• Condition Number 54 and has been modified to address implementation of
drainage improvements in the right -of -way along South Elm Street
• Condition Number 119 has been added to allow the applicant to obtain water
service from the Oceano Community Services District (OCSD), and
• Condition Number 120 has been added to require that the applicant obtain
sewer service from the OCSD (a will -serve letter was previously granted for
the project, but it has since expired).
Commission questions /comments of staff included the disadvantages section of the
staff report regarding loss of fees if the project is to be served by OCSD; that a "will
serve" letter must be approved; clarification of condition Number 22; that modification to
54 is an extra cost; if water for this project was not included in the City's water
availability, should the City reserve that amount of water in case OCSD pulls out so that
the City has water reserved for that project.
Community Development Director McClish stated that the will serve request would have
to be approved by City Council and LAFCO; this project is included in the General
Plan for water service; and there will be an agreement between the City and OCSD that
would calrify the "will serve" for water for the project.
Greg Yeager, North Coast Engineering, representative of the project, stated they are in
agreement with all the conditions for the project and clarified that the storm drain line is
24 ".
