Mr. Mike Sferra addressed this item providing Council with a brief background of the intent of the Agreement
with Centex Homes. The proposed Cimarron Estates development is located generally south of SH 78 and east of
Kreymer Lane. Sewer service is not currently available and the installation of approximately 9,100 linear feet of
sewer line would be necessary to serve the proposed development. The sewer line is shown on the City's sewer
master plan and will tie into the new Rush Creek lift station currently under design.
Mr. Sferra stated that the proposed agreement allows the developer to receive reimbursement through impact fees
for the oversizing of the sewer line, which is the difference in cost from a 12-inch to a 30-inch sewer line. The
sewer line is not currently identified on the City's Capital Improvements Plan and subsequently not a part of the
current impact fee calculation,however the Capital Improvements Plan is being updated and the sewer line will be
identified as a new improvement. Easement, surveying and inspection cost are not reimbursable to the developer
per this agreement.
Mr. Sferra stated that estimated costs for the total project is $1,081,917 with the City's share estimated to be
$692,000, which will be financed by future sewer impact fees. Mr. Sferra concluded by stating the agreement
allows reimbursement to Centex when the City collects future impact fees,upon availability.

impact fees for the oversizing of a sewer line to serve the proposed Cimarron Estates. Councilman Trout
