APPLICATION OF THE LARWIN DEVELOPMENT COMPANY PROJECT TO LAFCO FOR DISTRICT REORGANIZATION Mr. James McKeehan, representative of Larwin Development Company, addressed the Board and, after reviewing the Larwin project, he reported that discussion had been held with the County Counsel. Mr. McKeehan stated that County Counsel had advised that locating a pump station on the Larwin property would not necessitate the need for a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report for the pump station currently planned for the Bishop Ranch Development. In response to query by Member Gibbs, Mr. Horstko tte, General Manager- Chief Engineer, stated that, based upon engineering considerations, ideally, pump stations should be located on the Bishop Ranch property and just north of the Contra Costa County line in the event that became the ultimate District boundary. If the District boundary were to extend only to the southern boundary of the Larwin Development project, engineering considerations suggest only one pump station. However, this would cause delay to the Bishop Ranch Development because of the need for a Supplemental EIR. In response to further query, Mr. Horstkotte stated that, if pump stations were to be located on the Bishop Ranch and Larwin project and subsequently be located just north of the Counth Line, the Larwin pump station would be abandoned. Mr. Horstkotte reported that District personnel would man and operate the Bishop Ranch and the proposed Larwin pump stations. Discussion followed regarding engineering considerations and the energy and manpower requirements that would result if pump stations were to be located on the Bishop Ranch Development and Larwin property. Also discussed was the possibility that the District may be required or requested to extend its southern boundary to the County line, thereby incorporating an area presently served by the Valley Community Services District.- Mr. Horstkotte reported that the District had held preliminary discussions at the staff level with Valley Community Services District regarding the District extending its boundaries to the County line. After further discussion regarding discharge requirements imposed by S-tate and regional water quality control agencies on Valley Community Services District and comments by Mr. McKeehan, Mr. Charles Snyder, representing Larwin Development Company and Mr. James Graham, Consultant for Home Develop- ment Company, it was moved by Member Mitchell, seconded by Member Boneysteele, 11 01 73 239 that application for annexation to the District by Larwin Development Company be deferred and that request be made to the Local Agency Formation Commission to defer action on reorganization of the District to permit opportunity for further review and study by the District staff. Prior to polling of the Board Members, Mr. McKeehan stated that, Larwin Development Company desired prompt annexation to the District. He stated that appropriate engineering studies by District staff and Larwin representa- tives regarding location and number of pump stations required could be under- taken, and that he was confident that a solution to the problem could be found. He indicated that Larwin Development Company was prepared to finànce the necessary cost for the construction of a pump station on its property. Secretary Davis then polled the Board Members. Motion made by Member Mitchell, and seconded by Member Boneysteele, carried by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Members: Members: Members: Boneysteele, Gibbs, Mitchell, Allan and Rustigian None None 2.
