GIVING AN OPINION IN REGARD TO THE NUMBER OF WELLS AND NUMBER OF UNITS <br />THAT WILL BE PERMITTED ON LOTS. SHE FELT WE MAY NEED TO TAKE SOME ACTION <br />ON THIS AS IT RELATES TO THE 6TH AVENUE SEWER ALLOCATIONS AND REQUESTED <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS TO EXPLAIN FURTHER. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS REPORTED THAT WHAT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT'S <br />ATTORNEY HAS SAID IS THAT YOU CAN HAVE ONE WELL FOR FOUR UNITS, WHICH <br />WOULD GENERALLY BE INTERPRETED AS FOUR UNITS PER LOT, BUT THEY HAVE <br />SAID WHEN YOU HAVE S UNITS ON ONE LOT, YOU CAN HAVE TWO WELLS, EACH <br />SERVING ONLY FOUR UNITS. ATTORNEY COLLINS POINTED OUT THAT A UNIT COULD <br />CONTAIN MORE THAN ONE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING, AND DR. FLOODS OPINION <br />IS THAT IT COULD BE 4 SINGLE FAMILY UNITS IN ONE. HE CONTINUED THAT <br />YOU COULD END UP WITH A SITUATION WHERE YOU COULD TAKE A SMALL LOT, <br />AND IF ZONING AND DENSITY ALLOWED, YOU COULD DRILL TWO WELLS AND SERVE <br />S UNITS. IF YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF LOTS, YOU HAVE TWICE AS MANY WELLS, <br />AND IT LOOKS AS IF YOU ARE ASKING FOR TROUBLE. <br />.ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO THE BOARD <br />DISCUSSED THE PROBLEMS OF PROVIDING SEWER WITHOUT ALSO PROVIDING WATER. <br />IF A FRANCHISE IS GRANTED TO A PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY, THEN YOU CAN MUCH <br />MORE EASILY MONITOR THE WATER AND TIE IN YOUR SEWER CHARGES, THE SMALL <br />OWNER WHO WISHES TO PUT FOUR UNITS ON ONE WELL ON HIS LOT CAN STILL <br />OBTAIN THE SEWAGE ON 6TH AVENUE, BUT YOU COULD HAVE CONTROL OVER THE <br />LARGER UNITS BY RESTRICTING THE REQUIREMENTS THAT A PERSON MUST COMPLY <br />WITH IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR SEWAGE ALLOCATION. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS CONTINUED THAT WHEN THE BOARD ADDRESSED THE <br />QUESTION THE LAST TIME AND PASSED RESOLUTION 79-45 ON THE SEWER ALLOCA- <br />TION GUIDELINES, HE FELT EVERYONE WAS ASSUMING THERE WOULD BE ONE WELL <br />PER LOT. HE SUGGESTED THAT THE RESOLUTION COULD BE AMENDED TO SAY THAT <br />YOU WILL ALLOCATE SEWAGE TO A SINGLE LOT THAT HAS NO MORE THAN FOUR <br />SINGLE FAMILY UNITS ON IT SO A MAN CAN STILL PUT UP FOUR UNITS AND HAVE <br />HIS PRIVATE WATER SUPPLY, BUT HE CAN'T GET AROUND THE RULE BY PUTTING <br />UP 8 UNITS WITH TWO WELLS BECAUSE IF HE DOES THAT, HE WON'T QUALIFY <br />FOR SEWER. <br />'COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED THAT WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS <br />AVOID'EXTRA WELLS, AND THE ATTORNEY FELT THAT IS THE INTENT.
