b. Discussion of utility master planning for the Calder Development—Jim Flint (arrived at 9:35 a.m.) and Brody Calder (arrived at 9:42 a.m.)

The Committee discussed how flat the area is and the sewer master plan. Manager Cobabe said how many acres is this overall? I see individual areas with different acreages and the total number of homes is around 900, but I do not see an overall acreage. It is 634 acres with an overall density of 887. That is 1.4 units per acre. Mr. Calder said these are future annexations. The ones we are considering today are just this portion of annexation. Chairman Seedall said it is about 30 acres. Manager Cobabe said you are not getting 887 homes on just that? Mr. Calder said it would be close. Density of 8 to 10 and 8 to 12. Area 10 we are looking at 4 to 6. That is over 70 acres. That is the density per acre, which is about 500 to 600 units. Chairman Seedall said between 70 acres we are probably in the 6 to 7 units per acre. Mr. Calder wants to have more density on the southern parcel and less density on the northern one. Manager Cobabe said that is on target for our density in these new developments. We would prefer to see condos or townhomes rather than apartments. Things that are for ownership. Mr. Calder said I will have my architect reach out to you and go through what you want to see.

Mr. Flint addressed the sewer plan, which is based on a 10-inch line. Engineer Breinholt said your 15-foot-deep sewer line will end up being 20-feet deep. We do not want it that deep. A 15-foot-deep lift station and maybe go 16-foot deep, but not 20. Chairman Seedall said you may end up having smaller lift stations to pump back and handle what will not gravity out to the main line. You could end up having a temporary lift station until you get the rest of it built. Mr. Flint said our biggest fear is having too little flow. We can throw a 12-inch line in if needed. Chairman Seedall said when we annex, we can put the lift station here and keep it along 9600. Over here might be better for servicing. Engineer Breinholt said I would like to have an idea of what area can be served with the lift station.

They then discussed water, both culinary and secondary. Engineer Breinholt said the policy is we provide a secondary connection to everybody, and they pay the base fee, even if they plan to use their well. We need to do more planning for secondary out here. We would serve it with the existing pumps but would have to look at more ponds and pumps. All the systems are in the main part of town. They are planned for build out so until those service areas are up, there is still capacity in them. Right now, the plan is to connect to the secondary system there. We need to plan on something down here, but it all depends on how fast this happens.

The Committee continued conversations on the sewer. Engineer Breinholt said I looked into a lot of options with Director Fulgham and he wants a separate wet vault dry well. With pump-through lift stations. You should have better capacity in the double. Manager Cobabe asked about adding a smaller, second treatment plant. Chairman Seedall said as we get closer to Salt Creek, I think it would be worth considering. Engineer Breinholt said I would like to see how many acres we can catch with that depth and then we can make some decisions.
