Water Sub -element and Policy 5.8 of the Sanitary Sewer Sub -element). The modifications <br />would allow properties that lie outside the Urban Service Area to connect to centralized water <br />and sewer main lines under certain conditions, which would increase the number of properties <br />within 500 feet of a main line of a "looped" system to connect to water or sewer (along 66th <br />Avenue where a main water line is being installed between 8th and 12th Streets). He <br />recommended the Board approve the proposed text amendment and corresponding Ordinance. <br />Discussion ensued relative to the proposed policy criteria for connecting to water or <br />sewer, options, fairness, and costs of the property owner. <br />The Chairman opened the Public Hearing. <br />Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, sought and received further information <br />regarding whether this would cause urban sprawl, and if the extension of the fire hydrant would <br />be included. <br />Bob Grice, applauded the Board for quickly moving this item forward. <br />There being no other speakers, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. <br />MOTION was made by Commissioner Solari, <br />SECONDED by Vice Chairman Davis, to approve staff's <br />recommendation. <br />Chairman O'Bryan said he would support the motion, but his caveat was to ensure that <br />the 500 -foot distance was set upon operating criteria, and that extending beyond that point would <br />have a negative impact on the integrity of the water system. This generated further discussion on <br />the existing main fines that serve the overall utility system. <br />8K 144 PG 647 <br />December 3, 2013 12 <br />
