Title
Approving a resolution to amend the New Sweden Municipal Utility District No. 3 Development Agreement to reflect adjustments to the development requirements, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the same.
Summary
The New Sweden development agreement was created in March 2007 and established the ability to create three Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs) for purposes of establishing new residential subdivisions along the FM 973 corridor. Each of the districts specified how utilities were to be provided, the number of residential units per district, and the development standards that would be applicable. As development pressure has increased along the FM 973 corridor, the three developments are preparing to move forward with development. A modification was recently made to clarify how wastewater service will be provided, which included an adjustment to have wholesale wastewater service provided by Pflugerville through a regional lift station vs. a new wastewater plant. That agreement was approved in June 2024.
With the approved amendment to the wastewater agreement, the development agreement for the New Sweden Municipal Utility District No. 3 Development Agreement also needs to be amended to reflect the wastewater agreement and to provide further clarification on the development standards. Below are the more substantial modifications to the agreement:
Roadway: A realignment of Britta Olson, a county road, is proposed to remove an existing "S" curve through the development to increase safety. The original agreement included design and construction standards from 2005. The proposed amendment updates the requirements and states road infrastructure internal to the development will be consistent with City requirements, including requiring a minimum 4' wide sidewalk along the residential streets.The development will remain subject to Travis County requirements for a TIA and boundary street right of way dedication and improvements as may be applicable.
