TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Acceptance of Stormwater Detention Facilities in Eagle Valley Subdivision
DATE: July 10, 2012
As a condition of subdivision plat approval, the developer of Eagle Valley Subdivision
was required to install certain improvements including street paving with curb, sanitary
sewer main, watermain, storm sewer and catch basins, boulevard street lighting, and
storm water detention facilities, and to dedicate these improvements to the City upon
completion. All public improvements, except the detention facilities, were accepted on
December 15, 2008. The detention facilities were designed to capture runoff from the
abutting property to the north, now being developed as Sky Blue Estates.
City Engineer Gus Psihoyos is recommending acceptance of the storm water detention
facilities and Lot G of Eagle Valley Subdivision. Maintenance of the facilities will be the
responsibility of the City, which will assess said costs to the property owners in Eagle
Valley Subdivision and a portion of Sky Blue Estates.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

SUBJECT: Acceptance of Stormwater Detention Facilities in Eagle Valley Subdivision
DATE: July 8, 2012
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed material provides for City Council acceptance of the detention facilities that the
developer, Fondell Excavating, Inc., has completed in Eagle Valley Subdivision in the City of
Dubuque, Iowa.
BACKGROUND
As a condition of subdivision plat approval through Resolution Nos. 434 -05, 479 -04, and 293-
03, the developer of Eagle Valley Subdivision was required to install certain improvements
including street paving with curb, sanitary sewer main, watermain, storm sewer and catch
basins, boulevard street lighting, and storm water detention facilities, and to dedicate these
improvements to the City upon completion. All public improvements, except the detention
facilities, were accepted on December 15, 2008 by Resolution No. 437 -08. The detention
facilities were designed to capture runoff from abutting property to the north, now being
developed as Sky Blue Estates.
DISCUSSION
The Subdivision Ordinance requires that upon completion of 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.
In June, 2012, Fondell Excavating, Inc. requested the City's acceptance of the detention
facilities in Eagle Valley Subdivision. Upon inspection by the City, it has been determined that
all the detention facilities required by Resolution Nos. 434 -05, 479 -04, and 293 -03 have been
completed in accordance with plans approved by the City Council and in conformance with
City specifications. Maintenance of the detention facility would become the responsibility of the
City with the costs for same being assessed to the property owners within Eagle Valley
Subdivision and Sky Blue Estates, an abutting development to the north, since a portion of Sky
Blue Estates will drain to the detention facilities.
The stormwater detention facilities were constructed on Lot G of Eagle Valley Subdivision and
dedicated on the Final Plat thereof.
RECOMMENDATION
I would, therefore, recommend that the City Council accept the stormwater detention facilities
and Lot G of Eagle Valley Subdivision. Maintenance of the facilities will be the responsibility of
the City which will assess said costs to the property owners in Eagle Valley Subdivision and a
portion of Sky Blue Estates.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution accepting the stormwater
detention facilities in Eagle Valley Subdivision and accept the dedication of Lot G Eagle Valley
Subdivision.
