Ms. Arlene Higueros represents Mr. Francisco Manzo, Jr. and is requesting sewer service from the city. The property (434 Sunflower Circle) is within the city limits of Kyle and the owner intends to build a new home on this parcel.
The closest available wastewater line is approximately 150 feet away and is located on Amberwood Loop. There is an existing 10' Public Utility Easement located between the existing homes.
A new public wastewater line would need to be constructed between the existing homes to connect to the existing line on Amberwood Loop. There could be some possible utility conflicts, but the main issue is the disruption and inconvenience to the adjacent residents/home owners caused by any construction. Additionally, any maintenance operations would be hampered by the close proximity of the existing homes and fences.
City Code Section 41-142(f)(2) states as follows:
No permit shall be issued for the installation of a septic tank on any lot, tract or parcel within the jurisdiction of the city if adequate sewer service is available within 500 feet of the property line of the lot to be served.
City staff recommends approval of a waiver and recommends the installation of a septic system for the property at 434 Sunflower Circle. |
