2040 Comprehensive Water Supply Guiding Principles <br />Growth of the trunk water distribution system will be consistent with the Growth Management Policies outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. The <br />timing of future trunk watermain improvements will be influenced by several parameters, including development within specific areas, regulatory <br />requirements, availability of funds, etc. As a result, it is difficult to accurately predict the timing of future improvements, especially those which <br />may occur far in the future. Therefore, the Capital Improvement Plan is intended to serve as a guide only for future fiscal planning and should be <br />reviewed on a regular basis as more current planning and cost data becomes available. The following items are general guiding principles to be <br />considered when reviewing and/or revising the City's water system fee structure: <br />Design and Maintenance <br />The City promotes design for public buildings that allows for future expansions or accessory uses and encourages multi -use functions in <br />public buildings to provide for economy in government and make the most efficient use of these facilities. The City will maintain the existing <br />infrastructure to maximize cost efficiencies in development of public projects and will work with the State, County and/or neighboring communities <br />to coordinate public infrastructure improvements and services. The City discourages leapfrog development. <br />Oversizing <br />Trunk oversizing, as defined by the City and installed as part of development projects, will be credited using the differential of pipe costs between <br />the larger and the minimum pipe size required for the development. The City shall determine if a credit will be given for a project. <br />1-1UG0 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE <br />DRAFT Dec14-17 <br />for review only <br />COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 227 <br />AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN <br />
