TO:Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM:Michael A. Koch, Public Works Director
SUBJECT:Acceptance of Public Improvements in Jaeger Heights Subdivision
No. 2 - Phase 2
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed material provides for City Council acceptance of the public
improvements which the developer, Lloyd S. Gudenkauf, has recently completed
in Jaeger Heights Subdivision No. 2 - Phase 2.
BACKGROUND
As a condition of subdivision plat approval through Resolution No. 540-99, the
developer of Jaeger Heights Subdivision No. 2 - Phase 2 was required to install
certain improvements including street paving, storm sewer, sanitary sewer,
watermain and street lighting, and to dedicate the improvements to the City upon
completion. The developer of Jaeger Heights Subdivision No. 2 - Phase 2, Lloyd
S. Gudenkauf, has recently completed the improvements and has formally
requested the City's acceptance of the public improvements which have been
installed,
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 July 28, 2001, Lloyd S. Gudenkauf requested the City's acceptance of the
improvements in Jaeger Heights Subdivision No. 2 - Phase 2 and to refund any
unused inspection fees. Initial inspection of the improvements resulted in
deficiencies in construction that were corrected during the summer of 2002.
Upon a recent inspection by the City, it has been determined that all of the public
improvements required by Resolution No. 540-99 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 improvements shall be the responsibility of the contractor,
Horsfield Construction, and owner, Lloyd S. Gudenkauf, for a period of two 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.
