Council approves water and sewer allocations for Spring Street subdivision
Summary
The council granted water and sewer allocations to support a new subdivision on the former American Legion property at (renumbered) Spring Street, enabling planned infill housing construction.
The Centerville Town Council voted June 5 to approve water and sewer allocations for a subdivision on the former American Legion property on Spring Street (renumbered after purchase), clearing a key utility step for the developer to proceed with building permits.
Town staff said the property owner demolished the former Legion building and received planning commission approval for subdivision. The site had an existing water allocation but used a private septic system that county health officials have since abandoned for the property; the applicant requested an allocation package to serve the newly subdivided lots.
Town staff reported they met with the owner and that the town's water/sewer manager (Kip) supported the requested allocations. The council moved to approve one water allocation and one sewer allocation for one lot and an additional sewer allocation for 138 Spring Street (as described in staff's proposed motion); the motion passed by voice vote.
Council members discussed design standards and told the applicant the town will review house designs under local standards rather than sending them to the planning commission; staff confirmed the applicant understood design constraints such as avoiding blank walls and meeting the town's design elements.
