Mr. Chairman, IÓm very impressed with your knowledge about the water system. Were you on
<br />the Water Commission, by any chance?
<br />WOODWARD: I live in Ocean View. Does that explain it? WeÓve had a little dealing with the
<br />Department of Water Supply, not entirely favorable.
<br />FUKE: But your explanation is right on point. WeÓve had a number of meetings, not only with
<br />the Planning Director, but also with the Water Manager and his staff. And it is true, the Water
<br />DepartmentÓs standards are just one standard, itÓs all the Cadillac version. It doesnÓt, you know,
<br />provide accommodation for anything less than a Cadillac version
<br />Subdivision Code, for example, when you deal with the roadways, you know, you can have like
<br />a 50-foot wide right-of-way with a 20-foot wide pavement. If you have six or less lots then the
<br />roadway standards can be reduced as low as a 20-foot wide right-of-way with a 16-foot
<br />pavement, you know, so on and so forth. But the Water Departmen
<br />kind of subset standards. What we were trying to do was as best as we can to try to address the
<br />concurrency requirement while, you know, doing like a mini version, really, of whatever the
<br />Water DepartmentÓs standards were. And if the Water DepartmentÓs standard called for like two
<br />wells, we said, fine, weÓll do two wells. If the Water DepartmentÓs standard called for having a
<br />reservoir or a tank, then we said, fine, you know, weÓll do a tank for each of those wells. But we
<br />had to adjust it to make it consistent with whatever he was proposing. And just one correction,
<br />Madam Director, one of the six lots will be served by the County water system. So only five lots
<br />will be served by this private water system.
<br />So before he even applied for the rezoning, I told Mr. Hogan, youÓve got to actually try to see
<br />whether you can actually have a water system in the area, and not necessarily rely on mother
<br />nature to the catchment system because of the concurrency law. We have to try to see whether
<br />you can actually drill a well and see what the source is. So he drilled the well, and, you know,
<br />that report is made part and parcel of the application. And I donÓt know what the calculation is,
<br />Mr. Chairman, but I got the number from actually Kurt Inaba who is the, one of the chief
<br />engineers at the Water Department.
<br />WOODWARD: Okay, I understand.
<br />FUKE: But he mentioned that, you know. Like the report that they had was like it can generate,
<br />that one well can generate 42 gallons per minute, which translates according to Kurt Inaba to
<br />15,000 gallons per day. So if you look at -.
<br />WOODWARD: Actually that 15,000 is a six-hour interval.
<br />FUKE: Correct, yeah, at a six-hour -.
<br />WOODWARD: Which is 60,000 a day.
<br />FUKE: ThatÓs right. That was based on like a six-hour interval, so that came out to 15,000. So
<br />we just took a conservative amount. So 15,000 gallons per day, which translates to 3,000 gallons
<br />per day for each of these five lots. The Water Department requires only 600 gallons per day. So
