Document Description
The project site is located east of the city of Visalia and is within the Urban Area Boundary (UAB) and is zoned AE-20 (Exclusive Agricultural - 20 Acre Minimum). The property owner is requesting an administrative variance for construction of a new (replacement) well to supply the property with water for the residential uses consistent with the existing zoning. The location of the new well is unable to comply with the minimum setback requirements from an animal enclosure. The contractor will install a 50' annular seal to eliminate the risk of contamination to the new well site location. The applicant will benefit from the Project as it is intended to meet their water needs for domestic purposes.
