information to consider the acceptance of all public improvements in the Copper Springs
Subdivision.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council accept the public improvements in the Copper Springs
Subdivision and direct staff to prepare the necessary resolution.
BACKGROUND
Centex Homes, the developer of the Copper Springs Subdivision, has requested that the City of
Elgin accept the public improvements of this subdivision for City's ownership and maintenance.
The subdivision is located along Gansett Drive and South Street, and East of Nesler Road. The
development consists of 260 lots (168 single family lots, 92 attached family duplex lots) and
three detention basins.
All public and quasi-public improvements have been completed and inspected by City personnel.
The developer has turned over the maintenance of quasi-public improvements to the
Homeowners' Associations. Acceptance of the public improvements will add approximately

fire hydrants, 13,388 lineal feet of 8" sanitary sewer, 765 lineal feet of 12" sanitary sewer, 128
