He stated that one exception may be the need for another tower before developing the northern tier. Utilities Terry Maurer provided an overview of the current urban service district, showing the existing lines, those under construction and those that have been awarded bids. He noted that the western area construction will begin this fall which will extend sewer and water west to the County Government Building and north under Highway 10. Also, a project is being completed that will extend trunk sanitary sewer and water from School Street, through Elk Park Center up to Hillside Crossing. Terry further explained that in the future there may be a need for a 3rd or 4th phase of the Western Area. Also, an expansion may need to be done in the County Road 13 and up through to Tyler Street. He noted that the facilities are in place to service the property in the Urban Service District. Terry Maurer explained how the northern boundary of the urban service district was determined. Steve Ach questioned the limitations in developing the northern area. Terry indicated that he did not project any limitations at this time, for serving that area with sewer and water in the future. He stated that there is some excess capacity in the lines from the industrial park to the treatment plant. Discussion followed regarding the capacity of the existing utilities and the potential for limitations in future development. Presentation of East Trunk Highway 10 Feasibility Study Future Trunk Extensions East Trunk Highway 10 Feasibility Study Exhibit I - Outlines the two study areas; the Primary Study Area, and the Ultimate Study Area. Terry Maurer explained that the Primary area is bounded on the north by 5th Street, on the south by the Kelly Farm, on the west by the Mississippi River, and on the east by the center of Kliever's Marsh. The "Ultimate Study Area" includes the Primary Study Area and further extends to the east and south corporate limits. Terry Maurer noted that the primary study includes costs for extending sewer and water to a core area east along 10. The ultimate area includes costs for oversizing so that a larger area may be serviced in the future.
