Commission extends $120,000 maintenance bond for wastewater collection system one year

The Williamson County Regional Planning Commission voted to extend an existing maintenance bond for a wastewater collection system in the stated amount of $120,000 for one year.

Staff recommended the extension at the current amount for a period of one year. Brent Thany, representing the developer, told the commission the developer has "a list from the county" and is working with the project engineer and a geotechnical firm to prepare a plan to address outstanding drainage, road and landscape items. Thany said bids are being solicited to rerun a road shown on the plans and that the work will likely occur in the next couple of months. He also confirmed the warranty/extension process has already been applied for and paid.

Staff and commissioners also noted landscaping and tree questions raised in emails; staff agreed to inspect the site and compare conditions to the approved landscaping plan. A motion to extend the maintenance bond in the current amount for 1 year passed by voice vote.

What’s next: Staff will inspect landscaping/tree concerns raised in public comment and monitor developer progress on geotechnical and repair plans before the next bond review.
