any ECU limitation per unit or use so long as the total of 550
ECUs as specified herein is not exceeded. The parties agree that

purposes ("easements"). The water main and water line easements
must be large enough to provide the city with at' least 10 feet on
either side of water mains and lines and must specify that (1)
sewer lines must be located at least ten feet from any water main
or line, and (2) other utilities must be located at least five
feet away from any water main or line. Access easements and
easements for tanks and other facilities shall be of a size

easements received by the City from Pfister and/or PEG II pursu-
ant to the defunct water service agreement of July 9, 1990, as

reasonably possible, the future maintenance and use of the
easements as provided for and described in this Agreement by the
city shall not interfere with any lawful use of Pfister's Proper-
i:ies, the Project, or the Project Property. The city acknow-
ledges that PEG II plans to build a championship golf course on a
portion of the project and the project property and that land-
scaping is an important element to the operation of the golf
course. The City, therefore, shall use its best efforts to
maintain and/or restore the original contours of any disturbed
golf course areas within 30 days of any installation, construc-
'tion or repair of the water mains or associated facilities. All
repairs (other than emergency repairs) and maintenance of lines
or facilities located on the golf course shall be limited to the
fall or spring and, preferably, to times when the golf course is
not open for use, and shall be undertaken in a manner to mini-
mize, to the extent reasonably possible, disruption of the golf
course.

City pursuant to the terms of this Agreement may be used for all
lawful purposes, including but not limited to in-house domestic
uses, fire protection, swimming pools and the normal outside
irrigation of trees, lawns and gardens, not to exceed 5,000
square feet per residential unit. All water use will be consis-
tent with the city' Water Policy Resolution (Resolution No. 5 (as
amended) (Series of 1993)) and water conservation ordinances.
16. Water Use on Golf Course. Notwithstanding the provi-
sions of paragraph 15 above, PEG II agrees that the golf course
will be irrigated with raw water only, provided, however, that in
the event delivery of raw water to 'the golf course must be
suspended due to unanticipated and/or unavoidable damage to the
raw water delivery system serving the golf course, PEG II may use
potable water for golf course irrigation on a temporary short-
term emergency basis so long as: (1) the City is able to meet all
of its other water service commitments at the time potable water
is needed for such irrigation; (2) the physical connection
between the potable water system and the irrigation system is
approved by the City; (3) the use of the potable water system to
irrigate the golf course is only made at such time and in such
manner as approved by the city Water Department; (4) the service
is metered and paid for at the current and applicable billing
area rates; and (5) such potable water is used only for temporary
emergency purposes in quantities no greater than needed to

properly irrigate the golf course. Because potable water as
provided for in this paragraph will only be delivered and uti-
lized in extraordinary and infrequent circumstances, PEG II shall
be required to pay only a nominal tap fee (1 ECU) for the tap
connecting the irrigation system to the water system in addition
t:o all normal hookup charges. Additionally, any water delivered
under this paragraph will not be debited against the ECU or acre
feet maximums set forth in paragraph 2 above.
17. ECU Computation. The parties understand and agree that
1:he 550 ECUs to be provided to the Project property and the 57
ECUs to be provided to the pfister property II were determined on
the basis of the assumptions contained in Exhibit G attached
hereto and that regardless of any subsequent amendment to the
Code, those assumptions will be applied to determine the ECUs
allocated to a particular structure or use under this Agreement;
provided that in no event shall the Project Property or the
pfister Property II be entitled to the delivery of more than 185
acre feet or 12 acre feet, respectively, of treated water per
year. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the volume of
water to be delivered to the Project Property and pfister Proper-
ty II under the terms of this Agreement not be reduced by future
amendments to the Code redefining or recalculating ECUs.
18. Dedication of Water Riqhts - Cash in Lieu. Pursuant to
the City's Water policies, all extraterritorial extensions of
water service are to be accompanied by a dedication or transfer
of water rights from the water user to the city comparable to the
water services to be delivered. Alternatively, a cash payment in
lieu of the required water right may be accepted by the City in
its discretion. PEG II and/or pfister own certain water rights
appurtenant to the Project and/or Pfister Properties. The
parties hereto agree that such water rights should be retained by
PEG II and Pfister and utilized for raw water irrigation of the
golf course and other Project areas. Therefore, and in lieu of
the dedication or transfer of said water rights to the City, PEG
II and Pfister shall make a cash payment to the City in the sum
of $27,000, such sum to be paid upon the execution of this
Agreement~ The parties agree and acknowledge that said cash
payment is an adequate substitute for the water rights otherwise
required to be transferred to the city for the potable water to
be delivered by the City to the project, the Company property,
and pfister Properties under the terms of this Agreement.
19. Tap Fee Computation. All tap fees for potable water
service herein provided shall be assessed utilizing the city's
prevailing applicable tap fee at the time of application for a
building permit for the structure for which service is sought.
No water service shall be provided to any structure absent

