Developer asks Arcola council to extend water to support 100-unit project at Arcola Gardens
Summary
Casey Lam, owner of Arcola Gardens, told the council he wants the city to extend water service to three acres across the freeway so he can build about 100 units, saying he has plans and has waited two years for the city to act.
During the public comment period, Casey Lam identified himself as the owner of "Arcola Gardens" and asked the council to start discussions about extending water service to his three-acre property so he can expand a residential project.
"I am the owner of Acola Gardens across the freeway from you guys. I'm here to make a formal request... I am thinking about to put 100 units on the 3 acres, But I cannot do it without your help because no water, no nothing," Lam said, asking the council to point him toward the right steps to obtain water and sewer service. He said he had drawings and plans already and has been waiting two years for the city to extend water supply to his apartments.
The mayor and council heard the request during public comments and did not take action during the meeting; staff and engineering reports later described water and sewer capacity and connection counts that will inform any formal extension process. The operator reported 44 vacant water meters and noted plant capacity constraints that tie water hookups to sewer capacity.
Provenance: Public comment segment and follow-up capacity discussion by the operator and engineer.
