The enclosed material provides for City Council acceptance of the public improvements
on English Ridge Subdivision, which the developer, English Ridge L.L.C., has recently
completed in English Ridge Subdivision.
BACKGROUND
As a condition of subdivision plat approval through Resolution No. 31 -09, the developer
of English Ridge Subdivision, was required to install certain public improvements
including street paving with curb, storm sewers, sanitary sewer main, storm water
detention facilities, watermain and street lighting, and to dedicate the improvements to
the City upon completion. The developer of English Ridge Subdivision 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.
English Ridge L.L.C. has requested City's acceptance of the improvements in English
Ridge Subdivision. Upon inspection by the City, it has been determined that all of the
public improvements required by Resolution No. 31 -09 have been completed, in
accordance with plans approved by the City Council and in conformance with City
specifications. The storm water detention facilities are substantially complete but need
some minor grading and erosion control work done, along with seeding and mulching of
disturbed areas in the basin.
RECOMMENDATION
I would therefore recommend that the City Council accept the public improvements in
English Ridge. Maintenance of said public improvements shall be the responsibility of
the contractor, English Ridge L.L.C., for a period of two years from the date of
acceptance by the City Council. The storm water detention facilities may be accepted
after 80 percent of the lots in the entire Westbrook Subdivision No. 2 are developed and
adequate erosion control measures are installed on the remaining 20 percent of the lots.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution accepting the public
improvements, with the exception of storm water detention facilities, in English Ridge
Subdivision.
