City Engineer Bret Weiss reported that a draft comprehensive sanitary sewer
study has been completed as previously authorized by Council. The request
for the study came from developers Tony Emmerich and Orrin Thompson to
determine whether or not their properties could be served by city sanitary
sewer. He noted that both Emmerich and Orrin Thompson Homes provided a
majority of the funds necessary to complete the study, which included an
analysis of sanitary sewer capacity issues relating to the Emmerich and
Orrin Thompson properties as well as city-wide capacity issues.
Weiss reviewed the overall sanitary sewer system necessary to service the 4Q-
year development area as identified by the City Planner and also noted that
the City may want to consider interim improvements to the wastewater
treatment plant in order to accommodate further development within the city
until the new plant is constructed. Weiss stated that the study reveals that
the existing sewer system serving the Meadow Oak area has sufficient
capacity to serve the Omn Thompson Homes and Emmerich properties;
however, full development of the general area will require extension of an
interceptor sewer. Part of the coat of this line will be paid by trunk fees paid
by Orrin Thompson and Emmerich at the time of development.
No action was required by Council at this time; acceptance of the final
comprehensive sanitary sewer study will be considered at a future Council
meeting.
