Pavao, Manager SUBJECT: WATER COMMITMENT POLICY This letter is in response to your request for clarification of the Department's water commitment policy, and more specifically, in relation to Change of Zone Application No. 94-032. Water commitment(s) is/are granted by the Department for the developer's specified unit(s) of water. This/These unit(s) is/are further defined in our rules as number of lots, dwelling units, or equivalent units. Each equivalent unit of water is currently determined by this Department as 600 gallons per day which is the maximum daily demand factor. A commitment, which is secured by the applicant's payment of a $150.00 water commitment deposit (WCD) for each additional unit, provides assurance to the applicant that water is and will be available for the proposed development. The first equivalent unit or any existing lot, in the case of a subdivision, is exempt from the payment of a WCD. Once granted by this Department, the initial commitment(s) is/are valid for a period of three (3) years. Any subsequent water commitment extension request, if water is available, can be approved fora period of one year upon the payment of an additional 8150.00 WCD per additional unit. Please refer to the enclosed copies of the Water Commitment Guidelines Policv and Rules and Regulations Rule 5 for more specifics. It should be noted that all WCD would be credited towards the final facilities charge. Change of Zone Application No. 94-032 (Tax Map Key 6-4-001:035) proposed a change from A-40a to FA-3a that would result in a 4-lot subdivision. Since this proposed zone change and subsequent subdivision will create three (3) additional lots, the required WCD would be 5450.00 (3 units/lots @ 5150.00 per unit). Although the Department has not specified when the WCDs are due, it would behoove the applicant to secure the water commitment as soon as possible. Water commitments are subject to the prevailing water availability. The ninety (90)-day deadline for payment of the WCD is a condition of the zone change ordinance that was imposed by either the County Council or the Planning Departmen~ ~0 30~.
