Kaleta/Land Use Planner for Basin
Strategies Planning and Consulting
Rochelle Nason appeared before the Board
to clarify her position regarding recent
newspaper articles written about the
League/A.G./STPUD Agreement.
Paul DeLeon appeared before the Board to
encourage the reuse of water normally
exported to Alpine County.
Paul Kaleta appeared before the Board
to bring attention to a change of TRPA's
policy where Will-Serve letters from the
District are required at the same time a
commercial or recreational project appli-
cation is submitted. He encouraged the
Board to review this new policy because
he belives Will-Serve letters should not
be required until actual building plans
are submitted. He also feels unnecessary
competition for sewer units will result
due to the new requirement. Two commer-
cial projects are underway, one is a 125-
unit developed campground on Hwy. 50 near
the airport, the other is a 200-unit day
use recreation area on Old Meyers Grade.
These projects are pending with TRPA and
require a Will-Serve letter from the
District unless the policy is reconsider-
ed by TRPA.
