        Action: The Board will consider a finding of Special Circumstance for a proposed senior assisted living facility at 1110 Cass Street, Monterey, that is proposed by Skyline Crest Enterprises, Inc. The request is based on substantial uncertainty about the projected water use resulting from installation of ozone treated recycled laundry water and a dual plumbing system to utilize well water for toilet flushing. Under a finding of Special Circumstances, the Board would monitor the project's water use for a period of approximately five years and then adjust the water permit to reflect actual use.

        Action: The Board will consider the first reading of Draft Ordinance No. 101. The proposed ordinance modifies the current Water Use Credit transfer program and incorporates safeguards to prevent an increase of water use beyond the original projected water use at the receiving site. It also includes safeguards that ensure more reasonable estimates of water use capacity at the donor site. The District presently has a suspension on the acceptance of new transfer applications until November 20, 2001 to allow time to update the program. Public comment will be received on this item.
