Based on negotiations between the City of Round Rock and Windermere, the two parties have reached an agreement on a revised CCN boundary. The revised CCN boundary location was based on the current property boundaries, currently provided wastewater service, and the natural topography of the land. The revised CCN boundary more or less mirrors current property boundaries, and attempts to provide for the most efficient wastewater system. The original agreement revising the CCN boundary was signed on February 9, 2017. This amendment to the original agreement slightly modifies the CCN boundary as stated in the first agreement. The new proposed CCN boundary is shown in Exhibit C and Exhibit D of the revised agreement. Based on the revised agreement, the City of Round Rock will release 38.9 acres to Windermere, and Windermere will release 284.7 acres to the City of Round Rock. Staff recommends the execution of this amended and restated agreement for the wastewater CCN boundary change. After approval, these changes will be submitted for formal adoption into the official CCN boundary map held at the Public Utility Commission. City olRound Rock Page f PNnfed on 1/3002019
