This action is housekeeping in nature as the staff has already accepted the improvements specified in the development contracts as noted below. History The Eagle Creek Estates Development is located north of County Road 21 and west of Markley Lake. On July 8, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution 13-086 entering into a Development Contract with KRB Development, Inc. for the Eagle Creek Estates Development. Since that City Council action, the developer has been completing the construction of the improvements as outlined in the Development Contract. The Development Contract and approved construction drawings outline the necessary developer installed improvements as well as other items needed for this development to be accepted by the City. The Development Contract for each of these developments details the mechanisms for City acceptance of the developer installed improvements. In 2005, the City amended the Standard Development Contract to include City Council authorization to accept the improvements in addition to the final written acceptance by the City Engineer. Current Circumstances The developer has now completed the improvements as outlined in the Development Contract. The improvements have been inspected by the City and have been found to be in compliance with City standards and the approved drawings. In some cases minor field changes were necessary during construction. These improvements including any field adjustments were documented in the completed as-built drawings. These as-built drawings were completed by the developer and reviewed by the City. The property iron certification letter has been received by the City. Conclusion The City Engineer has reviewed the improvements and has written the acceptance letter for these developments. It is now appropriate for the City Council to accept the improvements for these developments. ISSUES: Once the improvements are accepted, the public improvements will then be turned over to the City and the security for the development returned to the developer. It will then be the responsibility of the City to perform maintenance over the public improvements and take over operational costs for the street lighting on the project. FINANCIAL An escrow in the amount of$95,563 for consulting and construction IMPACT: inspection was received by the City for this development. An additional $13,680 was received for consulting and construction inspection to cover additional inspection time spent on the Development. These dollars have been reserved in the Developers Agreement Special Revenue fund for payment. Any remaining escrow funds intended for construction inspection will be returned to the developer at the conclusion of a successful warranty period (1 year). Oversizing for street, storm sewer and watermain construction was paid by the City to the Developer through the Development Contract. The costs for these improvements have been reconciled with the Developer through the Development Contract and no additional compensation is necessary. ALTERNATIVES: 1.
