Data and Analysis Update
The Town of Gulf Stream is a small residential community located in the southern portion of Palm
Beach County, between Boynton Beach and Delray Beach. It is approximately 521 acres in size and,
except for the Place Au Soleil subdivision which is situated on the west side of the Intracoastal
Waterway, it is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west.
In addition to the influence of world famous polo and exclusive golf, the subtropical climate,
waterfront lots, and the small town atmosphere have attracted people to the Town since the early
1920s. Through the years the population of Gulf Stream has remained small, providing homes for
less than one thousand residents.
Gulf Stream is characterized by single family homes with lush, well maintained landscaping and
extensive outdoor recreational opportunities. A few small -scale apartments and condominiums are
scattered along the beachfront with even fewer west of State Road AIA. There are no commercial,
industrial, or agricultural land uses. Amenities include two private golf clubs, a private beach and
tennis club, and a designated conservation area in the southeast portion of the town. A small private
school exists just south of the Town Hall. The school has a long- standing tradition of excellence,
recognized statewide.
The famous clubhouse at the Gulf Stream Golf Club was designed by Addison Mizner, the master
architect of South Florida. The clubhouse is complemented by the nationally recognized golf course,
considered a signature course of designer Donald Ross. Both the Town Hall and the Police Station
are fashioned after the Mediterranean Revival style clubhouse. Many of the first houses constructed
in Gulf Stream are still intact, with only minor alterations. Thirty -six of the structures were listed on
the Florida Master File in 1990. Maintained by the Florida Division of Historic Resources in
Tallahassee, this file contains pertinent data ofhistorical and archeological sites throughout the state.
The majority of the town grew as subdivisions between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal
Waterway were developed. In an effort to maintain a tranquil setting, commercial and industrial uses
were prohibited.
The Town of Gulf Stream is considered to be almost entirely built out. Within the Town, there are
34.89 acres of vacant land, scattered throughout the Town. The great majority of the vacant land is
held by government agencies and is not developable under its current zoning. There is only 2.91
acres of developable land left in the Town, all of which is within lots zoned for use as single family.
No commercial or industrial future land uses exist or are projected for Gulf Stream. Existing
commercial uses along State Road A -1 -A immediately to the north and community commercial
uses along U.S. Highway 1 in Delray Beach and Boynton Beach to the west are adequate to meet
the needs of existing and projected residents in Gulf Stream.
1 -1
Based on the analysis of the existing vacant parcels within the Town combined with the
population and household statistics from the U.S. Census and the Shimberg Center for
Affordable Housing, Rinker School of Building Construction, College of Design, Construction
and Planning at the University of Florida, the Town of Gulf Stream is essentially built -out and
will experience minor fluctuations in populations.

TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
Data and Analysis Update
There is only one main arterial roadway through the Town; State Road A -1 -A (Ocean
Boulevard), which bisects the eastern portion of Town in a north -south direction. As identified
on Metropolitan Planning Organization and Palm Beach County maps, Ocean Boulevard is a
constrained roadway, limited by existing conditions to a maximum of two lanes. This
constrained roadway and also identified as a shared facility, and marked with appropriate
signage, for vehicular and bicycle use.
The only other arterial roadway within the municipal limits is U.S. Highway One (Federal
Highway), which is adjacent to the Place Au Soleil neighborhood, which is the only portion of
the Town located west of the Intracoastal Waterway. U.S. Highway One is a state - maintained
roadway. These State roadways which run through Town are generally operating below the
adopted level of service standard of "D," as indicated in the Table below.
Traffic Counts (Daily Trins) on Arterial Roadways within Town of Gulf Stream
Source: Palm Beach County Engineering Department, Traffic Division
The remainder of the roads within Gulf Stream are local roads and are maintained by the Town.
These local roadways are in good condition and operate well below the level of service. As
shown in the Future Land Use Element, the Town is essentially built -out with only a handful of
vacant single family lots available for new development. The Town's population is only
expected to rise 34 residents within the next 10 years.
