Approval of Minutes from October 17, 2002 Meeting: Motion to approve Minutes by Otto, seconded by Peter. Motion carried.

Discussion/Action:
a. Brian Newell stated that his well had gone dry and that he could not drill deeper at the location it was now in because the previous residents had built a carport over the well. To drill a new well in a different location is very expensive and on a cash basis which he does not have. He requested that we allow him and Tom Sullivan to re-plat their property which would make a part of his property in the Village and give Tom Sullivan a part of his property in the County. Kathryn Griffin advised that the Newell's are also willing to be annexed to the Village. Brian Newell will be approximately 280 yards from the current water line at the point where the tap will go in and has agreed to pay all connection fees from the current water line to the tap and from the tap to his home. Peter Renich made a motion that we agree to the plat of the property and present this agreement to the Village Trustees and Mayor, Mary Brothers seconded - the Motion carried with no dissenting votes. b. Impact fees - This discussion was regarding future development and new development especially in the ETZ area. Otto requested that Kathryn get the Ordinance from Ruidoso that concerns their impact fees. Peter suggested that we table this discussion while he does some research in communities like our. This item will on the November Agenda. C. Water Taps outside the Village limits - This is being tabled until November meeting while the guidelines for available water supply or investigated. d. Annexation - This item was included with Water Taps and it was decided that the Committee members will prepare thoughts and recommendations on this for the November meeting. It was discussed that guidelines and priorities for annexation be considered, especially if the property is entirely surrounded by the Village. e. Multiple housing on one lot - There is a concern with this because the Village currently has no regulations concerning individual lots and developing multi-family units on single family lots. A further concern was addressed regarding water taps and septic systems. It was suggested that this would be a commercial entity because it would be developed for rentals and not personal use. What is the regulation concerning commercial entities and water taps. How would we write this? The committee members will come up with concepts for the November meeting.
