Town Council reviews water capacity as Lakeside development’s plans remain preliminary
Summary
Council members and the town engineer reviewed 2024 water production figures and recalled an April 2024 notice to the Lakeside development under the DRRA requiring construction of water facilities; only preliminary plans have been submitted and no construction has been approved.
The Town Council reviewed the town’s 2024 water production and storage numbers and discussed capacity limits tied to the Lakeside development. The minutes record that in April 2024 the Town issued a letter to Lakeside—referencing the DRRA (the minutes do not spell out that acronym)—notifying the developer that water facilities must be constructed at least nine months in advance so the town would remain below 80% capacity.
The council and Town Engineer examined preliminary plans submitted by Lakeside and noted that, as of the workshop, no construction had been approved or started. The minutes say council members raised concerns about demand from the Lakeside development and discussed the number of permits that have been issued; the record does not assign those remarks to a single speaker. Town Engineer Katherine McAllister of GMB, Water Superintendent Shawn Lane and Town Administrator Erin Braband were recorded as participating in the discussion and as the staff responsible for reviewing the production numbers and plan submissions.
The workshop record does not state any formal direction to staff beyond the discussion, nor does it report any vote related to approvals or permits for Lakeside. The council closed the workshop shortly after the discussion; no further actions on Lakeside were recorded in these minutes.
