Development Services Director Templin clarified that that Section 12 -D of the Subdivision Regulations addresses the platting of property that has been determined not suitable for development. The subject property is suitable for development since City Ordinance does not prohibit residences in the proximity of oil wells. It does require the said residents to sign a waiver acknowledging the existence of the oil well. Mr. Templin added that an environmental firm was hired to rework the subject oil well and submit a report. The oil well is in compliance with the City's standards. In closing, Mr. Templin stated that Staff did not revisit the report to see if it precludes the placement of the well near the residences or what impacts are on the development of the property after the fact. He added that a report was not required. Commissioner McMath commented that the land was suitable prior to the reworking of the oil well, and therefore in its current state should not preclude the proposed development. It is apparent that the residents are aware of the oil well. Other concerns of aesthetics and possible nuisances were discussed.