As limited development or redevelopment is projected for the near future of the Town, it is
projected that all future land uses and associated trips can be accommodated by the existing
traffic circulation network. The roadways within the Town's jurisdiction are satisfactory with
only typical maintenance planned. There are no capital improvement projects that would incur
the expenditure of Town funds projected for either the 5 or 10 year planning periods.

These statistics clearly indicate the average resident of Gulf Stream is older, in a higher income
bracket and owns a higher value home than that of the typical American family and also higher
than the typical Palm Beach County resident. There are no substandard houses located within the
Town.
As a result of its desirable location adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway,
the Town contains high land values, significantly higher than the average land cost is Palm Beach
County. As a result, providing affordable housing within the Town is difficult at best. The
Town encourages the development of auxiliary structures to single family homes, which allows
for localized affordable and work force housing. In addition, the Town recognizes that
affordable and work force housing is a county -wide issue that needs to be addressed in a
comprehensive manner. The Town will work through the Palm Beach County Intergovernmental
Plan Amendment Review Committee to facilitate that goal.

Infrastructure Element
Sanitary Sewer Sub — Element
Data and Analysis Update
A large percentage of the Town currently uses private septic systems to handle their wastewater
service. However, there are several private systems within the community. There is a private low
pressure sanitary system operated by homeowners in the Gulf Stream Core area. In 1991, the Gulf
Stream Home Improvement Association was created to service the Gulf Stream Core area. This
Association services 71 single family homes and the Gulf Stream School. The Somerset of
Gulfstream residential project has its own system, as does Gulfstream Shores. The Little Club Plant,
which previously serviced the Little Club area, Las Casistas and Hillside House is no longer
functional and those areas connected to the City of Boynton Beach.
Gulf Stream has recognized the need for a municipality -wide wastewater system to replace the septic
system currently in use throughout most of the Town. The Town continues to assess and evaluate
the financial feasibility this potential capital improvements.
The current arrangement of septic systems and small private sewer systems in place are able to
handle the Town's wastewater adequately at this time. Since the remaining developable land is
minimal and primarily single family lots, septic systems would handle any new development as well.
Developers are responsible for the cost of wastewater improvements necessary for their development
and redevelopment projects

Solid Waste Sub — Element
Data and Analysis Update
The Solid Waste Authority (SWA) of Palm Beach County accepts all waste generated in the County.
All SWA facilities are located outside of the Town and operated by SWA. According to Palm Beach
County's EAR (approved October 19, 2004), the County and thereby the Town of Gulf Stream meet
the requirements of CH. 403 F.S. through the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan (ISWMP).
The Town contracts with Waste Management Inc. to provide pick -up and disposal of all solid waste.
All Town residents are required to use this service. All waste collected are transported to the South
County Transfer Station located in the City of Delray Beach.
The Town's long range planning for this sub - element is addressed within the County's adoption of
the ISWMP. The Town will have adequate solid waste collection capacity for new development. The
service is funded on a cost recovery basis by the users. Regional solid waste disposal and recovery
facilities serve the Town. There are no capital improvement projects that would incur the expenditure
of Town funds projected for either the 5 or 10 year planning periods.
Below is an analysis of the Town's solid waste disposal level of service during the 20 -year
planning timeframe.

Drainage & Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub — Element
Data and Analysis Update
The drainage system for the Town has developed over the previous 100 years and is a mixture of
various public improvements by the State, County and Town. The Town adopted a Level of Service
Standard of 24 hour /3 year return storm water event and has adopted a storm water retention level
of service standard for new development and major redevelopment which requires the retainment
of the first one inch of runoff on the development site.
New development is responsible for the cost of drainage improvements necessitated by the project's
impact. Due to the fact that there is a limited amount development that can occur within the Town
the current drainage system and level of service standards are considered sufficient for the current

Potable Water Sub — Element
Data and Analysis Update
The Town of Gulf Stream is a part of the City of Delray Beach potable water service area. The Town
of Gulf Stream purchases water from the City of Delray Beach but maintains the water lines. Delray
Beach bills the Town based on water consumption as measured at the master meters. The Town then
bills individual residents based on their water consumption.
