issues identified in the wastewater system layout apply to water service, with regard to <br />crossings of the /WR water resource area and City parkland. Referral comments from Parks and <br />Open Space (POS) staff object to the proposed utility impacts through the City park land. The <br />alternative site plan resolves any concerns about utility impacts through park land by <br />eliminating the development on the eastern portion of the property. <br />The applicant's August 22, 2012 testimony notes that EWEB submitted a letter dated August 8, <br />2012 stating that it had no objections provided the applicant met 4 conditions. The applicant <br />stated that it would meet those conditions. The hearings official, however, found nothing <br />about water availability, which was a factor that the staff report considered. Therefore, the <br />following condition of approval is appropriate. <br />Prior to final subdivision approval, the applicant will be required to obtain a "Letter of <br />Water Availability" from EWER, which typically involves the design approval and <br />improvement bonding with EWER. <br />(2) Sewage <br />Staff confirms that an eight-inch public wastewater line runs through the western portion of <br />the site, within an existing public utility easement and within the northerly portion of the <br />existing West Amazon Drive right-of-way. <br />The applicant's written statement responds to this approval criterion as follows: "See plans for <br />documentation of proposed sewer service." Sheet L11 of the applicant's plans shows the <br />western portion of the site being served from the existing public wastewater system, with <br />extensions proposed primarily within the streets (West Amazon Drive, Senger Lane, West <br />Morning Drive, Daylight Drive, and East Morning Drive). The applicant's plans also show <br />wastewater service being extended within proposed public utility easements (PUE) outside the <br />rights-of-way, as needed to achieve gravity service (i.e. the back side of Lots 27 through 32 of <br />the 74-lot site plan). This segment of wastewater pipe cannot be omitted in preference for <br />those lots to include individual private pumps to the adjacent street, however, because this <br />same section of the system is also needed to provide wastewater service to the lots on East <br />Morning Drive (Lots 39 through 49 of the 74-lot site plan). As discussed previously, with regard <br />to easements, this portion of the public wastewater system proposed outside the streets, south <br />of West Amazon Drive, also involves crossings of the /WR water resource area. The conditions <br />recommended above specific to easements would also address these wastewater service <br />concerns. <br />(3) Streets and <br />(4) Sidewalks <br />The applicant's written statement confirms their intent to comply with these standards: "As <br />shown on the plans, the applicant proposes to develop West Amazon Drive on the city owned <br />Hearing Official Decision (PDT 10-2, CU 11-1) 25 <br />
