and will be changing even more in the future, and once we get <br />water and sewer out there, it may be more appropriate to <br />comprehensively rezone an entire quarter. <br />Commissioner Wodtke was concerned that water and sewer taps <br />out that corridor might have been figured at 8 units per acre, <br />and Commissioner Scurlock explained that there was no consistent <br />approach from property to property on how taps were reserved. <br />Attorney Brandenburg advised that there is a provision for <br />returning those taps; it is a revolving list and the individuals <br />are refunded the amount they initially paid for the tap when <br />there is someone else to buy it. When the County set up those <br />reservations, we were very careful to assure that no one thought <br />that by reserving a certain number of taps that they would ever <br />be guaranteed that number of units or the zoning to go with the <br />units.
