Summary:

The applicant has submitted a Final Planned Development Overlay to construct a water reservoir on the above legally described property for the purposes of improving the Chapel Lane Water Association’s water system and to increase fire flows.    This item was continued at the February 20, 2014 Planning Commission meeting to the March 6, 2104 Planning Commission meeting due to a lack of quorum.  Subsequently, the applicant has submitted a revised site plan identifying a new location for the proposed water tower and a decrease in height from 57 feet to 36 feet.  The applicant is proposing to move the water tower approximately 35 feet up the hill and approximately 80 feet further south on the property.  In addition, the applicant has submitted a water design report showing that a water tower is needed as a part of the overall water system improvements in the Chapel Valley water service area.  In particular, the water tower in conjunction with other improvements will increase water storage capacity and increase fire flows in the Chapel Valley water service area.  Staff has also received correspondence from the neighborhood indicating concurrence with the new proposed water tower location and decrease in height from 57 feet to 36 feet.
