there. I just wanted to clarify, that's on Lot 1? Hagen: Yes, they've also included a second easement. They have one access easement that's going to be here from the driveway that they can get all the way through, but if they need be as part of the agreements that they have between all of the parcels, they're going to have a secondary access easement in here. Commissioner Balch: ...and one from the other side. Hagen: Yes, on the other side of the creek, the church will be able to maintain it from the north side as well. Houston: The easement purpose is of mutual benefit so if there were any real problems the property owners are probably much more affected by this than the church who's way up high and wouldn't be affected by a flood or anything that happened to the creek, so to get into their creek you have the church kind of go through our property to get to the creek on that side and then vice versa. We can get into their creek for any emergencies we have, so it's a mutual easement that's beneficial to all. Chair Ritter: Okay, no further questions. Thank you. Houston: Thank you very much. Chair Ritter: Okay, anybody else who would like to speak, please bring your yellow card up. I have one speaker card for this Diane Kolb? Diane Kolb: I live on Dublin Canyon Road; the Lester property. I have a question. When we got City water, Pleasanton said we had to cap our wells. If we got the City water, the wells had to be capped. We had livestock and we capped our wells. This project, why is there a project of them keeping their well if they're going to have City water? What happens? Why were we mandatorily required to get rid of our wells, yet there's a well. That was my main concern because you made us cap ours. When we used City water and when the creek goes dry, it's our water that feeds the livestock and I don't understand why we had to close ours. It was 2 wells. Thank you. I just wanted to bring that up. EXCERPT: DRAFT PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, July 13, 2016 Page 3 of 8
