Maria Mayer LID waiver
There was an error on the parcel number for Maria Mayer’s property on the BRWU transfer document. As a result of this Franz Meyer’s parcel was included in LID, and not Maria’s. Franz Mayer is not a member of BRWU. Franz does want water and as a result Maria needs to be added via a waiver.
Commissioner Klasell motioned to submit a waiver to Maria Meyer, to add her parcel 271719210060 to the LID and requiring her to sign and return by April 1, 2013, Commissioner Bohn seconded, passed.
Mayer/Franz Service Connection
Commissioner Harris reported that because the wetland permit was already in process it cannot be changed at this point. We would have to submit a new permit which would severely delay the whole project. Commissioner Klasell stated that Maria and BRWU had been informed back when the LID was formed that a pipe would be placed on Lake Wenatchee Hwy to service her parcel.
Commissioner Harris motioned to place Maria Meyer’s meter on Brown Road where her private easement currently exists and will be connected like the other lots on Brown Road, Commissioner Bohn seconded,
Commissioner Klasell voted NO.
There was discussion of how to handle service lines that cross private property. Attorney Mark Peterson feels that each situation should be handled as they come up and the Commissioners should not set a general policy to cover all. The district is only responsible for the vault and meter placement.
Commissioner Klasell motioned that all vaults and meters should be installed on public right of ways, and if they need to be installed on private property the District will require an easement before vault/meter can be placed. Commissioner Harris seconded, passed.
Easement for upper Whispering Pines system
There was discussion as how to handle the fact that the meters and service line are on private property.
Commissioner Harris submitted a map dated 02/27/13 suggesting how to move the meters so they are on county right of ways. After much discussion and clarification:
Commissioner Klasell motioned to revoke the motion from 2/14/13 to have our attorney create easements, and to accept the meter location for lots 4,5,6 as depicted on the map provided by Commissioner Harris, dated 02/27/13. (Map attached) The District will bear the cost of the meter relocation and the piping to attach the service line to the meters, Commissioner Harris seconded, Commissioner Bohn abstained from the vote.
