. • • <br />• Page 8 of 10 <br />Planning & Zoning Commission <br />Minutes of August 18, 1994 <br />Fred Thompson, City Engineer, presented a 10 year review of the Utility Plan. The <br />Utility Plan represents a blueprint for expanding and replacing the City infrastructure <br />into the next century. <br />He noted that most of the projects recommended in the Utility Plan are still viable. <br />Revisions and refinements to the conceptual designs will be made as we proceed <br />through the engineering process. <br />Mr. Thompson stated that many of the short term projects recommended in the <br />Utility Plan have not yet been constructed. The pace of the improvements has been <br />more gradual than anticipated by the Master Plan. Several reasons for the more <br />gradual pace aze: <br />1. Less than anticipated rate of population growth in the last decade. <br />2. In certain areas of the City, the land use densities were over estimated. <br />3. Requirements from jurisdictional agencies regarding environmental issues <br />have caused the City to refocus resources away from Capital Improvement <br />• Projects to a limited extent. <br />Mr. Thompson listed the short term project status as: <br />Sewer Plan: Projects Yet to be Completed <br />1. Big Island Slough Trunk Sewer <br />2. North 14th St. Trunk Sewer <br />3. Central La Porte Relief Sewers <br />4. Bayshore Relief Sewers <br />Sewer Plan: Projects Completed <br />1. Fairmont Pazkway Interceptor Sewer <br />2. East La Porte Relief Sewers/Pump Stations <br />The status of the Storm Water Plan follows, as presented by Mr. Thompson. <br /> <br />
