Since the protest period has not yet expired there is a possibility of a protest, which would require a City Council decision. Our easement requirements will be 12 ' width from the north property line from Laurel Lane to the manhole located approximately 330' easterly of Laurel Lane. This will allow for us to construct the new sewer line 7' from the property line and allow a 5' easement beyond that. From the manhole to the east property line, we will require a 15' easement to allow for replacement of that sewer line at some future time. We will also require a 15 ' clear access way to the manhole, in order to service the manhole. This clear access way will be required to be improved to an all weather access, as the Housing Authority project is developed. The 15' clear must be without slopes, landscaping, or building eave encroachment, all of which might interfere with access by our maintenance vehicles.

EXHIBIT "C" _ ieapw (J housing Authoaity m9, OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO 487 Leff Street P.O.Bos 638 San Luis Obispo,CA 93406 • (805)543-4478 Executive Director-5ecretary George J. Moylan April 17, 1991 Mr. John Duni Chief Administrative Officer City of San Luis Obispo P.O. Box 8100 San Luis Obispo, CA 93403-8100 Dear John: As per my teleoic ne conversation with Deb Hossli please consider this to be the request of the Housing Authority and our affiliate, San Luis Nan-Profit Housing Corporation, to the City Council to be exmpted fran the water retro-fit requirements in the development of the Laurel Lane/Orcutt Road site into Senior Citizen and handicapped housing units. This request is based upon the Housing Authority's water conservation measures during the past several years, the wtxeme.ly low projected water usage by the development, the cost of retM-fittirng which we would have to pass on to aur low. ince clientele, the conservation efforts we are planning in the development of the units, and the tremendous need for affordable senior citizen and handicapped units in the camunity. Now to expand upon each of the five points. As you know the Authority operates 172 Public Housing units an 14 sites scattered throughout the City. As reported to the Mayor and City Council in our recent annual report our total water eoanslmption for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1987 was 21,381 units. Cur total consumption for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1990 was 12,852 units of water, or 8,529 units less than was consumed during fiscal 1987. Most of that savings was the result of retro-fitting activites by the Authority, ranging frac the installation of low-flow devices in showers, faucets, and toilets to re-landscaping several of our developments using fight tolerant plants and drip irrigation. It is true that we replaced aver 200 toilets last year with 1.5 gallon low-flow fixtures, and that in return the retro-fitting credit for those units was provided to a private developer. However, since that work was done in April and May of 1990 the savings fr>mn those ;nSta 11 ati C,T1C were only reflected for four and five months of Fiscal Year 1990. Thus the toilets contribution to the savings discussed above were at a mini,n,m_ ATTACHMENT 3 mu.�fi.. O..ORTUMM We have owned and managed 20 Senior Citizen units at 1600 Toro Street for 14. years and thus have a 14 year history of Prater consumption for that development. The average yearly use for that developnP.nt for the 14 years, including the 20 apartments, landscape usage and a laundry, is 933 units of water. That amounts to 3.89 per units per month per tenant. Even more dramatic is that in the Fiscal. Year ending September 30, 1990 we used just 551 units of water, or 2.29 units per month per tenant. And I repeat that number includes tenant, landscape and laundry usage. For the first four billing periods of the current fiscal year we have averaged 71 units per billing period. If our usage stays steady for the final two billing periods of the year our total consumption this year will be 426 units or just 1.77 units per month per tenant. Without baring you with more rnmbers the simple point is that elderly residents use much less water than what we would have to replace using the City's retro-fitting regulations. My calculations are that we would be asked to retro-fit enough units to account for approximately 7 acre feet when in fact our total consumption for all 20 Toro Street units was only 1.26 acre-feet last year. If my math is correct the 8,529 units of water we saved in 1990 equals 19.6 acre feet of water, or about fifteen times the water we project will be used in the proposed develcuptient. Given the City's retro-fitting requirements we would probably have to expend somewhere in the $18,600 to $48,300 range for the needed water credits. On a 30 year mortgage with 9% interest our monthly principal and interest cost would be $386 on $48,300, or approximately $16 per month per unit on a 24-unit development. That extra $16 would be simply passed onto aur tenants. Our goal is to make these units as affordable as possible while producing a product that the community can be proud of, not in ;wing the rent to cur lower-;TMS elderly and handicapped clients. In addition to the conservative habits of our client population we are also building into the development other water saving ideas, both for. us and aur neighbors. For instanoe discussions have been held with the owner of the adjacent car wash about the possibility of his use of our grey-rater to support his landscaping. We are comQuitted to water and other energy savings possibilities, throughout the development. Finally we know that you and the City council have first-hand knowledge of the need for Senior Citizen and handicapped housing in. the community. In developing these units we are working closely with representatives of senior groups, Tri.-Counties Regional center and Friendship School inorder to make this a facility which the entire community can support and paint to with pride. Your consideration is most appreciated. Sincerely, George J. Moylan Executive Director
