Council blocks Lakeside’s requested EDU trade pending Well 4R study
Summary
The Lakeside developer installed two non-potable wells and sought to exchange their usage for 10 EDUs to enable 10 building permits. The council voted 4-1 to prohibit any EDU trading until Well 4R is complete and a production study is done.
Council members confronted the Lakeside developer’s request on Aug. 6 after the developer installed two non-potable wells for irrigation at the front entrance and pool-house site and asked to reassign those meters for 10 EDUs. Attorney Ryan Showalter and James Cook said the developer obtained required permits; the developer "didn’t think to say anything to the Town," Cook said. Commissioners criticized the lack of notification and potential revenue loss.
President Newnam moved that the Town not permit trading of allocations until Well 4R is complete and a production study is conducted; Commissioner Rose Potter seconded. The motion passed 4-1 (Commissioner Brian Schmidt opposed). James Cook told the council that "the irrigation at the pool house property will not be used to fill the pool, only to irrigate the grass." The council’s vote preserves current EDU allocations pending verification of water production capacity.
