79 regular meeting, july 26, 1976 page three Mr. David Parkhill, repre~entative of Forrest and Cotton, Inc., consulting engineers, came before the Council with a preliminary study report on the impact of the proposed Westover Project on existing water and sewer facilities. Mr. Parkhill stated that the study indicated the Westover Project would have a relatively small effect on overall city water service, that the general growth of the City is likely to cause problems, and that federal funding requests would. not be enhanced by the effect of providing service to Westover in relation to the overall city service. I Bob Derrick, also of Forrest and Cotton, came before the Council with conceptual design input on the Westover Project. Mr. Derrick explained that, for planning purposes, the Westover Area had been subdivided into smaller units: Area 1 is Bishop Street proper from San Antonio Street ,north; Area 2 is the Westover Addition; Area 3 is that unit bounded by Perkins, Franklin and Bishop streets; and Area 4 is the unit bounded by Girard, Bishop, Hillyer and Franklin Streets. He also stated that the preliminary plans for improvements in the areas of drainage, sanitary sewer, water and street were considerably over the amount budgeted in the Community Development program.
