There will be 3 styles of ADUs offered to buyers ranging in size from approximately 500 to 600 square feet.  Tanner made a suggestion of 1.5 ERs for both main home and ADU to start.  Treat as Commercial-Residential and use water reads.  If usage goes above the 1.5 ERs than an additional .5 ER will need to be purchased.  Monthly billing rate would be at 1.5 ER as well.  Board would like to consider options – this could be a pilot study for future ADUs.  Table further discussion until June’s meeting.  No Action was taken by the Board.
