Council authorizes design of developer‑funded Caroline Court sewer extension

The Montgomery City Council on Jan. 13 authorized the City Engineer to begin design work on the Caroline Court Sanitary Sewer Extension Project, a developer‑funded effort described in the council packet.

Staff said the project agreement (referenced as part of a development agreement with Parkside Capital / Villages of Montgomery) would extend sanitary sewer from the area around Lift Station 5 into the developer’s commercial reserve and allow the city to abandon a small city‑maintained lift station currently on site. The packet included an updated cost estimate and a proposal for design services. Staff said approval would be subject to receipt of a deposit from the developer.

Council moved to accept the design authorization and approved the item as presented. Council and staff clarified that Lift Station 5 would remain connected in the same location until the new configuration is built and that TriPoint (contract referenced in the packet) is under contract to move the station onto developer property.

What’s next: Staff will proceed with the design work upon receipt of developer deposit and return for subsequent design approvals and construction authorization.
