First of the requested Variances to the Drilling Ordinance

XTO energy is asking for a variance to our ordinance on drilling. In short they want to substitute a Bond or Check for the required letter of credit. In any case the value would be $25,000, and is only for securing repairs to the roads they use in the drilling operation.

Unless I find that the mechanics of using a Bond or Check is significantly different from our perspective of accessing the money to perform repairs, I can't find any reason to oppose granting the variance. I have some additional information at my website.
