Applicant: City-initiated
ITEM DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION
The City has just recently acquired the tract and has included the land as part of an
incentive package for the attraction of Freewing Aerial Robotics, Inc. to the City. The
tract was annexed into the City last year and was originally shown as commercial. on the
Land Use Plan. There was no industrial land shown on the plan at that time. The
comprehensive plan update shows more land to be devoted to light industrial uses in the
area north of Easterwood.
The request is in compliance with this plan and Stafftherefore recommends approval.

ENGINEERING
Water: Water is available from a well that is already serving this site.
Sewer: There is not an adequate sewer system .currently serving this site.
However, the city is preparing plans to install an interceptor line for the entire
area which will extend along the. front of this site. Until that system is installed,
the city will construct. a large .manhole near the front of the site that will
eventually be incorporated into the future system. The sewer lines from the
buildings will be rerouted. into this manhole. Sewage will. be collected in the
manhole and pumped into trucks that will take it to the city's sewage treatment
plant.
We anticipate this system to be in place for a few months until the sewer system
is installed.
Streets: Access to the site is available from the frontage road.along FM 60.
Drainage: Since no new buildings are anticipated on the site, there are no new
drainage facilities required.. Drainage is currently provided from the ditch along
the FM 60 frontage road.
Flood Plain; There is no floodplain on this property.
