6 applied. There may also be lots adjacent to University Lake or Cane Creek which existed prior to the adoption of watershed standards that have not yet been built on. The remedy available at this time is for the property owner to seek a variance of the setback requirements to the extent necessary to develop the property in a reasonable manner. The proposed amendment would allow a reduction in the septic and building setbacks on lots which were created prior to January 1, 1994 to the extent necessary to build on the property, provided that septic system and structures remain outside of stream buffers, and the septic system remains at least 100 ' from the reservoir (as required by the State mandate) . EXISTING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS AND PROPOSED AMENDMENT: 6.23.7 STREAM BUFFERS e) Minimum Buffer Width Required DISTRICT MINIMUM STREAM BUFFER WIDTH UNIV-CA The buffer width adjacent to streams shall be calculated for both Method A and Method B, and at any given point along the stream, the width of the buffer shall be the larger of the two. The same method shall be used to calculate the buffer around the reservoir itself. New structures shall be located at least 150' from the reservoir or outside of the stream buffer, whichever is greater; EXCEPT when the lot was created prior to 1/1/94 and it is shown that acolication of the 150' setback would render the lot unbuildable. In that case, the 150' setback may be reduced to the extent necessary to develop the lot in a reasonable manner, provided that the reduced buffer width remains at least as wide as the stream buffer. UNIV-PW The buffer width shall be calculated for both Method A and Method B, and at any given point along the stream, the width of the buffer shall be the larger of the two.
