Hinckley council asks Jones & DeMille to clarify water and sewer capacity analysis for Topaz Townhome proposal
Summary
Council reviewed a March 19, 2026 revised engineering proposal from James Saunders (Jones & DeMille) for the Topaz Townhome Development and asked that the firm specify analytical steps for water and sewer capacity findings and remove assumptions that town staff will perform emergency‑services reviews; Mayor Alan Miller will contact the engineer to request revisions.
At its April 23 meeting the Hinckley Town Council reviewed a revised March 19, 2026 engineering proposal from James Saunders of Jones & DeMille Engineering regarding the Topaz Townhome Development. The council discussed a response from attorney Todd Anderson and identified two substantive concerns with the proposal as written: the town wants a clear written commitment describing the analytical steps that will be used to determine culinary water and sanitary sewer system capacities, and the council asked that the firm remove language that assumes Hinckley staff will perform emergency‑services review or similar administrative reviews because the town does not have qualified staff for that work.
Council discussion did not yield a vote on the proposal; Mayor Alan Miller said he will contact James Saunders to request a revised scope that addresses the council's two points. No timeline for further action or final approval of the development was set at the meeting.
