AGRICULTURE; LOCATED AT 500 FAIR OAKS AVENUE;
APPLIED FOR BY LEROY SARUWATARI
WHEREAS, Leroy Saruwatari has submitted an application to drill and install two (2) new

WHEREAS, Municipal Code Chapter 13.08 requires City Council review and approval of
all new or replacement wells.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Arroyo

1. The City Council finds the proposed irrigation wells will neither deplete nor
contaminate the City water supply and are needed to serve the properties for

potable water, connection to the City's water infrastructure is not feasible.

to drill and install two (2) new irrigation wells at 500 Fair Oaks Avenue, subject
to the conditions as set forth in Exhibit "A", attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference.
