Request: Approval of a request from Meyers Water Company (MWC) for
a Use Permit (No. P21-00091) to continue operation of a small community
water system/Quasi-Public use (for the community of Edgerly Island) in
unincorporated Napa County west of the Napa River. The requested Use
Permit includes emergency repair of MWC’s small community water
system through 1) The use of an existing new well drilled on the site; and
2) Relocation and development of a water distribution system including
water pumps and filters and six (6) 5,000-gallon water tanks. The water
distribution system, water storage tanks, equipment, and materials to
support the small community water system would be located in a proposed
new two-story mixed use in an approximately 3,260 sf building. The
ground level garage area totaling 1,647 sf would be used by MWC for the
water distribution system and the second floor would be developed with a
3-bedroom, 1,611 sf manufactured single-family residence, including two
uncovered parking spaces. The single-family residence is an allowed use
