The cost to the City would be around $350,000.00 to develop facilities on the peninsula.

As to using the 8" line stubbed out on the outside of the park to serve the developers, the City Manager stated at such time it is economically justified to spend roughly $350,000.00; then this might be worked out. Mr. Davidson filed a petition with some 40 signatures of the land owners in the area noting the development of the H. R. Smith Subdivision just west of the power plant had been curtailed due to regulations regarding sewage disposal; and stating since the property is within the boundaries of the Manor Independent School District and the growth of the area is of great concern, they asked to be of help in his efforts to obtain sewage line services from the City of Austin.
