Development an application for the extension of the Lake Creek Metro District's existing
Domestic water treatment system to serve the Cattleman's Club Development, located in West

of a 250,000 gallon water storage tank for the benefit of the Cattleman's Club development and
the Lake Creek Metropolitan District as a whole; and,
WHEREAS, the Cattleman's Club is an existing subdivision comprised of three (3)
platted parcels (previously platted as the Williams Parcels) and five (5), unplatted parcels ofland
each consisting of 35 acres in size (see attached 'Exhibit A'); and,
WHEREAS, The proposed system will provide additional water storage and fire
protection for the Lake Creek Metropolitan District simultaneously providing a reliable putault
water source for the Cattleman's Club development, eliminating the need for individual wells;
and,
WHEREAS, potable water will not be used for irrigation purposes for the homesites
within the Cattleman's Club; rather, non-potable irrigation water will be utilized to irrigate
limited portions of each individual property and the continued common ranching activities will
be provided via the existing raw water irrigation system (via water from the Moses Ditch).
Pending the approval of a water augmentation plan, this system will also provide additional
water for fire fighting purposes by filling small ponds fitted with dry hydrants. Failure to achieve
approval of an augmentation plan will not prohibit the homeowner's ability to irrigate as they
will still be able to utilize underground storage-water tanks (with water brought onto the site); or
via individual well water; and,
