(Example: Ifit fifteen -lot subdivision is proposed and the subdivision lies within three hundred feet of an
existing water line, owned and operated by a public entity, the subdivision will need to be connected to
that water system.)
Smith said the planning board on June 5, 2002 recommended changes to the table.
He said the first change was to go from 0-20 lots within 100 feet of an existing public
water line and the second change was 101+ lots to 2,000 feet.
d. Notwithstanding the statements listed above, the County may deem it necessary
for health, safety, or for other public purposes to acquire, at the subdivider's expense, the
necessary easements and/or rights-of-way to facilitate the installation of public water
facilities and require that they be installed.
e. All required water line extensions shall include appropriate valves, hydrants, taps
and service to the property line of each lot as required by the standards of the provider of
service.
3. In addition to meeting all standards and regulations of their respective agencies,
water systems must contain water lines that are sized to provide adequate fire protection
as described in Section 406.1 of this ordinance. This provision shall not apply, however,
on cul-de-sac roads (with no future extension possible) of lengths less than five hundred
(500) feet or in cases where the main line of service to the proposed development is less
than six inches in diameter. In no instance, however, shall water lines be less than two
inches in diameter.
Mother amendment discussed by Smith was
Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment
Article VII Table of Area Yard and Height Requirements
(a) Notwithstanding subsection (h), in the R-20, R -A and R -R* Districts a minimum lot
size of 15,000 square feet may be permitted where either public water or sewer, or both
is provided. The lot sizes required for the various districts of this ordinance were drawn
based upon the assumption that adequate water supply and sewage disposal systems are
available to each and every lot. The lack of adequate systems for one or both facilities
may require larger areas or in some instances because Health Department standards
may not permit development as intended.
Smith said a change to this section had also been recommended. He said the
minimum lot size had been changed from 15,000 sq. ft. to 20,000 sq. ft. by the planning
board.
Commissioner Johnson asked for a clarification on the property owner hooking
onto the water line. Johnson said he understood the property owner would only pay if he
or she chose to hook on -- that the mandate was for the developer to run the water line.
He said there was no mandate for the property owner to hook onto the line.
Smith said this was correct.
Commissioner Bowles asked if fire hydrants would be required down the 2,000
sq. ft in subdivisions with over 100 homes, or if they were only required in the
subdivisions.
Smith said just in the subdivisions.
