"~ "flippantly. estimated the gallons to be around 1,200. He noted that a horse can drink anywhere from five gallons in the winter to 35-40 in the summer, d nding on the heat and how hard they get ridden. He was hesitant to estimate another ballp k figure on how much water is pumped because he has not fully tested the water system. e did acknowledge the water level of the spring was greater in the autumn; he said he has n t seen a drastic drop in the water level. He explained that he just put the spigot in about thT weeks ago and felt there was plenty of water in the area. David Glenn, 5650 Foothill Road, stated he is speaking on behalf of e Preserve the Ridgelands. He presented to the Commission and Recording Secre copies of a memorandum dated April 16, 1992, addressed to the Council and PI ning Commission from the City Manager, in regard to approval of the lot line adjustment be een the JoellGreist property and the A-M Homes property. He felt this would give som background information to his comments. He noted that even the entire docume t did not mention that a significant portion of Tehan Creek and a natural spring are included n that lot line adjustment. Mr. Glenn stated he had contacted the Planning Dep ent and consequently, Mr. Swift visited the site with him and then wrote a staff report to t City Manager, which indicated the lot line adj ustment is in conformance. Mr. Glenn continued to express his concerns about the matter, and fi t the biggest source of water is being demolished by Mr. Joel's actions. He stated all the pi ing and installation of the water system had been installed without permission from the City He expressed further concerns about there being no guarantees as to who would control th water in the spring. Mr. Glenn summarized his concerns: (1) Ms. Sorenson had not bee notified of the water diversion; (2) Applicant did not follow the required guidelines as put forth by staff conditions; (3) If the flow of the water is diverted, how would that a ect health and safety factors, particularly that of Ms. Sorenson? He thought many mistak s had been made and that hydrological studies should be done in order to not compound th problem. Chairman Hovingh asked Mr. Swift if there had been any discussion n PUD-89-13 about the spring. Mr. Swift said there had not been discussion about the sprin . He responded to Mr. Glenn's comment that there had been no notice given to the neighbor regarding the lot line adjustment hearing. He stated there is no requirement that any noti whatsoever be given on a lot line adjustment; however, that hearing was held before the C ty Council.. He said the City has gone far beyond the required regulations as to what is n ssary in a lot line adjustment. Lynn A. Sorenson, 4432 Foothill Road, said she understood what Mr Swift said about it not being necessary to give notice of a lot line adjustment. However, sh felt that she should have been given notice as she had easement rights on property that w transferred. She felt she had an interest and should have been notified. She called attentio to the letter given to the Planning Department which stated her opposition to the applicatio for proposed water Planning Commission Minutes July 8, 1992 Page 16
