  a. Presentation by Karen Morgan

• Director Morgan presented on Lakewood zoning changes to increase density and their effects, noting changes in home type definitions and the allowance of commercial usage in residential areas. Considering GMWSD is at max buildout, the district will need to prepare despite the unknown future of how water usage will change. The district is focused on enhancing existing change of use policy, investigating how to track changes to residencies to accurately assess tap fees, researching other legal avenues for mediation with the city of Lakewood, and considering if previous planning studies need to be redone. Residents are encouraged to contact neighbors in other water districts to inform other district Boards on the zoning changes, and to reach out for more information if needed. (0:46)

  b. Q&A on how new zoning affects W&S infrastructure

• A guest asked what rights the Board has in denying water tax based on the impact and how they can slow down the increase in population. Director Morgan responded, explaining the obligations of the Board to serve constituents while considering capacity, and said they are currently exploring various legal angles and how best to handle the situation. (14:28)
• Director Morgan responded affirmatively to a question posed by a guest as to whether there is currently a moratorium on water and sewer permits in the district. She expanded upon the Kentucky Ave extension project and informed them that they can get permit once project is done so long as there is capacity, directing them to check in with district manager for exceptions. (17:12)
• Director Morgan responded to a question regarding a memorandum and petitions for stopping the zoning changes altogether, stating the issue cannot be expanded upon by the Board and to seek out information from other audience members. (20:22)
• Dave Garner asked if the Board received any indication from Lakewood staff that they would respond to the letter, to which the Board has not. He also asked if the Board would seek an injunction against the city, to which the Board noted they are unsure and are still pursuing options. (21:07)
• Ludmila posed question regarding how state laws would affect the tap fees, and the Board responded that they are currently looking into the matter. Ludmilla also asked if some of the residents’ taxes are going to the city’s infrastructure, and Director Morgan noted that the city has their own customer base. (22:30)
