SUBJECT: Extension of Water and Sewer Outside of Policy Boundaries
Scothorn and Young Properties
DATE: April 20, 2005
Supervisor Ewing has been approached to sponsor a request which would consider
enabling two existing residences to have rights to the County's public water and sewer.
Both residences are presently outside of both the Urban Development Area (UDA) and
the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA); therefore, current County policy would
prohibit the residences from utilizing the public systems.
These two residences are located immediately adjacent to the Racey Tract (a.k.a.
Meadows Edge Subdivision), a recently approved rezoning and a pending master
development plan. Access to the residences is via the new development.
During the rezoning process for the adjacent Racey tract, these two residents voiced
concern that their existing private health systems are older and connection to the public
system would alleviate future environmental impacts associated with a failing system.
Via the adoption of the attached resolution, staff would present the request to the
Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS), and process this
Comprehensive Policy Plan ("Policy") exception.
Please contact staff should you have any questions regarding this resolution. Thank you.
