Developer outlines amended Lakeside MUD No. 9 plan: 1,888 lots, 70 acres parkland, embedded elementary site

Matt Timan, president of Timan Land & Cattle Development, presented the amended and restated comprehensive development and consent agreement for Lakeside Municipal Utility District No. 9, describing two preliminary plan areas (Bluffs 1 and Bluffs 2) totaling 1,888 lots.

Timan said the project would provide a range of lot sizes (50–100 foot widths in early sections), more than 10 miles of trails, multiple pocket parks (planned so that most homes would have a park within a 1,500‑foot radius) and three wet detention ponds. He reported 83.2 acres of qualifying parkland were planned versus Hutto’s 44.3‑acre requirement and described dedication of a 20‑acre elementary school site with water, sewer, drainage and high‑speed internet provided to the site.

On wastewater, Timan described a lift station that would pump under Brushy Creek and migrate flows to the city’s south wastewater treatment plant under a wholesale contract; he said the MUD will pay outside‑of‑city wastewater rates plus nonroutine repairs and replacements reimbursed by the MUD. Timan also described the strategic partnership agreement (SPA) included in the documents, which allows future annexation with a sundown clause to retire MUD debt at a defined time.

Council members asked about infrastructure responsibilities, LUEs (loading/unit equivalents) and HOA coordination; Timan said the MUD will acquire easements, build the lift station and handle the nonroutine maintenance costs per the wholesale wastewater contract. Questions about the limited‑district approach and long‑term maintenance were addressed, with the developer recommending a limited district to maintain parks and drainage and preserve the maintenance burden outside the city.
