Kaptain, Mayor Presented: April 27, 2011 Adopted: April 27, 2011 Omnibus Vote: Yeas: 7 Nays: 0 Attest: s/Diane Robertson Diane Robertson, City Clerk REPORT TO MAYOR & MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL E LG I N THE CITY IN THE SUBURBS AGENDA ITEM: G MEETING DATE: April 13, 2011 ITEM: Acceptance of Public Improvements in the Edgewater Unit 2 Subdivision ($33,328 estimated five-year maintenance cost) OBJECTIVE: Fulfill the city's duties to maintain reliable infrastructure for business and recreation RECOMMENDATION: Approve the acceptance of the public improvements for ownership and maintenance in the Ed- gewater Unit 2 Subdivision BACKGROUND ribk Pulte Homes constructed an active adult single-family residence development named Edgewa- ter Unit 2 Subdivision. The development is located on the north side of Bowes Road, approx- imately 3,500 feet west of Randall Road. A location map is attached as Exhibit A. Pulte Holmes provided engineering plans which were reviewed and subsequently approved by the engineer- ing department on September 30, 2005. The city approved and subsequently recorded the final plat for Edgewater Unit 2 Subdivision in December 2005. The plat subdivided the parcel into 243 residential lots and five common par- cels (one reserved for ingress and egress and public utilities). The private streets are named Ta- hoe Trail, Harvest Valley Lane, Turtle Point Court, Rolling Ridge Lane, Heron Way Court, Cardin- al,Tuscan View Drive, Sandpiper Way, Cardinal Cove Court, Sandy Stream Lane, Cape Cod Circle and Prairie Shore Drive. Sandy Stream Lane provides access to College Green Drive (an existing public street). Easements were granted over three of the common parcels to the city. The engineering department provided field inspection throughout the construction process of public and quasi-public improvements. A consultant was utilized for review and inspection in compliance with city stormwater regulations. Pulte Homes requested that the city accept the public improvements of the subdivision for ownership and maintenance. The public improvements include water main and sanitary sewer main. In order to process acceptance of public and quasi-public improvements by the city coun- cil, the engineering department, with assistance from public works, developed a final punch list of items to be addressed. 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. Pulte Homes turned over for ownership and maintenance the five common parcels, the storm sewer system and all surface improvements to the Edgewater Unit 2 Subdivision homeowners association. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS The homeowners association will own and maintain all surface improvements such as pave- ments, sidewalks, lights, trees, parkway and lawn areas, parking areas, common drives and ap- proaches and their appurtenances. The homeowners association will also own and maintain storm sewers within the subdivision limits. The homeowners association will be responsible for snow removal within the subdivision, including pavement, drives and parking areas. Acceptance of the public improvements will add approximately 7,500 lineal feet of eight-inch water main, 2,730 lineal feet of twelve-inch water main, 140 lineal feet of sixteen-inch water main, 15 eight-inch valves in four-foot vaults, 5 twelve-inch valves in five-foot vaults, 40 fire hy- drants, 8,950 lineal feet of eight-inch sanitary sewer main, 650 lineal feet of twelve-inch sanita- ry sewer main, 60 sanitary manholes and their appurtenances to the city maintained facilities. 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 and their appurtenances will increase over time and will be included as part of the annual budgeting process. The estimated five year maintenance cost is $33,328.
