3. Thoughtful Utility Design: Evaluate the pros/cons of septic versus municipal sewer service. <br />Rural developments typically include individual wells and septic systems. The proposed concept plan has <br />been sized in a manner that will support this traditional well/septic rural configuration. However, based on <br />preliminary engineering review and analysis of the 2023 Feasibility Report prepared by WSB for the City of <br />Elk River, we propose that there is a unique opportunity to provide homebuyers with a hybrid utility <br />model; each lot can be served by individual wells for water service, yet can connect to Municipal Sewer via <br />the existing Windsor Lift Station (as described in the Feasibility study through the Northwest Expansion area <br />findings). <br />This hybrid well/sewer configuration has been successfully executed in many communities and provides an <br />appealing option for both homebuyers as well as municipalities. New lots would contribute Sewer Extension <br />Costs and SAC Fees, providing the funding to support long-term maintenance — providing City control over <br />the system's function. Homebuyers will benefit from the efficiencies and peace of mind that municipal sewer <br />services provide, while retaining the sought-after rural feel and character that come with well -water and <br />acreage lots. TCLD is seeking City feedback and interest in this proposed hybrid utility model. <br />We sincerely appreciate your time, and all feedback, suggestions, or questions that the City may be able to <br />provide. We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you to bring a shared vision to fruition for <br />the Ranch Road Corridor. <br />Thank you, <br />CCWLa_1 D uh`_� <br />Twin Cities Land Development <br />Ranch Road Development —Concept Plan 4.17.24 <br />143 <br />
