No. 4
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed material provides for City Council acceptance of the stormwater detention
facilities which the developer, Nemmers Cedar Ridge Farm Limited Partnership, has
recently completed in Cedar Ridge Farm Place No. 4.
BACKGROUND
As a condition of subdivision plat approval through Resolution No. 350-01, the
developer of Cedar Ridge Farm Place No. 4 was required to install certain
improvements including street paving, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, watermain, street
lighting, and stormwater detention facilities and to dedicate these improvements to the
City upon completion. Since over 80 percent of the lots are developed, the developer
has formally requested the City's acceptance of the stormwater detention facilities which
have been installed. The remaining public improvements were previously accepted by
Resolution No. 321-03 on September 15, 2003.
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 18, 2008, Cedar Ridge Family Partnership requested City's acceptance
of the stormwater detention facilities in Cedar Ridge Farm Place No. 4. Upon inspection
by the City, it has been determined that the stormwater detention facilities required by
Resolution No. 350-01 have been completed in accordance with plans approved by the
City Council and in conformance with City specifications.
Inspections, administrative and maintenance expenses incurred by the City of Dubuque
for the stormwater detention facilities (Lot B and Lot C) shall be assessed against Lot 1
through 7 and subdivisions thereof, in proportion to the acreage of each lot as a
percentage of the acreage in the subdivision. Such costs will be dependent upon the
condition of the facility. The City Manager shall certify such costs to the City Clerk, who
in turn shall promptly certify such costs to the Dubuque County Treasurer, and such
costs shall then be collected with and in the same manner as general property taxes in
accordance with provisions of law.
RECOMMENDATION
would, therefore, recommend that the City Council accept the stormwater detention
improvements. Maintenance of said stormwater detention facilities shall be the
responsibility of the City of Dubuque with said maintenance costs being assessed to the
property owners within the subdivision.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution accepting the stormwater
detention improvements.
