EDA in Focus
UPDATE: On ITFederal and Royal Phoenix
The purpose of this agenda item is to provide an update on IT Federal and Royal Phoenix.
• IT Federal. Site Plans and permits have been issued and utility connection fees where paid in the amount of $39,638.
• Pump Station. Pennoni Associates is presently working on a pump station plan for the Royal Phoenix project and a design for the initial pump station. Pennoni is looking into options to relocate the first pump station and to determine if a pump station is even needed at all for the first building at IT federal. Town Staff requested that Pennoni Assoicates complete this work as soon as possible.
• Royal Phoenix. The Planning Commission met in work session with a representative of Pennoni Associates about the Master Land Use Plan and Traffic Study for Royal Phoenix (everything beyond IT Federal). The Planning Commission identified a number of concerns about impacts of the project on the Town. The most significant concern raised by the Planning Commission was: Who will be paying for the proposed infrastructure? A follow-up work session was scheduled for January where the EDA would be requested to attend to answer questions.
