1. Executive Summary

DISTRICT 01 is an Eco-Utility Community Investment Project that is located on 266 acres along Highway 15 in Winnsboro- Franklin Parish, Louisiana, approximately 20 miles south of Interstate 20. This shall be prime location that provides excellent transportation access for residents, commercial partners, and logistics operations.

Directly across the highway, a 46-acre industrial warehouse campus—offering over 650,000 sq ft of warehouse space within the Winnsboro Industrial Park—will be integrated into the DISTRICT 01 economic ecosystem. This facility will support wastewater-derived product processing, packaging, storage, and distribution, enhance job creation and strengthening the community’s revenue base. The warehouse property benefits from overhead sprinklers, industrial access roads, and an estimated replacement value exceeding $16 million.

Additionally, the community is strategically positioned 28 miles from the Holly Ridge META artificial intelligence data center project, creating opportunities for utility support, reclaimed water supply, logistics integration, and employment for residents.

DISTRICT 01 is a 266-acre master-planned residential subdivision designed around a resident-owned wastewater resource recovery utility. The community converts wastewater into reclaimed water, Class A biosolids, renewable natural gas (RNG), and struvite fertilizer. These revenue-generating activities support a dividend program through resident-owned stock and revenue bonds.

2. Land Use Plan

2.1 Residential + Community Core (266 Acres)

  • Entire 266 acres dedicated to the community subdivision: residential lots, parks, community amenities, roads, greenways, and public spaces.
    • Residential Lots & Neighborhoods: Flexible mix of lot sizes and product types (single-family, townhomes, small-lot cottages, and estate lots) distributed across the full 266 acres.
    • Community Amenities & Parks: Integrated throughout the 266-acre footprint.
    • Roads & Utilities: Network planned to support full-density residential build-out across all acreage.
    • Future Development Reserve: Strategically placed within the 266 acres for phased buildout.

2.2 Industrial Campus (46 Acres Across Highway 15)

The industrial campus will serve as the primary site for Wastewater Product Processing & Distribution as following:

  • Warehouse Space (650,000+ sq ft): Storage, curing, packaging, and distribution of biosolids, struvite fertilizer, and reclaimed water products.
  • RRF Support Operations: Equipment maintenance, mobile treatment units, fleet parking.
  • Energy & Technology Facilities: Space for expanding solar infrastructure, RNG compression, and battery storage.
  • Employment Hub: Stable jobs for SEUC residents across logistics, packaging, engineering, operations, and distribution.

2.3 Strategic Advantages

12. Engineering Layouts & Infrastructure

This section provides the foundational engineering design guidelines and recommended specifications for permitting and detailed design teams. It is written to be used by civil, mechanical, process, and electrical engineers as the project basis of design (BoD).

12.1 Design Criteria & Assumptions

  • Full build-out residential count (baseline): 600 homes (mid-density). Design for 0.6–0.8 MGD peak wet weather flow (PWWF), with treatment capacity sized for 0.8–1.0 MGD to allow safety margin and future expansion.
  • Average per-household wastewater generation: 250–300 gallons per day (gpd) (conservative design) — use 300 gpd for sizing.
  • Peak factor: PWWF = 4 × AADF for initial design; confirm with local codes.
  • Solids loading: 0.2–0.4 lb BOD5 / capita-day baseline for process design.
  • Force-main distance: ~0.2–1.5 miles depending on RRF siting across Highway 15; assume 1,200–5,000 ft in initial layouts.

12.2 Collection System (Within 266-Acre Subdivision)

Gravity Sewers

  • Primary trunk: 12″ PVC SDR26 or HDPE (if trenchless) located in main corridors.
  • Neighborhood mains: 8″ PVC SDR26 to 10″ PVC depending on tributary flow.
  • Service laterals: 4″ PVC from property line to main.
  • Manholes: 400–600 ft spacing on trunks, 250–400 ft on laterals (adjust to topography).

Lift Stations

  • Lift stations: 2–3 duplex pump stations (duty/standby) sized to pump peak hourly flow from highest basins; each station with capacity ~150–300 gpm with variable-frequency drives (VFDs).
  • Forcemain material: HDPE DR11 with fusion-welded joints; sized to 4″–6″ depending on flow and distance to RRF.
  • Odor control: Wet-well influent covers, activated carbon canisters on vents, chemical dosing inlet (NaOCl) where needed.

12.3 Force-main & Highway Crossing

  • Sizing: For 0.8–1.0 MGD design, force-main dia
  • Dedicated force-main from primary lift station to the 46-acre industrial RRF across Highway 15.
  • Crossing method options: directional bore (preferred), open-cut with traffic control (if allowed), or encased carrier pipe in concrete casing under roadway.
13. Parcel Map & Lot Count (Mid-Density)

1. Total Residential Acreage

  • 266 acres total
  • Dedicate land as follows:

Lot TypeAcres AllocatedLot Size (acres)# of Lots
Cottage Lots350.14250
Standard Lots800.20325
Estate Lots300.5060
Total145635 Homes

Notes:

Roads and easements integrated with underground force-main for wastewater collection.

This layout allows 635 homes while maintaining streets, parks, and greenways.

Flexibility to scale +/- 50 homes by adjusting estate vs. standard lot allocation.

