Council questions BL Hill feasibility study amid water and wastewater capacity uncertainty
Summary
Council and staff discussed the BL Hill subdivision feasibility study (Revision 5); staff said water and wastewater capacities have changed and recommended pausing city-funded engineering until wells are drilled — council generally agreed that the developer should bear additional engineering costs if more information is required.
Council discussed the BL Hill feasibility study (Revision 5) regarding a proposed subdivision.
Staff reported that water and wastewater capacity assumptions have changed since earlier reviews and that the developer's engineer is requesting additional information from city staff. Council members expressed concern about spending additional city engineering funds while the city lacks drilled wells and confirmed the city cannot answer capacity questions without drilling. One council member recommended that if the developer wanted more engineering work, the developer should pay the engineer directly for those meetings. No council action was taken to authorize additional city-funded engineering at this meeting; staff was directed to await results from well drilling and to seek clearer cost assignments from the developer.
