Mr. Swig advised that the heritage trees had been appraised, and the value of the trees that would be removed were included in the exl-iibii written by Ralph Usterling Consultants. The funds would be put into the Urban Forestry Fund. Mr. Swig advised that with respect to the joint Chrisman/B rozo sky well, the PUD established a method for having the Chrism alts stop using the well if ii is needed for domestic purposes by the Brozoskys. The PUD condition described the parameters of the concept to be developed at the time of the vesting tentative map. He noted that both the Chrismans and the Brozo skys have agreed that it would be easier to use generic tennis of when the well was capable of providing sufficient water, rather than trying to identify flow rates, capacities, or height of water in the well. Mr_ Swift noted that there was still a disagreement with respect to the use of the water, as noted in the alternative condition that Mr. Bro zosky presented to the Planning Commission previously. Mr. Broz_osky had suggested that the term "domestic use" he expanded to include watering livestock on his property, as well as the landscape around the housc_ Mr. Swift noted that the previous minutes did not have any conclusive definition of "domestic use," and believed that it would he appropriate for the CommissionZ to define that tenri. Staffs drag condition is based on a reciprocity of water use if water becomes scarce within the well_ I£the Srozo skys used the water for animal husbandry or landscaping, the Chrismans would have that opportunity as well. However, i£thc Brozoskys cease using the water for those purposes, and used it only for household purposes, the Chrismans would stop using the well water altogether, as required by the PUD. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Maas, Mr. Swift confirmed that if the well water became scarce, the Chrismans would use City water so that the Brozoskys may use the well water for domestic uses. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Maas, Mr_ Swift noted that scarcity was a difficult term to define. I-Ie noted that Mr_ Brozosky and Mr. Happ were satisfied to use the word "scarce." When a drought has been declared, it seemed reasonable to staff to institute a new set o£ criteria for the well's use, based on the concept that while sufficient water may be available early in the spring, it niay not be available later in the year. A discussion o£the Brozoskys water uses ensued. in response to an inquiry by Commissioner Maas, Mr. Swift confirmed that an existing condition of the PUD that states that the tentative neap must determine the parameters for how the Chrismans will stop using the well so that the Brozoskys may use it exclusively. He noted that the debate between the parties and staff addressed the definition of "domestic use," which was the language in the PUD condition. He added that the Planning Commission would resolve the definition of "domestic use," as well as any other paran-ieter for the Brozoskys' exclusive use of the well_ PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 9, 2003 Page 3
