RECOMMENDATION: Acceptance of the public improvements for ownership and maintenance in Longcommon Park- way and Beckman Trail of the Edgewater subdivision. BACKGROUND As part of the requirements to allow construction of an active adult single-family residence de- velopment named Edgewater Subdivision (located at the northeast corner of Bowes Road and Water Road), Pulte Homes was required to build a new collector street just east of the existing Water Road and north of Bowes Road, along the limits of the referenced subdivision. A location map is attached as Attachment A. Pulte Homes provided engineering plans which were reviewed and subsequently approved by the engineering department in May of 2005. To ensure the complete installation of the pro- posed improvements, Pulte Homes provided a performance bond in the amount of $985,209 which is 110 percent of the approved estimated cost of construction ($895,644). The city approved and subsequently recorded a plat of dedication for Longcommon Parkway, Beckman Trail and South Water Road in January of 2007. The plat dedicates the land to the city of Elgin for public roadway purposes. This section of Longcommon Parkway, starting at Bowes Road, eventually connects with Route 20. Beckman Trail connects Longcommon Parkway with the existing South Water Road. Throughout the construction process of the proposed public improvements, the engineering department provided field inspection services. For stormwater management issues, a consul- tant was utilized for both the review and inspection to ensure compliance with the adopted Kane County Stormwater Ordinance. Pulte Homes requested the city to accept the public improvements of Longcommon Parkway and Beckman Trail for ownership and maintenance. The public improvements include a storm sewer system, sidewalks, parkways, street lights, curb and gutter and pavement, In order to process acceptance of public improvements by the city council, the engineering de- partment, with assistance from public works, developed a final punch list of items to be ad- dressed. After Pulte Homes addressed all of the punch list items, a final field inspection was performed by the engineering department. All items were properly addressed and therefore considered acceptable. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS Acceptance of the public improvements will add approximately 660 lineal feet of twelve-inch storm sewer, 1,085 lineal feet of fifteen-inch storm sewer, 480 lineal feet of eighteen-inch storm sewer, 570 lineal feet of twenty-one-inch storm sewer, 630 lineal feet of twenty-seven- inch storm sewer, 23 catch basins, 15 street lights, 12 street signs, 2,880 lineal feet of improved street (including curb and gutter and sidewalk on both sides of the street and median), a 7 foot- by-3-foot box culvert and their appurtenances to the city maintained facilities. By owning and maintaining the described infrastructure,the city will ensure reliable services for residents and visitors doing business or recreational activities. INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED Staff made contact with Pulte Homes to insure all requirements were met. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS There are no direct, immediate costs associated with this acceptance. However, maintenance and operating costs for the water main, the sanitary sewer main, storm sewer and their appur- tenances will increase over time and will be included as part of the annual budgeting process. The estimated five year maintenance cost is $13,109. BUDGET IMPACT FUND(S) ACCOUNT(S) PROJECT#(S) AMOUNT AMOUNT BUDGETED AVAILABLE N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 2 LEGAL IMPACT None.