The Water Service Agreement with the City of Delray Beach dated June 17, 1998 states that the City
of Delray Beach sells and delivers to the Town of Gulf Stream all water necessary to fulfill the water
requirements of the Town, up to 800,000 gallons per day. The agreement is for 25 years until 2023
unless the agreement is extended. In addition to this agreement, the Town has a backup water
agreement with the City of Boynton Beach. This back up agreement dated May 19, 1998, provides
the Town with water from the City of Boynton Beach via an existing 6 inch main located at the north
end of the Town, should the water service from Delray Beach fail.
According to the City of Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan their treatment plant was constructed
in 1972, with a programmed life of 50 years (2022). The design capacity is established by its clarifier
capacity of (28 mgd). The demand for the year 2000 was 16.4 mgd with a peak of 20.5 mgd. The
build out demand is estimated at 18.3 mgd with a peak of 22.8 mgd. The amount of withdrawal from
the existing 30 wells (programmed 38 wells total yielding 49.74 mgd) is established, through South
Florida Water Management District consumptive use permit at 21.08 mgd.
In 1989, the Town's average demand was 0.659 mgd, 0.604 mgd for the year 2000 and .699 for the
year 2005. The average Level of Service for 1989 was 1021 gcd with a projection of 1021 gcd for
the year 1995. The actual level of service for the year 2000 was reported at 846 gcd and for 2005 was
979 gcd. This reflects a lower level of service and therefore a conservation of water even though the
Town's population increased.
Although the Town has reduced its overall consumption of water since the 1989 Comprehensive
Plan, additional water conservation measures have been provided. Since the its Comprehensive Plan
was adopted, the Town has adopted land development regulations which limit irrigation to three days
a week during non - daylight hours in order to avoid water loss through evaporation. The Town's
Land Development Regulations also provides the Town Manager with additional powers to further
restrict water use in the Town during emergency situations.
Additionally, the Town has adopted an inverted rate structure in which the rate increases
proportionally with water consumption. The Town's Landscape Code requires the use of native
vegetation whenever possible and rain sensors and other water - saving plumbing devices are also
encouraged. A new policy requires the maintenance of these water - saving land development
regulations. Another policy has been added requiring the Town to study and encourage the use of
drip irrigation and other water - saving irrigation methods as a means of reducing the overall water
requirement of the Town. Drip irrigation can save up to 50% of the water used by a sprinkler
4D -1
irrigation system. By addressing the method of irrigation, the Town can significantly reduce its
water use.
Level of Service Analysis
Based on the actual use rates, the potable water Level of Service for the Town is 979 gallons per
capita per day. However, the actual level of service for the Town is the 800,000 gallons per day that
is available to the Town through its Water Service Agreement with the City of Delray Beach. Below
is a chart using the latest population projections and the Town's potable water level of service.
As indicated in the above table, the Town has enough capacity, through its water service agreement,
to meet its project population.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Town of Gulf Stream Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) is
to identify and plan for the water supply sources and facilities needed to serve existing and
new development within the local government's jurisdiction. Chapter 163, Part II, F.S.,
requires local governments to prepare and adopt Work Plans into their comprehensive
plans.
Residents of the Town of Gulf Stream obtain their water directly from the City of Delray
Beach, which is responsible for ensuring that enough capacity is available for existing and
future customers.
The Town of Gulf Stream Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) will reference the
initiatives already identified in Delray Beach's Work Plan since the Town is a retail buyer.
According to state guidelines, the Work Plan and the comprehensive plan amendment
must address the development of traditional and alternative water supplies, bulk sales
agreements and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing
and new development.
The City's Work Plan is divided into four sections:
Section 1 — Introduction
Section 2 — Background Information
Section 3 — Data and Analysis
Section 4 — Work Plan Projects /Capital Improvement Element/Schedule
1.1 Statutory History
The Florida Legislature has enacted bills in the 2002, 2004, and 2005 sessions to address
the state's water supply needs. These bills, especially Senate Bills 360 and 444 (2005
legislative session), significantly changed Chapter 163 and 373 Florida Statutes (F.S.) by
strengthening the statutory links between the regional water supply plans prepared by the
water management districts and the comprehensive plans prepared by local governments.
In addition, these bills established the basis for improving coordination between the local
land use planning and water supply planning.
