1 miramar beach resort and bungalows project 2 - Santa Barbara ...

1 comparable hotels, you look at typically 60, 70 percent
2 of interior room use for a project like this. We use
3 60 percent as interior room use. 40 percent would be
4 the ancillary functions of the hotel. We apply that
5 number to come up with what we consider to be the fair
6 and reasonable base allotment.
7 MS. GOTTSDANKER: Great. Now, I still have
8 another question with regards to the acre feet that are
9 not inside the 40 -- we keep talking about 45, 46.
10 MR. MOSBY: Yes.
11 MS. GOTTSDANKER: But that's all interior
12 use. Now, we have a, quote, unquote, according to the
13 Applicant, "lushly landscaped project" here. So are
14 what you saying is that everything above -- that's used
15 by the project that's over and above the baseline number
16 will be delivered by the water district -- absolutely
17 delivered by the water district no matter how much it's
18 over and above that baseline for a fee?
19 MR. MOSBY: As with all our customers,
20 there's no ordinance in place to stop a customer from
21 using more water, for instance, in its base allotment.
22 Where we try to limit the using is, one, planning, which
23 we're doing with Caruso Affiliated right now and with
24 any of our other customers whereby we look at what the
25 project is. We say, "We know we can meet this goal.
