IDA attorneys brief council on proposal for sewer access to Trussville Ridge; council to consider in June
Summary
IDA attorneys told the council Jody Saiia (Saiia Investments) is seeking to purchase sewer access through a neighboring industrial park for the Trussville Ridge project; the developer says county approval and an environmental impact study are in hand and the council will review materials ahead of possible June consideration.
City IDA attorney John Q. Somerville and his counterpart Seth Cohen briefed the council in the workshop on a proposal by Jody Saiia of Saiia Investments to secure sewer access from an easement in a neighboring industrial park to serve the undeveloped Trussville Ridge parcel.
Somerville said Saiia has obtained county approval for the sewer access plans and that Sain Associates issued an environmental impact study concluding the proposed sewer alignment could have minimal adverse effects if routed along parcel lines. Mayor Ben Short asked the council to review the materials and suggested council consideration could occur at the council’s first meeting in June; the IDA’s next meeting is scheduled for late May.
Why it matters: Sewer access is a prerequisite for subdivision and residential development on the Trussville Ridge property; access arrangements and easement purchases can materially affect project timing and environmental review.
What’s next: Council members were asked to review the materials; the council may take up questions and possible consideration during its first June meeting, after the IDA meets in late May.
