CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: APRIL 24, 2017
AGENDA #: 5G
PREPARED BY: NICK MONSERUD, PROJECT ENGINEER
PRESENTER: LARRY POPPLER, CITY ENGINEER/INSPECTIONS DIRECTOR
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE
IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE ENCLAVE AT CLEARY LAKE 2ND
ADDITION DEVELOPMENT (#DEV2013-0014)
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider a resolution accepting the
developer installed improvements for the Enclave at Cleary Lake 2nd
Addition Development.
This action is housekeeping in nature and is called for as part of the
development agreement between the Developer and the City. In essence,
this is the process through which privately installed improvements come
into public ownership pursuant to Prior Lake City Code.
History
The Enclave at Cleary Lake 2nd Addition is part of the overall Enclave at
Cleary Lake Development and is located west of Revere Rd and north of
180th Street. On May 12, 2014 the City Council adopted resolution 14-075
entering into a Development Contract with Ryland Group, Inc. for the
Enclave at Cleary Lake 2nd Addition 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 outlines 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 for the project described above 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
2
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
IMPACT:
Within the development contract for the development, revenue was
received for city administration and for city contracted construction
observation. Staff will review the City administration expenditures at the
conclusion of the warranty period and will invoice the developer if revenue
received is insufficient to cover expenses. The project security will not be
released until the warranty period has passed and project expenses
rectified. Escrow was received by the City for the development for
construction observation and any remaining escrow funds will be returned
at the conclusion of a successful warranty period. This one year warranty
period starts when the project is accepted.
Oversizing for street, watermain and sanitary sewer 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. Motion and second as part of the consent agenda to approve a
resolution accepting the public improvements for the Enclave at Cleary
Lake 2nd Addition Development as part of the consent agenda.
2. Motion and second to remove this item from the consent agenda for
additional discussion.
RECOMMENDED
MOTION:
Motion and second for approval of alternative #1.
