6. Casey Estates Subdivision - Request conditional subdivision acceptance, located in the area of 1025 W and 3200 N. (Presenter: Bruce Talbot)
Bruce Talbot: the council has a staff report. Alan Casey: there is a list of things not completed. I have asked for a list five years ago. I have a lawsuit on the development so I don’t have the as-builts. I have to finish a lot of work not done by the contractor. I don’t feel that these things should stop me from getting conditional acceptance. I thought the conditional period was for one year not two years. It will cost approximately $5,000 to finish the work, not $80,000. The date of the engineer’s letter was August 2007 and I only received it this week. The council discussed the ordinance on conditional acceptance. Bruce Talbot: with conditional acceptance the escrow is released except for 10%. It is held for two years along with the cost of any uncompleted items. Alan Casey: I have done 90% of the improvements. I am not asking for any money. CM Hjorten: there was a lack of communication and the date of the letter was August 2007. CM Humphreys: we could give a starting date and give him time to complete the items, but if they are not completed by the date then we will not honor the starting date.
Motion was made by CM Humphrey to grant conditional acceptance for Casey Estates Subdivision with the starting date as of today (1-8-08), subject to completing the list of items (1-8) in Jones and Associates letter dated 8/28/07 by April 1, 2008, and if not, the start date will be the date of completion. 2nd by CM Hjorten. Voting Aye: CM Boehme, CM Ferguson, CM Hjorten, CM Walker, and CM Humphreys. Motion passed.
7. Shady Springs Subdivision – Request conditional subdivision acceptance, located on 550 West between Pleasant View Drive and 3000 N. (Presenter: Bruce Talbot)
Chad Stokes: I am concerned with the date on the engineer’s letter which is December 2006. I am asking for a retroactive date and start conditional acceptance back to December 2006. Bruce Talbot: the city council minutes of January 23, 2007 denied conditional acceptance based on the developer agreement and water shares needed. Chad Stokes: in the spring of 2007 we took care Mrs. Thompson’s fence problem. It took time to acquire water shares. We brought those to the city in December 2007. I am asking for at least a six month retro-date. CM Walker: is everything done? Chad Stokes: yes.
Motion was made by CM Hjorten to grant conditional acceptance for Shady Springs Subdivision with the starting date of July 1, 2007 for the reason being the items where completed, but there was a problem with communications. 2nd by CM Ferguson. Voting Aye: CM Boehme, CM Ferguson, CM Hjorten, CM Walker, and CM Humphreys. Motion passed.
8. Fox Hollow Subdivision – Request conditional subdivision acceptance, located in the area of 850 W between Pleasant View Drive and 3000 N. (Presenter: Bruce Talbot)
Bruce Talbot: the fees are in question by the developer. All the improvements are done. CM Walker: There are a few problems to add to the list. There is a Pine View water valve that is leaking on a particular lot. CM Humphreys: I am aware of it. The lot owner has no right to that Pine View line. It is not our problem. Todd Walker: there is a phone line that was never covered and a sidewalk that has not been fixed.
Motion was made by CM Boehme to grant conditional acceptance to Fox Hollow Subdivision with the starting date beginning on the date the payment of the city fees are paid. 2nd by CM Hjorten. Voting Aye: CM Boehme, CM Ferguson, and CM Hjorten. Voting Nay: CM Walker. Abstain Vote: CM Humphreys. Motion passed.
