The area presents environmental, economic and social challenges. Without appropriate planning and intervention, this area could become the slum of the future. No access routes to the parcels existed and the owners were legally excluded from the mesa. In addition to access issues, the existing properties contain no municipal water, sanitary sewer, solid waste services, nor electricity.
Sales continue without full descriptions of the properties' or of the limitations that exist.
The costs of developing the Brownsville Mesa with appropriate levels of water, sewer, solid waste and other services are prohibitive. The goal is to design elements required for a master plan for the Brownsville Mesa. Your proposed design and recommendations would be used for future development, not necessarily for existing homes. There is no master plan for this bedroom community. Develop a Statement of Principles which addresses criteria for stakeholder management of the water system.
