Chairperson Sigurdson asked if the main water line on Hermosa Street is a six-inch or eight-inch water line.

Ms. Then stated it is a six-inch water line.

Chairperson Sigurdson asked where the applicant could connect to an adequate water line or whether that main line would have to be changed.

Ms. Then replied that the closest connection point to an adequate water main is on the other side of Hwy 27/441. The applicant would need to dig under Hwy 27/441 to connect to that ten-inch water main.

Chairperson Sigurdson confirmed with Ms. Then that there is a fire hydrant on the north end of the property.

Ms. Then advised that all of the internal water lines were upgraded to an eight-inch water line. However, an eight-inch water line was constructed to tap into the six-inch water line along the Hermosa Street right-of-way. Per the Town Attorney’s interpretation of the wording, the connection to the main water line needs to be an eight-inch connection.

Member Conlin stated that he was initially concerned with the water flow through the smaller line connection. After reading the report from the fire inspector, he stated that he was reassured that the property will have adequate protection.
