Water: Water is available through existing lines that will be extended into this property.
Sewer: Sewer is available through an existing line that bisects this property. As with
the rezoning of Planning Case No. 97-106 (the Wheeler property at Lincoln and
University Drive), the subject property will sewer through the same trunk line that has
marginal capacity. However, there is a difference between these two rezonings. The
City has developed a policy to handle sewer capacity problems based upon line size. In
Planning Case No. 97-106, the property sewers through eight (8) and twelve (12) inch
lines. These line sizes are part of the collection system and therefore the responsibility of
the developer to enlarge. Any line size larger than twelve (12) inches, is part of the
interceptor system and will be the responsibility of the City to maintain capacity.
Although the responsibility falls upon the City for the interceptor system, the City cannot
guarantee when these lines may be upgraded.
Streets: Property has access to the SH6 East Frontage Road.
Off-Site Easements: Not applicable.
Sidewalks: Not applicable.
Drainage: The detention requirements for this property will be addressed at the time of
site plan review.
Flood Plain: According to FEMA Flood Hazard Maps, this property is located within
the 100-year flood plain.
