REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION:
Does city council support approval of the Restated and Amended Sewer Connection Agreement with Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District?
BACKGROUND:
In the northwest area of the city, there are a number of properties where the sanitary sewer main connects to a Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District sewer line, prior to connecting back to the City of Littleton sanitary sewer system. To address this situation, the City Council entered into a Sewer Connection Agreement with Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District on March 26, 2002 to allow for up to 85 single family equivalent sewer tap connections to that portion of Platte Canyon’s sanitary sewer collection system. The 2002 agreement also included the properties located at 3200 and 3410 West Bowles Avenue and 5901 S. Watson Lane, which is part of the pending development application for Watson Lane Reserve Final Plat of Subdivision to create six single family lots.
PRIOR ACTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS:
On March 26, 2002 the City Council entered into the Sewer Connection Agreement with Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Under the 2002 Sewer Connection Agreement, the property which is part of the Watson Lane Reserve Subdivision is allowed 2 sewer tap connections. The Watson Lane Reserve Subdivision proposes to create six single family lots; therefore, an amendment to the Sewer Connection agreement is required to allow for four additional sewer tap connections. Staff has worked with the Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District on the Restated and Amended Sewer Connection Agreement.
OPTIONS/ALTERNATIVES:
Since all of the adjacent properties in the vicinity of the Watson Lane Reserve Subdivision drain to the Platte Canyon sanitary sewer line, it is not practical to provide an alternate sanitary sewer design that does not drain to the Platte Canyon sanitary sewer line. The Restated and Amended Sewer Connection Agreement needs to be approved to allow for the four additional sewer taps required for the Watson Lane Reserve Subdivision.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Each lot within the Watson Lane Reserve Subdivision shall pay sanitary sewer tap fees to both Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District and the City of Littleton, prior to issuance of a building permit.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
PROPOSED MOTION:
Proposed Motion
I move to approve the resolution approving the Restated and Amended Sewer Connection Agreement with the Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District.
