INTRODUCTION

2012
The enclosed material provides for City Council acceptance of the public improvements
on North Westbrook Drive, South Westbrook Drive and Trails Edge Drive, which the
developer, Callahan Construction, Inc., has recently completed in Westbrook
Subdivision No. 2.
BACKGROUND
As a condition of subdivision plat approval through Resolution No. 123 -11, the
developer of Westbrook Subdivision No. 2, 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 Westbrook Subdivision
No. 2, 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.
Callahan Construction, Inc., has requested City's acceptance of the improvements in
Westbrook Subdivision No. 2. Upon inspection by the City, it has been determined that
all of the public improvements required by Resolution No. 123 -11 have been completed,
with the exception of the storm water detention facilities, 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 completed, 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
Westbrook Subdivision No. 2 with the exception of the stormwater detention facilities.
Maintenance of said public improvements shall be the responsibility of the contractor,
Callahan Construction, Inc., for a period of two years from the date of acceptance by the
City Council. The stormwater 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 stormwater detention facilities, in Westbrook
Subdivision No. 2.
