  • Adjust the Planned Service Area boundary for water and sewer service to include approximately 61 acres of property located west of Clarksville Pike and South of Sheppard Lane in Clarksville;
  • Adjust the Growth Tier Maps of Howard County to reflect the incorporation of said property into the Planned Service Area and the designation of the property within the Growth Tier 1 of Howard County; 
  • Designation of the property as a Targeted Growth and Revitalization Designated Place Type; and
  • Provide that certain adjustments will be null and void unless certain conditions are met.
