Hogansville approves Martin's Meadows development agreement; city to upsize sewer line
Summary
Council approved the Martin's Meadows Development Agreement authorizing the city to upsize a sewer main beyond 8 inches to accommodate future flows; estimated upsizing cost is $265,000 to be recovered through future connection fees. The motion passed 5-0.
The Hogansville City Council approved a Development Agreement for Martin's Meadows during its January 20 meeting. The motion, moved by Council Member Jason Baswell and seconded by Council Member Mark Ayers, passed 5-0.
Under the agreement, the city will upsize the sewer line beyond eight inches to accommodate future flow. The minutes record an estimated upsizing cost of $265,000; the city intends to recover that cost over time through future water and sewer connection fees. The agreement also specifies a $2,350 water and sewer connection fee for the developer if natural gas utilities are installed with a minimum of two natural gas appliances per home (excluding gas logs).
Council took the vote after a brief discussion; there were no recorded dissents. The action authorizes infrastructure investment tied to a private development and establishes connection-fee conditions that the city says will amortize the upsizing expense.