1.2 Statutory Requirements
Each local government must comply with the following requirements:
1. Coordinate appropriate aspects of its comprehensive plan with the appropriate
water management district's regional water supply plan, [163.3177(4)(a), F.S.]
2. Ensure that its future land use plan is based upon availability of adequate water
supplies and public facilities and services [s.163.3177(6)(a), F.S., effective July 1,
2005]. Data and analysis demonstrating that adequate water supplies and
associated public facilities will be available to meet projected growth demands must
accompany all proposed Future Land Use Map amendments submitted to the
Department for review. The submitted package must also include an amendment to
the Capital Improvements Element, if necessary, to demonstrate that adequate
4Da -1
public facilities will be available to serve the proposed Future Land Use Map
modification.
3. Ensure that adequate water supplies and facilities area available to serve new
development no later than the date on which the local government anticipates
issuing a certificate of occupancy and consult with the applicable water supplier
prior to approving building permit, to determine whether adequate water supplies
will be available to serve the development by the anticipated issuance date of the
certificate of occupancy [s.163.3180 (2)(a), F.S., effective July 1, 2005]. This "water
supply concurrency" is now in effect, and local governments should be complying
with the requirement for all new development proposals. In addition, local
governments should update their comprehensive plans and land development
regulations as soon as possible to address these statutory requirements. The latest
point at which the comprehensive plan must be revised to reflect the concurrency
requirements is at the time the local government adopts plan amendments to
implement the recommendations of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR).
4. For local governments subject to a regional water supply plan, revise the General
Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater
Aquifer Recharge Element (the "Infrastructure Element "), within 18 months after the
water management district approves an updated regional water supply plan, to:
a. Identify and incorporate the alternative water supply project(s) selected by
the local government from projects identified in the updated regional water
supply plan, or the alternative project proposed by the local government
under s. 373.0361(7), F.S. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.];
b. Identify the traditional and alternative water supply projects, bulk sales
agreements, and the conservation and reuse programs necessary to meet
current and future water use demands within the local government's
jurisdiction [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]; and
c. Include a water supply facilities work plan for at least a 10 -year planning
period for constructing the public, private, and regional water supply facilities
identified in the element as necessary to serve existing and new
development. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.] Amendments to incorporate the water
supply facilities work plan into the comprehensive plan are exempt from the
twice -a -year amendment limitation. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]
5. Revise the Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements to include any water
supply, reuse, and conservation projects and programs to be implemented during
the five -year period.
6. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes
described in Paragraph 1 through 5 above, revise the Conservation Element to
assess projected water needs and sources for at least a 10 -year planning period,
considering the appropriate regional water supply plan, the applicable District Water
Management Plan, as well as applicable consumptive use permit(s). [s.163.3177
(6)(d), F.S.]
If the established planning period of a comprehensive plan is greater than ten years,
the plan must address the water supply sources necessary to meet and achieve the
4Da -2
existing and projected water use demand for established planning period,
considering the appropriate regional water supply plan. [s.163.3167 (13), F.S.]
7. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes
described in Paragraphs 1 through 5 above, revise the Intergovernmental
Coordination Element to ensure coordination of the comprehensive plan with
applicable regional water supply plans and regional water supply authorities' plans.
[s.163.3177(6)(h)1., F.S.]
8. Address in the EAR, the extent to which the local government has implemented the
10 -year water supply facilities work plan, including the development of alternative
water supplies, and determine whether the identified alternative water supply
projects, traditional water supply projects, bulk sales agreements, and conservation
and reuse programs are meeting local water use demands. [s.163.3191 (2)(1), F.S.]
2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.1 Overview
The Town of Gulf Stream was incorporated in 1925, as a small, seasonal, beachfront
community. The Town's unique location with the great majority of the municipal land
situated on a barrier island has helped maintain its strictly residential character. The Town
can not expand its jurisdictional boundaries much farther than it currently exists. The Town
is bounded to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the west by the Intracoastal Waterway and
U.S. 1, to the north is the City of Boynton Beach and the small municipalities of Briny
Breezes and Ocean Ridge. To the south is the City of Delray Beach. The Town is
approximately 521 acres or 0.81 square miles. The Town is considered almost entirely
built out. Within the Town, there are 34.89 acres of vacant land, scattered throughout the
Town. The great majority of this vacant land is held by government agencies and is not
developable under its current zoning. This is only 2.91 acres of developable land left in the
Town, all of which are zoning for single family residential development. There are no
vacant multi - family properties within the Town. No commercial or industrial future land use
designated lands exist or are projected for Gulf Stream.
