Service Area 99-01 is proposed for the purpose of financing water system improvements necessary for providing municipal water to the area. The boundaries of Service Area 99-01 are reflected in Figure 1, below. Figure 1 Service Area 99-01 Land Use Assumptions "Land use assumptions" as required by Chapter 395 of the Local Government Code, include a description of the service area and projections of changes in land uses, densities, intensities, and population in the service area over at least a 10-year period. Description of the Service Area Proposed Service Area 99-01 consist of eleven parcels of land totaling approximately 157.62 acres. The Service Area is located along the northeastern side of State Highway 6. Service Area frontage along Highway 6 begins at the most southerly point of the former City of College Station landfill (47.92 ac. Luther G. Jones Estate tract) and extends northwest along Highway 6 to the most northwesterly point of the 70.39 ac. Bert Wheeler's Inc. tract. The depth of the Service Area from the Highway 6 right-of- way varies with the R. Stevenson - T Caruthers League Line being the northeaster boundary of the Service area. The Service Area is predominately vacant at this time. It is estimated that current development within the Service Area is limited to three single family residences, one commercial establishment (nightclub) and various outbuildings and accessory structures. The service area currently lacks water and sewer services necessary for urban development. Current Land Use in the Service Are~ Current land use in the proposed Service Area is estimated in Table 1 below. Table 1 Current Land Use Service Area 99-01 Current Land Use Service Area 99-01 Category Acres Est. Population Single Family Residential 13.25 12 Commercial 2,12 0 Vacant/Ope 142.250 n Total Area 157.62 Basis For Land Use Assumptions Projections of changes in land uses, densities, intensities, and population in the Service Area are made as Land Use Assumptions. These Land Use Assumptions are based on the Land Use Plan included in the College Station Comprehensive Plan adopted August, 1997. Land uses projected in this plan include medium density single family residential, commercial, office and floodplains. The area along the opposite side of Highway 6 from Service Area 99-01 is currently experiencing a high rate of growth. The existing Shennandoah subdivision is expanding. A new subdivision, Alexandria, is proposed. The Springbrook-Cypress Meadow development has been substantially built out. Commercial development has occurred along the highway frontage read. Service Area 99-01 has a similar potential for development but is impacted by two major constraints. Constraint #1. Water- Water for development is available at the northern and southern extremes of the service area. There are no municipal water facilities or services available to the majority of the service area. Constraint #2. Wastewater- There is limited sewer service within the service area. A force main is located at the northern end of the Service Area. Most of the service area drains away from that main. There are no other municipal wastewater facilities within the service area. The proposed water improvements within the Service Area will address one of these constraints. Lack of wastewater facilities will remain as a development constraint within the service area. Commercial development along the frontage read can be served by extending existing facilities located south of the Service Area. Substantial residential development within the Service Area will require extension of a major wastewater interceptor or trunk line from the Greens Prairie Rd. area along Spring Creek to and through the Service Area. This facility is included in the City's long term wastewater capital plans but will not be available for several years. The following assumptions are used in projecting land uses for the ten year period: 1. The 47.92 ac former landfill site will remain as open space - floodplain during the ten year period. 2. Lack of wastewater facilities will limit residential growth for the initial part of the ten year pedod. 3, Existing residential and commercial uses will remain, limiting growth potential for the tracts they occupy. 4. Residential growth, when waste water services are available, will be similar to growth along the southwestern side of Highway 6 in type and density. Table 2 reflects the projected land uses population for the ten year planning period. Population from new development at the end of the period is projected to be 400.

This program is a result of requests for assistance from developers of a proposed commercial site known as lot one, block one, Harley Subdivision. Existing Facilities At the north end of the proposed service area, there is a 16 inch water line that crosses under State Highway 6 near the extension of Graham Road. At present this line turns north as an 18 inch line to serve the Woodcreek Subdivision. At the south end of the proposed service area, there is an 18 inch water line that crosses under State Highway 6 near the site of Fire Station Number 2. At present this line turns south to feed the new Methodist Church as well as the Desert Hills Facility. Along the eastern frontage road near the middle of the proposed service area, there is an existing 2 inch line that presently serves the Silk Stocking establishment. Because this line cannot provide any real level of fire protection, it is not capable of supplying any new development in the area. Figure 2 shows these existing facilities in relation to the proposed service area. Figure 2 Existing and Proposed Facilities Proposed Facilities This program proposes that an 18 inch water line be constructed along the eastern frontage road of State Highway 6 to connect the two existing crossings near Graham This connection would be constructed in one phase, because a temporary termination of a line of this size would create too many maintenance problems due to the drastically increased potential of stagnant and/or muddy water. Road and near Fire Station 2. This construction will provide adequate service to the entire service area up through build out as shown in Table 2. Figure 2 shows the proposed facilities in relation to the proposed service area. Projected Costs The distance between the connection points is approximately 4800 lineal feet, which would relate to an estimated construction cost of $312,000.00. This cost would include the necessary valving, and street fire hydrants, but would not guarantee fire protection coverage for any particular proposed development. Using an estimated design fee of 10%, and a 5% contingency, the project budget would be $358,800.00 Because the sizing of this line is based on the City's Water Distribution Master Plan and not on the specific demands of the service area, a different basis of fee determination is required. The line size required to supply the needs solely of the projected new development within the proposed service area would be 8 inches in diameter. This is based on the provision of fire flows to any point in the area under the assumption of flow from both the north and south ends of the proposed connection. The estimated construction cost of 4800 lineal feet of 8 inch line would be $144,000.00. Using an estimated design fee of 10%, and a 5% contingency, the budget for use in fee calculation is $165,600.00. It is this estimate, $165,600.00 that should be used for fee calculation purposes with the rest of the project cost being paid for from water distribution funds in a similar fashion to oversize participation. Living Unit Equivalents Estimated development in the area includes 3 residences and one business. Municipal water service in the area includes one residential and one commercial account. Living Unit Equivalents are used to measure water service consumption for new and existing development in the Service Area. A Living Unit is defined as a single family residence without regard to the number of bedrooms. Water meter size is used to determine Living Unit Equivalents. The existing living unit equivalents for water service in the service area are given below in Table 3. The living unit equivalents for assessing impact fees for new development are given in Table 4.

The total project cost is projected to be $312,000.00. However, the portion of the cost attributable to new development within the ten year period is $165,600.00. The number of projected new living unit equivalents for the period is 300. The maximum impact fee is $550.00 per living unit equivalent. Service Area 99-01 Description Part 1.
