that she was the owner of n one bedreom apnrtment over a garage that is

two single family dwelling units as she is now being charged, City Attor- '
ney Shipsey submitted a letter to the Council in which he stated that he
felt that Municipal Code Section 6-7a.01(b) applies because this is a situ-
ation in which water service is furnished to two or more separa~te buildings
on the same parcel of land where there is common ownership and water ser-
vice and water is furnished through c~ne water connection, and thnt sub-
section (c) concerns multiple dwellings in the same building and sub-sec-
tion (b) concerns Mrs, Montgomery's situa~ion where the buildings are sep-
. arate. After Gouncil discussion, City Administrator Butch was requested

~ make her aware that her Lopez Water billing is correct at the present time.

ting the operation of the Lopez Dam areae_ Mr. Butch also briefly reviewed

questing water service to an area outside the City of Arroyo Grande on
Los Berros Road to service 80 acres of land that will be two-acre ran-
~ chitos when developed. Mr. Autry was present and verbally xeviewed his
subdiv~sion plan and said he felt the development could be made if City
water would be available. After Council discussion, Mr. Autry was advised
no decision could be made at this time as this City can not se11 Lopez
water to anyone not in the City without xeceiving permission from each
other contracting entity, that the Local Agency Formatior~, Commission
would have tp be contacted regarding nnnexation of the ar~a. to the City
and Zone 3 if other properties were willing #o annex to make this parcel
contiguous and if areas receiving Lope2 water would have to be in the
Zone 3 district. Administrator Butch was requested to keep in contact
