Discussion/Action developing a plan to extend water and sewer services along FM 1103 to the high school site and through the Fritz Schlather tract to proposed the Cibolo Ranch Subdivision. Chuck Balcar stated that he handed out a packet that gives the cost breakdown for a water and sewer project. This would upsize the sewer with lift station and also the water line. School District cost is considerably lower than what they were just going to pay for water or sewer. Recommend that we collect impact fee and half of construction fee. The school district would pay most of theirs up front. This would also give them a credit of half of their impact fees. Problem would be Fritiz Schlather, ~ who at this time does not have a builder/buyer for his land. The big impact would be the City's share which would include$64,000 for the water project and over$300,000.00 for the sewer. These numbers were compiled from numbers provided by the City Engineer, Rudy Klein. Mayor Ruppert asked if the School district was happy with their numbers, Mr. Fluker stated that they were good. Chuck Balcar also stated that if Fritiz Schlather did not agree that the others would have to pay more and recapture their money in the future.

J Discussion/Action on Approval/Disapproval of requiring the homeowner located at 204 Meek Street to install separate sewer and separate water connections for a garage remodeled into a storage/guest bedroom. Lee Perry briefed that the individual at 204 Meek Street has merely completed the renovations It appears that this is being used as a bedroom/guesthouse. It does not meet the requirements of a dwelling. Chuck Balcar stated that there were never any permits completed at the time of construction. If the owner wants to use this as a separate dwelling it would require a separate meter for water but then this would require a variance because it does not fall into the city's zoning requirements. There's about 20 feet between the garage and the house. The job is approximately 90%complete. The owner has already paid penalties for starting the project without pulling the permit.
