West/Cedar Hill Subdivisions (456 Review)
Mr. Benish presented a brief staff report. He explained the Key West water system
had been contaminated and the Board of Supervisors has taken action to add Key
West and Cedar Hill to the jurisdictional area for water service.
Mr. Dotson asked how many other areas, outside the designated growth area, have
been included in the jurisdictional area and had water or sewer extended. Mr. Benish
• said there are numerous locations, particularly west of town, where jurisdictional area
has been extended beyond development boundaries. He said the Comp Plan
establishes a clear policy which says for jurisdictional areas to be approved outside of
designated development areas, the area must be adjacent to an existing line or there
must be a clear health or safety issue involved. He said this particular extension does
not set a precedent, particularly in consideration of the pollution concerns.
Mr. Loewenstein asked what capacity the line will have. Mr. Paul Shupe, Director of
Engineering for the ACSA, said this will be sized to provide the minimum fire
protection for the community itself. It will be a 12-inch line along the route. Capacity
for services, if there are requests along the line, will be incidental to the size. If there
are requests farther out, other considerations will have to be made at a later date.
In response to Mr. Dotson's questions, Mr. Shupe said it is less expensive to extend
water service than it is to extend sewer service.
Public comment was invited. None was offered and the matter was placed before the
Commission.
Mr. Benish said staff had received no comments from residents of the two
neighborhoods.
• MOTION: Mr. Dotson moved, Ms. Huckle seconded, that the Extension of the ACSA
Water Line to the Key West/Cedar Hill Subdivisions be found to be substantially in
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The motion passed unanimously.
