CITY OF FLORESVILLE MASTER PLAN
Over the course of the development of this master plan, the sewer line beneath Pecan Street was
reviewed. This line has been seriously compromised by tree roots which have permanently and
irrevocably damaged a section of the line. This line should be assessed and properly mitigated. Ideally
the correction of the deficiency should correspond with road maintenance on Pecan Street so as to
minimize cost.
Low Priority
The remaining recommendations, all of which are lower priority are summarized in accordance with the
infrastructure category in which they fall.
1. Wastewater
The Pajarito and FM97 lift stations should be expanded to support future growth. Also, a
trailer mounted generator should be purchased to provide mobile power to keep lift
stations and the plant running in case of power failure.
2. Parks
Park facilities should be built behind the community center to fully utilize the site.
Bathroom facilities at Pecan Park should be upgraded. As these bathrooms are in the
floodplain two options remain: Making improvements of less than 50% of the cost of the
building or elevating the structure. A pecan tree revitalization plan should be put in
place at Pecan Park to ensure the trees continue to be there for generations. A privacy
fence should be built in Canta Rana Park along the boundary with the WWTP. It would
be beneficial to the community to work with SARA to develop and promote the Rancho
de las Cabras National Historic Area. Finally opportunities to develop small parks in
underserved areas should be sought as land and funding becomes available.
3. Streets
Begin repair work on streets as money is available. Phases have been split up into
approximately 20,000 foot of road with the highest ranked streets at the top. The city
should strive to repair at least this much if not more each year.
4. Drainage
o Have hydraulic analysis done on the area that starts at the intersection of 6 th and B
street and runs to 5 th street and on 5 th street from B street to D street. Complete any
reasonable design improvements found to reduce flooding. Many water crossings do
not have guard rails. A study should be conducted to determine how many guard rails
are needed and the costs associated with each. Then, guard rails should be installed as
money is available.
