McClellan 13965 WCR 42 RE: Town of Gilcrest Proposed IGA Last time I was here I talked about the development options the proposed IGA takes away from the land owners within its boundaries, mainly minor subdivisions, and how that puts them at a disadvantage to their neighbors. I also discussed briefly how the IGA places the decisions about development with the trustees of Gilcrest, which is a government group over which the landowners in the IGA have no influence or control. There was also discussion about the overall size of the proposed IGA and the capability of Gilcrest to provide services to urban development. I have since had a chance to review Gilcrest's Comprehensive Plan and believe now more than ever that the proposed IGA overly restricts development options for landowners. It also makes the authority without accountability issue even more onerous. According to the Comprehensive Plan (2003), Gilcrest city limits encompass 448 acres (maybe a little bigger now). With 225 acres of zoned residential area and 110 acres of land being farmed. The proposed IGA has an area of 7 sections or 4480 acres, a 10-fold increase in area and an almost 20 times increase in residential area. That's not in and of itself bad but Gilcrest can't even begin to provide services to their existing area and apparently has no plan. The plan says Gilcrest currently has 339 single-family equivalent units using the existing wastewater treatment plant (600SFE capacity estimated). With an addition of 91 SFE's the WWTP would be at 85% capacity thereby triggering the need to prepare an upgrade plan and with another 90 SFE's after that the plant would be at 95% capacity and any future growth would require expansion and new construction. From these figures Gilcrest cannot even meet the requirements of their existing city limits. It has been inferred that there is some room for expansion of the current WWTP but the Comprehensive Plan makes no mention of that option. What the plan II EXHIBIT a5'-off 2005-0669 Ord does discuss are two options for a new WWTP. In my mind they are not engineered options but simply proposed sites for possible study. In the Comprehensive plan, the existing site is not considered as an option for growth because it is deemed prime commercial space. Ironically one of the option sites is now deemed prime commercial space on the IGA plat. The plan also addresses growth within the City. Their forecast is that the +90 SFE's threshold that would trigger a study of alternate WWTP options would take almost 5 years to meet and that the +180 SFE's threshold requiring new facilities would take 10 years. Given the apparent lack of services to meet even the needs for development within their existing city limits, the lengthily forecast of growth within their current boundaries, and in consideration of the concern of authority without accountability I would ask that at least the language of this proposed IGA be adjusted to not so restrict development options and/or perhaps even consider restricting the IGA to the old guidelines of '% mile from existing services. This would be about Rd 29 on the West and the football field on the North. At such time as Gilcrest generates a plan to extend services then the IGA boundaries could be reconsidered. These changes would not detract from reasonable growth in the future because the County and you Commissioners would still have influence over future proposals. Sincerely, Jack R.McClellan Hello
