BP–
Simmons Forest Addition is located in the Northeast portion of the
City. It is located east of N. Kimball, east of Shady Lane and North
of SH 114. The area is located just west of Jones Branch.
The closest lift station is the Shady Lane Lift Station. Due to the flow
line elevation of the Shady Lane lift station, it does not provide sewer
service to this area. In order to sewer this area, a new force main
would be required to be constructed from a low point (new lift station
required) that would allow the sewer effluent to be pumped back to
the Shady Lane Lift Station.

In 1998, An agreement between the two cities was executed for the
purpose of providing mutual sewer service to the other city.
Southlake has constructed a line and serves into a Grapevine Lift
Station. Each city was to provide other with service for 40 lots.
Grapevine has never taken advantage of providing sewer service
from Southlake. They do not plan to take advantage of sewering any
of the Grapevine properties under this agreement into Southlake.
Grapevine currently provides sewer service for 35 Southlake lots.
The agreement as executed expires in September of 2008 and
Southlake must have its sewer removed from the Grapevine system
by that date under the terms of the agreement.
Grapevine records indicate that Southlake has reached the 40 lot
limit. Southlake has performed an investigation and is preparing
letter to document lots current served under the agreement.
Additional undeveloped lots will require some type of sewer service
as a portion of these undeveloped lots are located in the floodplain.

The purpose of this map is to give you a feel for the sewer situation
in the area.
The green lots indicate those with sewer accounts. The pink
(salmon) colored lots indicate those lots on a private septic system.
The yellow lots are vacant.

Now, I’d like to give you the Public Works perspective of entering into this
agreement with the City of Grapevine. If Southlake were to enter into this
NOT
agreement, the City of Southlake will be required to provide sanitary sewer
service to the Simmons Forest Addition and the Grapevine Plaza Addition.
Together, these improvements are estimated at $1,185,000.
Staff proposed an expenditure of $350,000 for the Simmons Addition in the
upcoming CIP that is before you this evening. If you were to approve the
proposed agreement with the City of Grapevine, this money could be reallocated
to another of the city’s utility needs.
If the Cities were to approve this proposed agreement, the city would forego the
additional costs of maintaining 2 new lift stations and force mains for these
areas. Another benefit of entering into this agreement would be the ability to
immediately provide sanitary sewer service for the remaining undeveloped
properties of the Simmons Forest Addition.
The one negative that could be perceived is that sanitary sewer service will be
provided to our residents by another city

At this point, we will entertain any questions. Please remember that this item
has been posted under the “seek advice of the city attorney” exemption, so we
should try to focus on the legal issues.
