City engineer presents draft land-use assumptions and CIP; council sets June public hearing
Summary
A consultant, Blake Behringer of Blah Engineering, briefed the council on draft land use assumptions and a draft capital improvements plan, explaining the 10-year growth assumptions and service-unit methodology; the council accepted the drafts and voted to set a public hearing in June to gather public comment.
Blake Behringer of Blah Engineering presented draft land use assumptions and the draft capital improvements plan and asked the council to accept the drafts for the formal public hearing process.
Behringer described the land use assumptions as a 10-year growth projection used to estimate future water and sewer service connections. He said the team used assumptions such as roughly 4 lots per acre for raw single-family residential and an equivalency of about 1,200 gallons per day per acre for commercial and industrial uses, converting larger commercial demand into "service units" equivalent to single-family connections. He told the council these drafts are a housekeeping step in the impact-fee process and that staff would return with additional items at later meetings.
A council member moved to accept the draft land use assumptions and draft capital improvements plan; another member seconded and the motion was recorded as carried, 4–0. Blake then described the need for a public hearing where members of the public can comment on the drafts; the council moved and seconded a resolution to set that hearing for June and approved the resolution. The spoken transcript contains an unclear rendering of the exact day in June (the packet referenced a June date; the audio reads as "20 fifth"); the council approved a June public hearing as recorded.
