ITEM NO. 12 PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
CASE NO. 01-02 UDC AND APPROVAL OF FIRST AND FINAL
READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 1481
Mayor Pro Tem Tyson opened the public hearing at 7:57 p.m. regarding amendment to
the Euless Code of Ordinance Article IV "Zoning District Regulations," Chapter 84
"Unified Development Code," Section 84-182 (Private Water Wells and Wellhead
Protection Zone).
Director of Planning & Development Mike Collins stated the drilling of private water
wells is allowed by Section 84-182 of the Unified Development Code (UDC). A permit
must be obtained and the fee paid is based on the depth of the drilling. Residential,
commercial, and industrial water customers may use private water wells as the primary
source for the irrigation systems. The city water source could be utilized as a
secondary source. Upon receiving a request from the customer, the transfer of water
source to the irrigation system would be accomplished by a gate valve that would be
manually switched by city crews. Appropriate safeguards would be in place to prevent
cross contamination. This ordinance applies to any entity within the city drilling a well.
A determination was made by outside legal counsel that a city does not have the
authority to restrict the maximum permitted depth of a well to 300 feet. Therefore,
Section 84-182 will be amended to establish that the city may restrict the depth of a
private well only in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of its public water
supply.
Amendments are also being proposed to Chapter 30 of the Code of Ordinances as part
of Agenda Item No. 19, to establish specific fees associated with private water well
drilling. Section 30-34, "Water Deposits", would be amended to include a new
miscellaneous charge, "Water Source Transfer Fee", established at $275. A new
Section 30-36 is proposed to establish a "Private Water Well Permit Fee", based on the
following schedule according to well depth: 500 feet and less - $500; 501 to 1,000 feet -
$1,000; 1,000 feet and greater - $1,500. A commercial water rate would be established
at 1.5 times the standard commercial rate.
There being no proponents or opponents, Mayor Pro Tem Tyson closed the public
hearing at 8:00 p.m.

the access line rates to account for erroneous line counts previously submitted by the
