1. Mavor called meeting to order.
2. Conduct Public Hearing Regarding Systemwide Land Use Assumptions and Capital
Improvement Plan for the Designated Water/Wastewater Service Areas Under Which
and Impact Fee May be Imposed.
Public Hearing opened.
Tim Glenndenning, indicated this is the Public Hearing for the Council to consider the
capital improvements and land use assumptions. He indicated thirty days after the
public hearing the council will need to take action to adopt the plan or send it back to
the advisory committee. The process the City goes through is to look at anticipated land
use in the city. There are two areas that they examined in the land use study. The two
areas are the water service area and the sewer service area. They looked at both areas
and anticipated the future land use over the next ten years and the overall build out.
In developing the land use assumption the most important part is what is going to be
needed to meet population demand over the next ten years. He went through the land
use plan as follows:
• Existing land use in two service areas
• The water service area (over 5600 acres in the area; Identified present land
allocations)
• The sewer service area (26,000 acres)
• Examined past population changes based on census data
• Anticipated future population in each service area (projected population is
subject to drastic change)
• Population growth will mainly occur along I11-35
• Future land use assumptions for ultimate build out in both service areas
• Ten year build out (assignments for water and sewer service areas - pg 11)
• Expectations for land absorption
• Translating population numbers into actual housing development (2.85 persons
per home)
• Vacancy rates (ideally 5%)
That concludes land use assumptions.
Mark Owens addressed the Capital Improvements Plan:
He indicated that he took the land use and put some infrastructure to it, to meet future
needs. Trying to fine tune areas that are going to grow and plan how to get water and
sewer lines to those areas. He is trying to justify the project itself. This is a twenty
year plan. He broke the city up into the areas where he sees its going to grow. There
are a lot more projects that deal with sewer than with water. Future water is a lot less
than future sewer.
He then showed a ten year picture, and indicated every project shown is on the books.
It's been preliminary platted or is in discussion. He showed a map and indicted this is
where the growth will be in the next ten years, potentially there could be other growth.
He is trying to justify the population number in the land use plan, and to get a cost per
home to provide the infrastructure for this.
Discussed future water needs.
Discussed water from Upper Trinity.
Discussed details of capital improvements over twenty years.
Discussed details of capital improvements over next ten years.

Councilman James asked what the up -side and down -side was of impact fees.
Mayor indicated accounting is a nightmare. This work will prove that our fees are
validated.
Discussion continued regarding the impact fee study.
Tim Glenndenning indicated if a developer comes in and pays his impact fees, then
within ten years the city has to use that money on a capital improvements projector it
has to be refunded with interest.
Discussed how fees would be charged.
Discussed developments and how they would be charged.
Discussed annexations.
Required to update every five years minimum. (should do annually)
Tim Glenndenning indicated since they have had the public hearing, that within thirty
days they need to adopt the land use assumption and capital improvement plan. If they
want to adopt the impact fees, they would then set a public hearing on the ordinance,
and adopt an ordinance imposing an impact fee.
City Manager indicated the plan is on the agenda for Tuesday.
Tim Glenndenning indicated if they adopt the land use and capital improvements they
would not want to wait two years to adopt the impact fee.
Public Hearing closed.
