Mr. Tohme then went over the amenities that this RV Park would have. Mr. Tohme then informed Council that the only challenge with this project would be the sanitary sewer capacity that the area currently has. Mr. Tohme stated that after speaking with some of the City staff that staff members do not believe that the current sanitary sewer system can actually support this project's sanitary sewer. That is why Lady Luck is proposing an On-site Sewage Facilities system until the City can handle the sanitary sewer from Lady Luck then it would be switched to the City's system. This type of system is regulated by both TCEQ and Jefferson County. Mr. Tohme also informed Council that there would be no commercial or industrial waste and that it would be purely domestic Mr. Tohme then introduced Carl and John from Bosco Industries.

Mr. Pedraza stated that he doesn'tfeel like this system should be allowed into our city because it is mostly used in rural areas. Mr. Pedraza then stated he believes they should hook up to the water/sewer system of the city. Public Works Director Troy Foxworth stated that there is a bottleneck and it will burden our system but there is the option of Lady Luck installing a lift station at their facility. Mr. Foxworth then stated that per the City Ordinance they have to plan to be able to use our system ifi it is available and it is available. Mr. Carruth stated that if they are within 200 ft the developer is required to the system and if the existing system can't handle the development then the burden is on the developer to improve the system to meet their needs, which is standard practice across the country. Mayor Borne asked Mr. Foxworth for a report from the City's side of it SO Council can discuss this further before making any decisions. Mr. Foxworth then stated that if we allow an OSSF System for this project then that Councimember Dugas asked if there is a danger allowing this type of system to be installed and Mr. Carruth stated as fiduciaries of the water/sewer system there is a danger in allowing this because that's how the system is expanded. Mr. Carruth also stated that the developers of the property have the duty and obligation to pay for the service to get to them if they are within 200 feet. Mayor Borne stated that there needs to be a dedicated time to really go over everything as a Council to be able to make the best decision. Mr. Tohme agrees that the ordinance needs to be looked at because it is the law of the City but he also states that Council Mayor Borne then stated that no action will be taken at this meeting; the Planning and Zoning Commission will meet independently and submit a recommendation to the City Council; final  would have to allow others to do the same.  does have the ability to modify the ordinances.  determination of the request will be made at a future City Council meeting.