14. Subdivision Layout Concept
  • Neighborhood Clusters: Group cottages along internal loops for walkability.
  • Standard Lots: Central corridors; easy access to parks, main roads, and lift stations.
  • Estate Lots: Perimeter / scenic areas for premium pricing.
  • Community Core: Clubhouse, pool, and small commercial / mixed-use amenity near main entrance.
  • Greenways & Trails: Connect residential clusters to wetlands, retention ponds, and park nodes.

Diagram: Conceptual parcel map can be created using AutoCAD or GIS based on these parameters. Each lot number, street, and utility easement can be labeled.

14.2 Typical Home Size for 0.26–0.46 Acre Lots

These lot sizes correspond to small-to-moderate single-family lots, usually quarter-acre to half-acre homes.

14.3 Typical Home Square Footage Range

1,200 – 2,400 sq ft per home

Breakdown by lot size:

Lot SizeTypical House SizeNotes
0.26 acre (~11,325 sq ft lot)1,200 – 1,800 sq ftSmaller 3-bedroom homes, cottages, compact ranch homes
0.33 acre (~14,375 sq ft lot)1,400 – 2,000 sq ftStandard suburban-type 3-4 bedroom homes
0.46 acre (~20,000 sq ft lot)1,800 – 2,400 sq ftLarger ranch-style or 4-bedroom family homes

14.4 Most common home size for rural parishes in Louisiana

About 1,500 – 1,800 sq ft

This aligns with the typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath floor plan frequently built in North Louisiana.

14.5 Designing a subdivision

You could plan homes in one of these categories:

  1. Compact Models
    • 1,200–1,450 sq ft
    • Best for affordability projects or housing-authority-compatible units.
  2. Standard Rural Family Homes
    • 1,500–1,850 sq ft
    • Most marketable and fits typical Louisiana family size.
  3. Upscale / Larger Rural Homes
    • 2,000–2,400 sq ft
    • Best for half-acre lots with garage or wider frontage.

14.6 Recommended planning assumption

If you want a single planning number:

Use 1,600 sq ft per home

→ This is right in the center of the realistic range for quarter-acre to half-acre lots.

14.7 Estimated Homes

  1. Maximum density (smallest lots)266 acres ÷ 0.26 acres/lot ≈ 1,023 homes
  2. Lowest density (largest lots)266 acres ÷ 0.46 acres/lot ≈ 578 homes
  3. Estimated Range ≈ 580 to 1,020 homes (depending on exact lot size)
Important notes
  • This is gross density — assumes 100% of the 266 acres is used for housing lots.
  • Real subdivisions usually require land for:
    • roads
    • drainage
    • utility easements
    • green space
    • detention ponds
    • rights-of-way

Typically 20–30% of land is lost to infrastructure, so realistic net capacity (after 25% land lost):

  • 0.26-acre lots: about 765 homes
  • 0.46-acre lots: about 435 homes
Final Practical Planning Range

≈ 430 to 760 buildable lots for typical subdivision design on 266 acres.

    Typical Home Size

    Typical Home Size for 0.26–0.46 Acre Lots

    These lot sizes correspond to small-to-moderate single-family lots, usually quarter-acre to half-acre homes.

    Typical Home Square Footage Range

    1,200 – 2,400 sq ft per home

    Breakdown by lot size:

    Lot SizeTypical House SizeNotes
    0.26 acre (~11,325 sq ft lot)1,200 – 1,800 sq ftSmaller 3-bedroom homes, cottages, compact ranch homes
    0.33 acre (~14,375 sq ft lot)1,400 – 2,000 sq ftStandard suburban-type 3-4 bedroom homes
    0.46 acre (~20,000 sq ft lot)1,800 – 2,400 sq ftLarger ranch-style or 4-bedroom family homes

    Most common home size for rural parishes in Louisiana

    About 1,500 – 1,800 sq ft

    This aligns with the typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath floor plan frequently built in North Louisiana.


    Designing a subdivision

    You could plan homes in one of these categories:

    1. Compact Models
      • 1,200–1,450 sq ft
      • Best for affordability projects or housing-authority-compatible units.
    2. Standard Rural Family Homes
      • 1,500–1,850 sq ft
      • Most marketable and fits typical Louisiana family size.
    3. Upscale / Larger Rural Homes
      • 2,000–2,400 sq ft
      • Best for half-acre lots with garage or wider frontage.

    Recommended planning assumption

    If you want a single planning number:

    Use 1,600 sq ft per home

    → This is right in the center of the realistic range for quarter-acre to half-acre lots.

    Estimated Homes

    1. Maximum density (smallest lots)

    266 acres ÷ 0.26 acres/lot ≈ 1,023 homes

    2. Lowest density (largest lots)

    266 acres ÷ 0.46 acres/lot ≈ 578 homes

    3 Estimated Range ≈ 580 to 1,020 homes

    (depending on exact lot size)

    ⚠️ Important notes

    • This is gross density — assumes 100% of the 266 acres is used for housing lots.
    • Real subdivisions usually require land for:
      • roads
      • drainage
      • utility easements
      • green space
      • detention ponds
      • rights-of-way

    Typically 20–30% of land is lost to infrastructure.

    If we factor that in:

    Realistic net capacity (after 25% land lost):

    • 0.26-acre lots: about 765 homes
    • 0.46-acre lots: about 435 homes

    Final Practical Planning Range

    ≈ 430 to 760 buildable lots

    for typical subdivision design on 266 acres.
