If that is the case, then why not just add an agreement that whenever the existing building blocking the view is torn down, the intake facility will have to be reconstructed to be 16' shorter and thus ensure effective compliance. It might be 20 years down the road or later, for all we know. By then some improvements in the intake structure might be desired anyway, and the new development along Waller Creek might have already added a lot of money to the tax rolls. It could even be part of their special tax/assessment, that they may need to collect to pay for the reconstruction at some future time.
