2 The County needs to apply an appropriate of
3 its land use regulations so that this project is in
4 compliance with those regulations. If the County
5 complies, some of the benefits would be a less massive
6 and tall project, one that wouldn't encroach into
7 setbacks and would be true cottage style.
8 The County needs to do a full EIR. No corner
9 cutting; no segmented piecemeal approach. You need to
10 truly and comprehensively address and properly evaluate
11 all of the issues. I'll outline a few of those issue
12 because time is tight.
13 Water. Water supply issues have to be
14 studied. When reviewing this proposal, you have to look
15 at the impacts on the current users and other properties
16 being served. Mr. Mosby says that Montecitans are --
17 and I quote him -- "using too much water already as it
18 is."
19 I'm also concerned about the potential for
20 fire services to be impeded in terms of water supply.
21 Do the calculations take into account hundred year
22 droughts, for example? And the statement that the
23 hydrant test came back with about 1,500 gallons per
24 minute does not match the required stern, staunch
25 minimum of 1,500. "About" is not the same as "equal."
