Conditioning the project with this alternative would require the Chrismans to install a <br />two-inch permanent water line that would be located within the area on Chrismans' site <br />that will be dedicated to the City as the right-of-way for access purpose for future <br />development to the Brozosky site. In addition, the Brozoskys would install atwo-inch <br />water line on their property (for which the applicants would reimburse them) in order to <br />obtain City water service. The Brozoskys would, as required by the Financing Program <br />of the Specific Plan, pay for their share of the Specific Plan fee only when they <br />permanently connect to the City water. This condition would avoid creating an <br />easement in favor of the Brozoskys on the Chrismans' property as well as ensure that <br />City staff would not be required to travel onto private property to read a meter. <br />Because, however, this new condition as written does not eliminate any existing rights <br />that the Chrismans have to use the well on the Brozosky property, nor eliminate the <br />easement that the Chrismans have on the Brozosky property to access the well, the <br />Brozoskys are not satisfied with this alternative The Brozoskys would like the condition <br />to eliminate the rights of the Chrismans' to use the well and, by extension, to extinguish <br />their easement rights to the well. <br />The benefit of this alternative is that it will provide a solution that has the same intent as <br />the original condition by providing a temporary source of water in the event the existing <br />well should fail, does not create new easements, and does not require City staff to read <br />meters that would be located significantly away from public roads. <br />As with Option One, the Commission could find that the use of well water is not required <br />for irrigation purposes and, accordingly, recommend a revision to the conditions to <br />eliminate the right of the Chrismans to use the well on the Brozosky property (because i <br />would not be required for irrigation purposes) once City water service is available to the <br />Chrisman property. <br />Option 3 <br />As a third option, the Planning Commission may wish to recommend rescinding the <br />entire condition and not require the Chrismans provide any temporary water source to <br />the Brozoskys. This option would relieve the Chrismans of the obligation to install a <br />water line for the benefit of the Brozosky property. This option would maintain the <br />status quo with both property owners. <br />As with the other options, under this scenario the Planning Commission could <br />recommend that the Chrismans' right to use the well be abandoned upon water service <br />to the Chrismans' property. The Commission could find that the use of well water is not <br />required for irrigation purposes and, accordingly, recommend a revision to the <br />conditions to eliminate the right of the Chrismans to use the well on the Brozosky <br />property (because it would not be required for irrigation purposes) once City water <br />service is available to the Chrisman property. <br />Case No. PUD-OS-02M 18 Planning Commission <br />
