INTRODUCTION
The enclosed material provides for City Council acceptance of the public improvements

BACKGROUND
As a condition of subdivision plat approval through Resolution No. 566-00, the
developer of Crescent Heights Subdivision was required to install certain improvements
including street paving with curb, sanitary sewer main, watermain, storm sewers and
catch basins, boulevard street lighting, and a stormwater detention facility and to

DISCUSSION
The Subdivision Ordinance requires that upon completion of all the required public
improvements, the subdivider shall notify the City in writing of the completion of the
improvements, requesting that the City either approve or reject the acceptance of the
improvements, together with a statement of reasons for any rejection.
On December 11, 2008, McDermott Real Estate requested City's acceptance of the
improvements in Crescent Heights Subdivision. Upon inspection by the City, it has
been determined that all public improvements required by Resolution No. 566-00 have
been completed in accordance with plans approved by the City Council and in
conformance with City specifications.
RECOMMENDATION
I would, therefore, recommend that the City Council accept the improvements.
Maintenance of said public improvements shall be the responsibility of McDermott
Excavating, and the owner, McDermott Real Estate, LLC, for a period of two (2) years
from the date of acceptance by the City Council.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution accepting the
improvements.
