Council denies tap application for San Gabriel Springs subdivision until water issues resolved

The council discussed a second tap application for the San Gabriel Springs subdivision, a proposal for 73 lots on County Road 321. Staff and council members said the developer had previously sought a denser plan and that the primary barrier remained providing required fire flow; the developer told staff the tie‑in costs had proved prohibitive. One council member warned about the risk of promising LUEs (load‑unit equivalents) the city cannot deliver, referring to a recent lawsuit involving another jurisdiction.
