DEC 18 1985 Box 63 FA, III. Sources of Irrigation Water Council's recommendation was unclear and contradictory in that the recommendation was to allow supplemental irrigation water from - surface water management system lakes (which connect to the shallow aquifer), yet prohibited irrigation with water derived from the shallow aquifer. County staff deleted the part of the condition strictly prohibiting use of water derived from the shallow aquifer, recognizing that use of the lakes for supplemental irrigation should be allowed. County staff agrees with the Council staff that wording should be added to the D.O. to prohibit use of shallow aquifer wells for irrigation. °Minor Concerns IV. Sweeping of parking areas In considering Council's recommendation to require a weekly sweeping program, County staff was concerned about the enforcement and monitoring aspects of such a requirement. The adopted D.O. gives the County the right to require the developer to initiate a sweeping program in the event it is determined that the parking area drainage system requires it to function properly. The County will ensure that the design of parking facilities will not preclude the feasibility of initiating a sweeping program in the future, if needed. County staff feels that the sweeping program issue has been adequately addressed and that no changes to the D.O. are needed. V. Public access to estuarine recreational opportunities The County did not include was concerned that public system would be harmful to degrade the system as a positive contributions of ; be paramount. Council's condition 10(h) because staff access into a newly created estaurine the establishment of the system and would habitat for juveniles.

County staff feels that all recreational issues are ade cover CONCLUSION no es to the D.O. are neer require to the or a to The review of the adopted D.O. by Council's staff proposes changes or additions that could improve the D.O. County staff feels that the concerns raised in Council's recommendations have been adequately addressed in the adopted D.O. and were formulated in coordination with Council's staff. Changes and modifications to Council's recommendations were based on the previously described reasonings. Therefore, County staff feels that, although some changes can be made to improve the D.O., the Board of County Commissioners should direct the staff to attend the Regional Planning Council meeting to express the County's concerns. 98 M M W