city is not by this Agreement prejudging, certifying or guaran-

shall PEG II or pfister be responsible for the payment of water
rates for the delivery of water to property other than that
property which they lease or to which they have title at the time
of water delivery.
24. Rules Reoulatino Water Use. PEG II and pfister agree
to adopt all provisions set forth herein as the rules and regula-
tions governing the use of water on the Project, the project

this Agreement is on a contractual basis for use on the Project
Property or Pfister's Properties as described herein and all

EXHIBIT A
ACCESSORY USE or ACCESSORY STRUCTURE means A use or structure that is
naturally and normally incidental to, subordinate to, and devoted primarily to the principal use or
structure of the premises; does not change the basic character of the premises, as determined by its
principal use or structure; is subordinate in area,extent and purpose to the principal use or structure
served;contributes to the comfort, convenience or necessity of the occupants of the principal use or
structure served; and is located on the same lot or contiguous lots under the same ownership as the
principal use or structure. In no event shall an accessory use be construed to authorize a use not
otherwise permitted in the zone district in which the principal use is located, and in no event shall
an accessory use or structure be established prior to the principal use or structure to which it is
accessory. Accessory buildings or structures shall not be provided with kitchen or bath facilities
sufficient to render them suitable for permanent residential occupation.
BASEMENT means that portion of a structure fifty percent(50%) or more of which is
below natural g rade.
BUILDV4G HEIGHT means the maximum distance allowed; based on the following
criteria:
a. On Pitched Roofs:
. • 1) There shall be no mid-point of a roof which exceeds the prescribed height above
existing grade, whichever is lower. The mid-point of the roof shall be defined as that point which is.
halfway between the top of the ridge, and the cave-point. The eave-point is that point in the roof
plane which is directly above the outside of the wall below. In the case of a covered deck or patio,
the eave-point shall be that point which is directly above the outside face of the structure, or three-,,
feet(3') in from the edge of the roof, whichever is more.restrictive.
2) There shall be no point of any ridge or other roof peak, which exceeds the prescribed
height above the existing or finished grade, whichever is lower, by more than five feet (T).
3) There shall be no eave-point which exceeds the prescribed height above existing or .
finished grade, whichever is lower. Exception to this is if the ridge lines which extend to the outside
face of.a building to form a gabled end will be permitted, to the extent that they conform to (2)
above.
b. On Flat Roofs: There shall be no point of a flat roof which exceeds the prescribed
height above the existing or finished grade, whichever is lower.
C. All roofs within a multi-roof building shall conform to these standards.

d. All measurements shall be made vertically; i.e., that each point of a roof shall be
measured to the point of grade which is directly below it— vertical and plumb. Roof points which
are not at the exterior of the building will be measured against existing grade only.
e. Antennae, chimneys,flues, vents, and similar structures shall not exceed the
prescribed height limit by more than ten feet(10�.
f. Water towers, mechanical equipment, solar equipment, and similar equipment shall
not exceed the prescribed height limit by more than three feet (3').
g. In no event shall any structure, including antennae, chimneys, flues, vents, water
towers, mechanical equipment, solar equipment, and similar structures exceed thirty-eight feet (38')
above existing or finished grade,whichever is lower.
h. For the purpose of measuring building height, any individual building component
that is located within twenty (20) feet(as measured from any point from outside wall to outside
wail) of the principal structure shall be considered a pan of the principal structure.
FLOOR AREA means the sum of the gross horizontal surfaces of each floor of a building
or structure. In calculating floor area, the following Hiles apply:
a. General: In measuring floor area, all dimensions shall be taken from the outside face
. of framing or other primwy wail members or from the center line of wails separating adjoining units
of a building or portion thereof. Veneer
facades up to eight inches in thickness shall be excluded from the calculation of floor area; that
portion of a facade which exceeds eight inches shall be included. Fireplaces, elevators, stairs and
similar features are included in the floor area on each floor.
b. Roof overhangs and decks: The floor area of a building, or portion thereof, not
provided with surrounding exterior walls shall include the area under the horizontal projection of
roofs or floors, when the roof or floor eiceeds five
(5) feet. These architectural projections are exempt for five (5) feet-of the perimeter of each story of
the structure. Architectural projections may project up to ten (10) feet and still be exempt, so long as
the total perimeter space
for a floor is less than or equal to the total area allowed for the five (5) foot exemption. This
exemption cannot be used to transfer space between floors.
C. Decks, balconies,stairways and similar features: Structures that exceed thirry (30)
inches above natural or finished grade, and that are not covered by a roof or architectural projection
from a building, are exempt from floor area
for up to fifteen percent(15%) of the maximum floor area allowed. Any areas in excess of fifteen
percent(15%) shall be counted toward floor area.

