Chrismans of any well rights as there is no nexus between the development and any negative impact on the well water supply. The Chrismans have supported every staff reconamendation, including the one that in the event the well production falls below ten gallons per minute, the Brozoskys would have first priority to draw water from the well. Pursuant to the PUD, the Planning Commission was required to establish appropriate criteria for temporary reduction or cessation of the Chrismans' use when the well was not producing properly. The Planning Commission failed to create any criteria. He said the only time a storage tank would matter is if the capacity of the well fell below five gallons per minute. The Chrismans have already agreed that if the capacity drops below ten gallons per minute they would get off the well. The storage tank should not be an issue. He said the Chrismans and Brozoskys should have equal use of the well for farm animals and agriculture. Alternatively, the Chrismans would accept the staff recommendation that the developer provide a line with city water to the Brozosky residence, so they will be on equal footing with the Chrismans as far as the availability of city water. He said the staff report addressed issues of grading, dirt removal, retaining walls and the suitability of the site for the type and density of housing. He reminded Council the PUD was a result of a series of trade-offs, including the Chrismans giving up two of the twelve lots they were allocated in the Specific Plan in order to make the PUD more workable. He also reminded Council it was obligated to act in good faith under the Development Agreement previously executed. Ms. Ayala thought that a storage tank was unnecessary. Mr. Happ agreed. The Brozoskys may want one some day, but he did not think it was necessary and did not relate to the problem. Mayor Pico asked if the Chrismans would be willing to pay for a 2,400 gallon storage tank on the Brozosky property in lieu of running a water line to the property. Mr. Happ said they would, and if not, he would pay for it. Mayor Pico did not want the Brozoskys to have a significant burden and that the Chrismans have the water they need for agricultural needs. He felt if the Brozoskys were worded about an adequate flow of water, he felt the storage tank would solve that problem. Mr. Happ said the Chrismans were willing to work to solve the problems. There is no problem with well production. Mr. Campbell asked if the Chrismans were willing to pay for the water line to the Brozosky property?. Mr. Swirl said staff had suggested an alternative where a lateral line was mn to the Brozosky property. That would avoid the Brozoskys' having to pay connection fees and having to pay the local share of the infrastructure. If the Brozoskys were to tap the new water line to be built in the school loop road abutting his property at the bottom of the hill, the line would have to be much longer and would cost much more. He estimated a 2,400 gallon tank would be about 10' X 3' or 5' X 12'. Pleasanton City Council 10 08/19/03 Minutes
