Document Description
The project includes a request for a Minor Conditional Use Permit to allow installation and operation of a new water storage tank and improved access road on their property located at 4989 Foxen Canyon Road. The proposed water storage tank would have a capacity of 200,000 gallons, height of 27 feet, a diameter of 48 feet, and would be painted a non-reflective tan color. An outdoor stairway for maintenance purposes and an anti-climb cage would wrap around the northern portion of the water storage tank. The tank would be surrounded by a 6-foot tall chain link fence with a 16-foot wide access gate. The proposed project site is located within the southern and eastern portions of the property and the storage tank would be located near the top of slope at an approximate elevation of 551-ft. in order to meet the minimum pressure requirements necessary for successful operation of the water storage tank. Access would be provided via the proposed access road, which would extend from the existing driveway off Foxen Canyon Road to the new tank location. The majority of the access road will be paved as asphalt concrete. Sections of the access road for which the slope exceeds 15% will be concrete paved. Parking for maintenance staff is available near the existing well (designated as FC5) and will also be available near the proposed water storage tank at the end of the proposed access road.