• d. Spaces below natural grade for principal single family and duplex residences: Spaces
below natural grade, up to a maximum of twenty (20) feet in depth and which include no more than
a single story, are exempt from floor area
calculation up to a maximum of 4,000 square feet of floor area. Floor area below natural grade
which exceeds the 4,000 square foot exemption provided herein shall count toward the calculation
of allowable floor area If any pan
of the below grade space is exposed above natural grade (such as walk-out basements, walls or
courts) the entire below grade area shall be included in the floor area calculation; except that
window wells and one egress area as
required by the Uniform Building Code may be provided without affecting this exemption.The
foundation wall or footing may be exposed to the minimum degree required to comply with the
Uniform Building Code pertaining to foundation
design without affecting this exemption. Up to ten (10) percent of any particular below ,grade wall
surface may extend above natural grade and still be exempt from the calculation of floor area so
long as the finished grade covers
the surface that would otherwise be exposed. Garages up to seven hundred fifty (750) square feet
may be incorporated into below grade space and shall not affect this exemption so long as the only
sections of building so exposed are directly related to the garage structure.
e. Garages and carports: For the purpose of calculating floor area ratio and allowable
floor area for a lot where the principal use is a single family residence, garage and carport floor area
shall be exempted up to a maximum of
seven hundred fifty (750) square feet. On a lot which contains a duplex, garage and carport floor
area shall be exempted up to a maximum of five hundred (500) square feet per side. All garage or
carport space in excess of the exempted
areas shall.be included as pan of the residential floor area calculation. When a single family or
duplex dwelling exceeds the allowed floor area, the exempt garage space shall be reduced by -
subtracting the excess floor area from the exempt garage space.
f. . Crawl space: Crawl.spaces shall be exempt from the calculation of floor area. even if
exposed above natural grade, so long as the height of the crawl space does not exceed five feet six
inches (5'6").
g. . Attic space: That portion of attic space where the distance between the floor and
ceiling exceeds five feet six inches (5'6") in height shall count as floor area.
h. AR-1 Zone District: For the purpose of calculating floor area ratios for non-
residential structures in the AR-I Zone District, subgrade space shall be excluded from the floor
area calculations when such subgrade space is accessory
to and subordinate to the principal use of the building and used for subordinate, secondary purposes.
Such exempted subgrade space shall include areas used for mechanical, electrical or heating
facilities; utility space;
• parking garages; required employee housing units meeting Uniform Building Code requirements for '
subgrade space; kitchens and employee recreation rooms; meeting rooms, auditorium,banquet

All other uses located subgrade may be exempted from floor area calculations upon the special
review
recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission-and approval of the Board if they frid
the use to be accessory and subordinate to the principal use. Review criteria to be used in
determining if a use is accessory and subordinate to the principal use are as follows:
1) potential impacts generated by the use;
2) the amount of floor area involved,including the amount of space above grade to be
made available for the principal use if the space is exempted;
3) consideration of whether the use will be used primarily by occupants or residents of
the project or other persons in the community.
Above grade balconies and decks constructed in the AR-1 Zone District, including those
covered by a roof or floor above, shall be excluded from floor area calculations when the area of
such balconies and decks is less than or
• equal to fifteen percent(15%) of the allowed floor area: all area of above grade decks and balconies
over fifteen percent (15%) of the allowed floor area shall be included in the floor area.
SETBACK means an open space it grade between a structure and the property line of the
lot on which the structure is located. The setback shall be unoccupied and unobstructed from the
ground upward, except for fences or as otherwise provided in this chapter. In measuring a setback,
the horizontal distance between the lot line and the closest projection of the principal or accessory
building shall be used
STRUCTURE means anything constructed, installed, or portable, which requires location
on the ground. It includes yurts and tepees and movable buildings which can be used for housing,
business, commercial, agricultural, or office purposes, either temporarily or permanently.
