I have also used that information to update our map and have attached that map to this email. I also could not get any signal going to 6161 O'Malley, so I don't believe that property has a water service.

Drilling proceeded througk assorted gravels, tills and tight silt layers before the f~rst aquifer was encountered at 114 feet. This zone which continued to 134 1/2 feet had a static level of 60 feet from ground surface. A 200 slot screen was set in this zone, developed and test bailed. This work indicated that a sustained flow of only about 50 gpm could be expected from the zone. The screen was then pulled and drilling continued. After pen- etration of more tight silty materials, the second aquifer was encountered at 174 feet and was found to extend to 179 feet. Where drilling was stopped and- the screen re-set and developed. Since the aquifer was S feet thick, only 5 feet of the 10 foot long screen was exposed to the gravel. Static level of this zone was 40 feet from ground level. TEST PUHPING: On April 12, 1972, a 25 hour pump test was performed on the second aquifer. The test was run at 168 gpm and caused 106 feet of drawdown by the time the pump- ing was stopped. At the time the pump test was completed and pumping stopped, drawdown was continuing to increase slowly. Recovery of the aquifer after pmnping stopped was not extremely rapid, indicating good efficiency of the well screen and development. Within 21 hours, however, the water level had recovered'~o within 1'~3" of its static level be- fore pumphtg began.

The question has been looked into in depth, both within the Planning Department'and in other involved Departments and the attached memo from the %ol~dng Enforcement Officer should answer any questions on the subject. The zonimg conflict is probably related to Birch Tree Estates Subdivision and the problem Jn this area has been explained to a11 new personnel and an in-house memo circulated. Both the planning staff and the Planning Commission are aware of the zoning conflict in Birch Tree Estates Sub- division and will in the near future be proposing a rezoning which should resolve this situation. We feel that everything that can be done on staff level has been - done° Respectfully submitted, /~¢9~ Jbhn M. Asplund Borong!! Chairman JMA :CPC :rvd GREATER ANCHORAGE AREA BOROUGH MEMORANDUM ]DATE: February 18, 1972 TO: FROM: SUBJ: Current Planning Staff iIarry B, IviJ. lligan~~~~'~: Birch Tree Es ta res It has been brought to onr attention that some employees of this department have inadvertently misinformed the public regarding the Birch tree Estates Subdivision. The ]Birch Tree Estates Subdivision is not subject to the existing R-6 Zoning Use District regulations as reflected on the z,oning map. This subdivision was exempted from the R--6 Use District requirements at the time the area was zoned. The reason this subdivision is not subject to the R-6 zoninq, is that at the time the zoning was approved, an appeal involving the Planning and Zoning Commissions denying the subdivision plat was pending before the Borough Assembly. Thus the subdivisJ, on was, when approved by the Assembly, excluded on the advise of the Borough Attorney from the re- . quirements of the. approved R-6 zoning. GREATER ANCHO1LAGE AREA BOROUGH TO: Charles P. Carlson DATE: February 24, 1972 FROM: Harry B. Milligan SUB: Information Report REQUESTED BY ASSE~LYbIAN GRAHAM During the Greater Anchorage Area Bordu~ assembly meeting on Thursday, February 17, 1972~ Asse~nhlymsn Graham stated he had been informed that someone in the P~anning Department was advising the public that. Valley View Estates Subdivision was subject to the nonconforming Lot of Record Provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Rhe Valley View Subdivision was platted in two increments. Unit number one was recorded on September 19, 1971 and unit number two was recorded on November 9, 1971. At the time of recording, the minimum lot size was 20~000 square feet per lot, with an average lot size of approximately 23~000 square feet per lot. At the time the subdivision was recorded, the lands were zoned U (Unrestricted). On December 13, 1971~ the Borough Assembly adopted an ordinance reconm~ended by the Planning and Zoning Commission, rezoning the subject subdivision from U (Unrestricted) to R-lA, (Single-Family Residential). The minimum lot size in the R-iA Zoning District is 8,400 square feet~ with a minimum lot width of 70 feet. 2~herefore, there are no lots in violation of the Zoning Ordinance. A situation exists which.involves the Birch Tree Estates Subdivision that could be the cause of Mr. Grah~,~ concern. On July 21, 1971~ the Planning and Zoning Co,remission, seated as a Platting Board~ ' denied a p?at for the Birch Tree Estates Subdivision. This matter was appealed to the Borough Assembly~ who.on August 23, 1971, approved tile subdivision plat. It was subsequently recorded on September 7~ 1971. During the period of time the subdivision was awaiting appeal action, the Borough · Assen~bly adopted an ordinance which rezoned' the snbject lands from U (Unrestricted) to R-6, (Suburban Residential). During the hearing on the subdivision appeal, the Borough Atton~ey advised the Assembly that due to the timing of the subdivision appeal and the zoning action, the Birch Tree Estates Subdivision would not be subject to the lot area require- ments of the R-6 Zoning District. %q~us, they are not subject to the nonconforming lot provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. I have discussed this matter with all persons in the Planning Departmenf who might be called upon to answer zoning questions or issue Land Use Permits. Page 2 MemorJndum ~k¢o persons recently employed~ indicated they have answered questions relative to thc Birch Tree Estates area. They were not aware of the Assembly's exclusion of this subdivision from the R.~6 Zoning District. This was not a deliberate attempt to misinform the publi% but rather an inad- vertent error~ I feel somewhat responsible for this situation in that at the time this happened, the people involved were under my supervision. I have since had a memorandum placed on the counter regarding this matter'with copies routed to all applicable Planning and Building Department personnel. ~e Department of Environmental Quality indicates that due to soil conditions~ some of the lots in the Birch Tree Estates Subdivision are inadequate in size to support on s~te sewage disposal facilities. [.In some instances they require a minimum of two lots for development purposes.~ ..... Previous to this inquiry, the Planning Staff had recommended to the Planning and Zoning Commission, that the Birch Tree Estates Subdivision be rezoned to a Zoning District classification which would make the lots conforming. The Planning and Zoning Commission has accepted that recommendation and is recommending "G" Area wide redistricting. :(5_ ank you, ~,,~--Harrf B.

