Site preparation activities require topsoil stripping and stockpiling. Construction activities include:
1. Deep underground utilities (water and sewer mains) will be installed.
2A. Sewage pumping station construction.
2B. Water and sewer services installed to each lot.
3. Rough grading of road right of way, ditches and lot grading.
4. Shallow utilities (power, gas & telephone) will be installed.
5. Roadway construction, topsoil replacement and landscaping.
6. Street light and signage installation.

No decommissioning of existing infrastructure is required.
