installing a lift station, constructing a line along streets and out of the natural areas, and installing
individual grinder pumps for each property; and,
WHEREAS, the Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) reflects many strategies that should be
considered smart growth initiatives and among them is the targeted growth strategy to the southwest;
