27 We recommend that the Council support adding a clarifying statement to define the University Lake Watershed Area as including: * a primary requirement for a minimum of 5 acres per dwelling unit, with up to S 2-acre lots (or an equivalent overall density) allowed in parcels which were recorded as of October 2, 1989, and allowing development of lots less than 5 acres which were recorded as of October 2 , 1989 . * impervious surface limits of 4% for 5-acre lots and cluster developments, and 6% for 2-acre lots, and * prohibition of extending public sewer service into the watershed except to address a public health hazard or upon agreement by all joint planning jurisdictions; not permitting community alternative wastewater systems, with a study to be completed by April, 1991 on whether to allow such systems outside the most critical area of the watershed; and with restriction of public water service pending study and a report to be completed by April, 1991. The Joint Planning Land Use Plan amendments as drafted by the County staff for the February 28 public hearing include options of either 5 acres per dwelling unit or 2 acres per unit with stormwater detention ponds. The amendments as drafted for the public hearing are included on the attached pages numbered 11 through 18 from the public hearing agenda materials. We recommend the 5-acre per unit option with clarification that impervious surface limits are to include 4% for 5 acre lots and 6% for 2-acre lots. Regarding wastewater disposal, the County staff's draft amendments state that policies on restricting public water and sewer service are under consideration pending studies. We recommend the amendments set forth the restrictions on public water and sewer service as policies to be in effect. The question of whether to extend public water service would be studied as proposed by the work group in October. CONCLUSION Attached are resolutions regarding changes in the Joint Planning Agreement and Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan. Resolution 17 would approve an amendment in the Joint Planning Agree- ment to define a University Lake Watershed Area in place of the University Lake Water Quality Critical Area now referred to in the Joint Planning Agreement. Resolution 18 would approve Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan changes including the primary requirement for 5 acres per dwelling unit and 0 restrictions on impervious surface and on public water and sewer service as discussed above.