As indicated above, the Town of Gulf Stream is substantially built -out. Between 1990 and
2000, the Town of Gulf Stream's population grew from 690 to 716, an increase 0.37%
percent per year. It is estimated that the population will increase to 768 in 2010, which is a
increase from the 746 in 2005. Build out is projected to be reached in 2015 with a
population of 791.
2.2 Relevant Regional Issues
As the state agency responsible for water supply in the Lower East Coast planning area,
the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) plays a pivotal role in resource
protection, through criteria used for Consumptive Use Permitting. As pressure increased
on the Everglades ecosystem resource, the Governing Board initiated rule making to limit
increased allocations dependent on the Everglades system. As a result, the Regional
Water Availability Rule was adopted by the Governing Board on February 15, 2007 as part
of the SFWMD's water use permit program. This reduced reliance on the regional system
4Da -3
for future water supply needs, mandates the development of alternative water supplies,
and increasing conservation and reuse.
3. DATA AND ANALYSIS
3.1 Population Information
The Town's existing and future population figures are derived from U.S. Census figures,
the Palm Beach County Planning and Zoning Department, the University of Florida,
Shimberg Center. Between 1990 and 2000, the Town of Gulf Stream's population grew
from 690 to 716, an increase of 0.37 percent per year. In 2005, it was estimated that the
Town's population had increased to 736 residents. By 2009, the Town's population is
estimated to increase to 754; 2014 to 772; and 2024 to 801. This minor population growth
is reflective of the fact that the Town is substantially built -out, with future development
potential and population growth limited by the scarcity of vacant and developable land.
3.2 Maps of Current and Future Areas Served
The map depicting current Town boundaries and Future Land Use Plan designation served
by the City of Delray Beach's Public Utilities Division for potable water distribution is
provided.
3.3 Potable Water Level of Service Standard
In its 1989 Comprehensive Plan for the Town, a potable water level of service of 800
gallons per capita per day was established. Currently, the average level of service
demand in 2005 was 979 gallons per capita per day.
This average level of service demand is consistent with the existing Water Service
Agreement between the City of Delray Beach, which is the Town's potable water provider,
and the Town, which is the consumer. This agreement permits the Town to purchase up
to 800,000 gallons of potable water per day. The 2005 average demand for water was
699,000 gallons of potable water per day.
Based on the actual usage of potable water in the Town, the Level of Service for the Town
shall be revised to 979 gallons per day per capita. With the anticipated 2029 population of
810 persons, the level of service would result in a maximum of 792,990 gallons of water a
day, which is within the limitations of the Town's Water Service Agreement with the City of
Delray Beach. This projection assumes that current level of service. With the additional
emphasis on water conservation in the public and private sectors, it is anticipated that the
per capita water use will decrease in the near time frame.
It should also be noted that the Town has an alternative water service agreement with the
City of Boynton Beach, should there be any interruption of water service with the City of
Delray Beach. Please also note that there are no commercial and industrial lands

3.5 Water Supply Provided by Other Entities
The City of Delray Beach Water Supply Facilities Work Plan is included by reference. The
intent of the City of Delray Beach's Work Plan is to meet the statutory requirements
mentioned in subsection 1.2 of this plan and to coordinate the City Work Plan's water
supply initiatives with the SFWMD's Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update.
The City's Water Treatment plant is a 26.0 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) lime softening
treatments facility. Water is pumped from 30 wells throughout the City and transmitted
through underground lines to the treatment facility. The treated water is then distributed
throughout the City and to the Town of Gulf Stream through underground transmission
pipes. The City has more than 426 miles of water distribution and transmission mains,
19,200 service lines, 7,500 valves and 2,456 fire hydrants. The Town of Gulf Stream owns
and maintains its transmission lines.
