91 <br /> Approved 11/7/12 <br /> Chad Abbott: That is the reason there are required setbacks for wells. There is a required distance by the state that you <br /> have X amount of feet between the well. Once it goes from any horizon where the septic system is located into the well, <br /> the state has deemed that distance appropriate. <br /> Larry Wright: I am a quarter of a mile from where there was a leaking underground storage and people around it had to <br /> have water brought in. <br /> Chad Abbott: That tank was spilling chemicals versus affluent flows from a house, <br /> Michael Harvey: On page 33,Mr. Konsler expresses a lack of concern over the potential for a community well to impact <br /> adjacent wells. Also,data in his response on pages 27-32 on well contamination. <br /> Craig Benedict: The discussion of what type of hydrology we can put on another meeting. There is not the typical type <br /> of aquifer type of program in Orange County. We will provide more information by USGS to give you an idea of why it is <br /> difficult to make definitive determinations of water flow. <br /> Tony Blake: Utility is restricted to this subdivision,right? <br /> Chad Abbott: I would let the applicant speak to that. <br /> Jeff Akin: Aqua requires you to find a surplus on your property. Basically this issue is our risk of what happens with this <br /> project. We will have studies done. <br /> Rachel Hawkins: At what point will we know? Will we vote on this tonight? <br /> Chad Abbott: He is speaking to the amount of water we can provide to the residents in our subdivision. In Mr. Konsler's <br /> letter,he anticipates no impact from any wells drilled whether it be a community well or individual wells. <br /> Jeff Akin: My issue is that if you cannot get the flow for a community well,we will have to abandon that process. <br /> Peter Hallenbeck: What is the location of the well? <br /> Chad Abbott: In the center. <br /> Peter Hallenbeck: With that one well feeding all the houses from the center, if there is uniformity under is indeed as if <br /> each house had it owns well. With the caveat that if you had to choose ground water behavior and economic behavior, <br /> the wise person would not say a word. <br /> Michael Harvey: Reviewed findings of fact <br /> MOTION made by Maxecine Mitchell to accept staff findings regarding the projects compliance with Sections 2.2, 2.73 <br /> and 2.75 of the LIDO(page 36-40 of the abstract package).Tony Blake seconded, <br /> VOTE:UNANIMOUS <br /> MOTION made by Maxecine Mitchell to accept staff findings regarding the projects compliance with Section 7.14.2(b) of <br /> the UDO(pages 41-52 of the abstract package).
