Commissioner Allen: Jennifer, what do other properties like this do? Do they get recyclable water or what would be the alternative? Hagen: Typically, they are hooked up to the City's water system with the water meters. Depending on the drought, there are restrictions to the City's guidelines so you have to follow with that. One of the options is to go to the wastewater treatment center and haul that in themselves. That is one option. Otherwise, they just would be required to hook up to the City's water meter and follow the City's water regulations. With lots like this all of the landscaping that's installed is required to meet the drought tolerant landscape requirements so they already have a step up on a lot of these existing single family homes in the City because there is no lawn. Commissioner Allen: Thank you. One more question —so if they went out to get a permit to drill their own well, would that well likely have the same impact the existing one would in terms of impacting neighbors potentially? 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.
