PRIORITY SEWER LINES TO MEET TEXAS WATER COMMISSION
REQUIREMENTS: Mr. Ron Homeyer, Assistant Engineer
recommended to Council several plans for the City to work on
in regards to meeting the requirements of the Texas Water
Commission. One plan is to put in sewer lines with gravity
flow in Steel Industrial Park with a force main to pump back
into the main line to the treatment plant. This will also
take the property where Sanden Corporation will be. In this
plan is also a gravity flow line for the businesses on
Highway 78 beginning with Steaks Over Texas and coming to
Eubanks . There will be a need for a small lift station in
order to pump back into the treatment plant. In this plan
the park lift station would be eliminated and a new lift
station in the Thrisk Tract and staff is hoping to receive
some financial backing from the owners of the Thrisk
property and Southplace. The approximate cost of phase 1
is $1 ,555,000 .00 . Phase 2 of the plan will address the
upper Muddy Creek drainage and parallel lines with an
approximate cost of $4 ,257 ,000 .00 .
City Manager John Pitstick said phase 1 will help the park
lift station and pumping at Steel Industrial Park and will
also take care of the pumping for the business around Steaks
Over Texas. The approximate cost of the improvements to the
Wastewater Treatment Plant is $1,730 ,000 .00 . Total
approximate cost of all sewer improvements in these phases
will be $5 ,987 ,000 .00 . City Manager John Pitstick said
staff wants to get together with all the developers and work
on these projects to see what kind of participation is
there. Staff has to go back to the Texas Water Commission
in January with a final plan and dates as to when work will
begin. City Manager John Pitstick said he plans to
354
beginning meeting with the developers as soon as possible in
order to make the deadline with the state.
INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS FOR SANDEN CORPORATION: Mayor
Trimble referred the Council to a letter that was written in
July to Sanden Corporation, and the commitments made did not
expend monies. The only real commitment was to put in a
rock road in order for Sanden to begin work. Now County has
1983 bond funds that can be used and this road can be a
concrete street with all monies coming from the County.
City Manager John Pitstick said that there are no cut and
dried incentives. Once you have made a commitment, you need
to stick by it. For Sanden to go in, you are looking at
Sanden Blvd. from FM 544 to Highway 78. The 1983 Collin
County Bond Funds will take care of this road. There is
also the possibility of extending the 8 " water line that
stops at Eagle Ready Mix down to Sanden Blvd. Mr . Ron
Homeyer said that normally the developer would have to put
in this water line. City Manager John Pitstick said he
needed some guide lines from the Council prior to meeting
with Sanden. Sanden has set up meetings with the staff and
utility companies and I need to know what Council wants.
Mayor Trimble stated that the letter written in July was
given to each Council member for them to read and comment on
prior to it being taken to Sanden. The only commitment was
to put in some type of rock road in order for Sanden to have
access to their property. It was made very clear to Sanden
that it was unlawful to waive taxes.
City Manager John Pitstick said the first thing to do is to
ask Sanden what size water lines will be needed for their
operation and where is it needed and then staff can proceed
working with Sanden with the facts that Council has laid
out for us .
There being no other business for discussion, a motion was
made to adjourn with all in favor.