Dickinson, Oswald & Partners 800 Cordova Street Anchorage, Alaska 99501 SubJect: Vallt Vue Estates Preliminary Water System Layout. Dear Mr. Kranich: The Greater Anchorage Area Borough, Department of Environ- mental Quality has reviewed the preliminary plans for the subject water system and has the following comments: 1. We would wish assurance that the proposed well location is in an area that is not subject to seasonal flooding and contamination at the proposed site. Field inspection at the time this plat was approved, showed that the proposed site very likely could be subject to flooding because of its placement, at this site, being in a large ravine that possi- bly acts as a water course at various times of the year. 2. We expect to see engineering plans and specifications on the proposed pressure tank size and related information regarding expected capacity of the well and reequired amount of water to be derived from the well, prior to construction. 3. Prior to approval to construct this facility, a similar set of plans should be submitted to Mr. Kyle Cherry of the State Department of Environmental Conservation for his review and approval. Should you have any questions regarding our review of the subject plans, please contact the undersigned. Sincerely, Rolf R. Strickland, R.S.

Reference is also made to our letter of July 6, 1972 requesting ~overall plan and your answering letter of July 10, 1972 which provided the Preliminary Layout of the total proposal. This proposal provided for a part of the distribution system only. The initial forwarding letter of June 20, 1972 stated that the plans and ' specifications on the well and pump house would be transmitted under separate cover. With the help of the Preliminary Layout and your shading thereon we were able to determine the scope of this operation· Linear feet of DI pipe is about 2930 together with hydrants and valves. The pipe is the ~ize necessary for fire protection. We have no comments or objections to either the plans as far as they now go, or the spec- ifications. Plans and specifications for the distribution system of 1972 Unit 1, Water System are approved by this Department; We look forward to receipt of plans and specifications for the well, pump, and pump house. Note that time may be saved by providing a chemical analysis of the well (if available) at the time of plan submission.
