Parcel #: 35682-001-09 # WaiverSTA-001030-2026
Florida Prime Construction
LDC 6.14.2.B(1)(A) Connection requirements
CODE states New development in the Urban or Rural area shall connect to a centralized water system with available capacity if a water line is within a connection distance of 400 feet times the total number of Equivalent Residential Connections (ERCs).
APPLICANT requests to allow the existing residence and proposed tiny home/accessory dwelling to remain on the existing private, potable well. The existing well is already serving the residence and will remain subject to applicable DOH review/approval. No central sewer is available. MCU correspondence states the modified option is estimated at $3,000-$5,000 for a 2-inch service extension with separate meters, while full code compliance could require roughly 900-950 feet of 8-inch water main, with estimates ranging from about $40,000 up to $100,000. These costs are substantial and disproportionate where a functioning potable well already exists. Additiona | | |
