CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 17, 2018
AGENDA #: 4E
PREPARED BY: NICK MONSERUD, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
PRESENTER: NICK MONSERUD
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE
IMPROVEMENTS FOR PIKE LAKE MARSH (#DEV15-000002)
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider a resolution accepting the
developer installed improvements for the Pike Lake Marsh 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
Pike Lake Marsh is located on the northwest quadrant of the intersection of
County Rd 42 and Pike Lake Trail. On April 10, 2017 the City Council
adopted resolution 17-043 entering into a Development Contract with Pike
Lake Marsh Limited Partnership for the Pike Lake Marsh 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
Assistant 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
letter has been received by the City.
2
Conclusion
The Assistant 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.
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.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve a resolution accepting the public improvements for the Pike
Lake Marsh Development as part of the consent agenda.
2. Approve a motion to remove this item from the consent agenda for
additional discussion.
RECOMMENDED
MOTION:
Motion and second for approval of alternative #1.
