Mr. Robinson replied he does not have this information. Mayor Kraus inquiredif Mrs. Jean had approached the Water District. Mrs. Jean replied when they built their first h6me, the Water District had requested a certain amount of land along the creek. They could not understand why the District wanted so muchIla~d; however, they went along with them and gave them what they wanted. The Jeans had made it very clear to the District at that time that in the future their plan was to subdivide into one more home, and the District had indicated the easements would be included in the square'footage of lot; however, in the City of Saratoga it is excluded. They found out this time they were 1,800 or 2,000 short of having the 20,000, so she went back to the Water District with their engineer, and they explained it was not their intention originally to hamper the Jeans' effortslto subdivide, so the Water District gave them back what they needed. 7 V.