3.6 Conservation
The Town will coordinate future water conservation efforts with the City of Delray Beach
and the SFWMD to ensure that proper techniques are applied. In addition, the Town will
continue to support and expand existing goals, objectives and policies in the
comprehensive plan that promotes water conservation in a cost - effective and
environmentally sensitive manner. The Town will continue to actively support the SFWMD
and the City of Delray Beach in the implementation of new regulations or programs that
are design to conserve water during the dry season.
3.7 Reuse
State law supports reuse efforts. For the past years, Florida's utilities, local governments,
and water management districts have led the nation in implementing water reuse programs
that increase the quantity of reclaimed water used and public acceptance of reuse
programs. Section 373.250(1) F.S. provides that "water reuse programs designed and
operated in compliance with Florida's rules governing reuse are deemed protective of
public health and environmental quality." In addition, Section 403.064(1), F.S., provides
that "reuse is a critical component of meeting the state's existing and future water supply
needs while sustaining natural systems." The Town of Gulf Stream supports water reuse
initiatives under consideration by both the SFWMD and the City of Delray Beach.
4.0 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Once the City of Delray Beach completes its Water Supplies Facilities Work Plan,
the Town's Water Supply Plan will be updated. There are no Potable Water Capital
Improvements planned by the Town during the next five years. Only routine
maintenance paid for by general revenues are anticipated during the next five years.

Data and Analysis Update
The entire Town is located within the Coastal Area and within the identified Coastal High
Hazard Area, as defined by Chapter 163.3178 and identified on the Palm Beach County Coastal
High Hazard Map and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council. As such, the Town's
population would have to evacuate if the area is threatened by a Category 1 hurricane or stronger.
As detailed within the Future Land Use Element, the Town is substantially built out and only
minor fluctuations in the resident population is expected during the next 20 years. As such, there
is no significant impact anticipated. to the Town's Hurricane preparedness and evacuation
activities.

Recreation and Open Space Element
Data and Analysis Update
The Town of Gulf Stream has approximately 178 acres of recreation and open space area consisting
of the Gulf Stream Golf Club, The Little Club, and the Gulf Stream Bath and Tennis Club. These
clubs are all private and include a combination of golf, tennis and swimming facilities. Public beach
access is available at the eastern end of Sea Road with public parking available at the Town Hall and
at the County's Gulfstream Park located immediately north of the Town. Additionally, the City of
Delray Beach has extensive public access beaches just south of Town.
An 8.41 acre site located on the west side of the Intracoastal Waterway, north of Place Au Soleil is
owned by the Gulf Stream Golf Club and is zoned for Outdoor Recreation. This would add to the
Town's available recreation facilities were it to be improved under its current zoning.
The existing facilities meet the demands of current residents. Since the vacant developable land is
minimal, the available parks and recreation facilities are more than adequate for existing and future
populations, as indicated in the table below. There are no capital improvement projects that would
incur the expenditure of Town funds projected for either the 5 or 10 year planning periods.

Capital Improvement Element
Data and Analysis Update
As indicated in this document, the Town of Gulf Stream is a small residential community that is
considered to be almost entirely built out. Within the Town, there are 34.89 acres of vacant land,
scattered throughout the Town. The great majority of the vacant land is held by government
agencies and is not developable under its current zoning. There is only 2.91 acres of developable
land left in the Town, all of which is within lots zoned for use as single family. No commercial
or industrial future land uses exist or are projected within the Town.
Based on the analysis of the existing vacant parcels within the Town combined with the
population and household statistics from the U.S. Census and the Shimberg Center for
Affordable Housing, Rinker School of Building Construction, College of Design, Construction
and Planning at the University of Florida, the Town of Gulf Stream is essentially built -out and
will experience minor fluctuations in populations.
Because of the lack of vacant land, the constrained nature of the Town's main roadway, and the
current quality state of municipal facilities and services, limited impact to the Town's levels of
service are anticipated during the next 20 years. As a result, the Town's Capital Improvement
Budget for the next five years do not introduce any new capital improvements, but it does
provide for the continued maintenance of the town's facilities.
Below is an analysis of the impact of the Town's projected populated on the adopted levels of
service.
