PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is requesting conditional use permit approval for the relocation and replacement of a 5,000-gallon wood water tank with a new 5,000-gallon poly tank of the same shape and dimensions as the previous wood one. The water supply for the property is from an existing well located approximately 30-feet from the rear property line and approximately 70-feet from the side property line. Please see the site plan in Exhibit A for the location of the well The old wooden water tank was located approximately 35-feet from the wellhead, as shown in the "Partial Aerial View" picture reference later in this report below, and was in need of replacement. The applicant moved and replaced the water tank per the suggestion of a well specialist that installed the new well. Please see the applicant's written narrative for further detail (Exhibit A). The applicant essentially relocated the new water tank closer to the well for pump efficiency purposes; having the well pump over a long distance creates a stress on the pump over time, thus, relocated the tank closer to the well seemed like the most practical approach when replacing the wood tank. "[~he applicant did not realize this was a Planning entitlement issue since she was replacing an existing tank only changing the location by approximately 35-feet. Purpose of Relocating and Replacing Tank 1. The applicant describes that the old wooden storage tank leaked substantially, thus impacting the efficiency of the existing pump. 2. The old well would not have been able to keep up the demand without the replacement of a more efficient water tank for irrigation and domestic use.
