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,

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:
