94-acre Legacy Park proposed in Hutto

The development would also dedicate right of way for a future Limmer Loop extension.

"There's nothing out there right now," Brown said.

Something to note

ATX Capital requested water service from the city, which would include 925 additional feet of a 16-inch water line to connect to an existing line that sits in front of the property. The alternative would be to add 9,000 feet of waterline to connect to the Jonah SUD system.

"In this scenario, we would have a 16-inch Jonah waterline going right along a 16-inch Hutto waterline, duplicating those that water infrastructure right in front of our property," Brown said.

What they're saying

Council expressed split views on adding the development to its water system. Mayor Mike Snyder expressed caution in contributing water for mixed-use.

"Water is more valuable than money," Snyder said.

Mayor Pro Tem Peter Gordon said that because the developer would move forward with the project regardless of if they can access city water, Hutto should capitalize on the venture.

"We would not get the impact fees, we would not get the property tax, we would not get the sales tax, we wouldn't get any that," Gordon said.

Council did not take action on the presentation, and the developer plans to return with an updated proposal.

In case you missed it

Another mixed-use development, Gateway at Hutto, also requested city water resources last month.
