Resolution No. 95 - 07 can be found at the end of these minutes. Verbal Status Report, Trapper's Crossing - Mr. Powell explained that on August 8, 1994, the City Council approved the rezone to PDO and the preliminary plat with conditions. One of the conditions was a requirement of a satisfactory plan for the reconstruction of Holly Drive and 12th Avenue be included in the development agreement. On October 19, 1994, SEH completed a traffic study to determine the effect Trapper's Crossing had on the Holly Drive/12th Avenue traffic. A copy of the report was submitted to the developer. The developer has submitted a request to extend the final plat filing deadline. (There is a 90 day requirement between preliminary and final plat approval by the City Council). On December 12, 1994, the City received a letter from the developer with his attorney's opinion on the cost sharing legality and requesting a meeting to discuss the developer's attorney's concerns. The concern was to what extent would the developer be responsible for the cost of the improvements to Holly Drive/12th Avenue. On December 22, 1994, City staff met with the developer. SEH submitted estimated the feasibility report preparation costs. The two (2) feasibility reports that would be prepared are for 12th Avenue improvements and the subdivision itself to evaluate utility service and drainage. Staff indicated to the developer that a feasibility study would have to be prepared on the Holly Drive/12th Avenue project to determine what project costs might be involved and to what dollar extent he would be required to contribute to those improvements. As of this evening, the feasibility reports have not been started. The City's participation in the Holly Drive/12th Avenue feasibility costs should be determined by Council policy which will be discussed at an upcoming Council work session. The question to be answered is to what extent does the City benefit from the report once it has been prepared and if the City should participate in the cost of preparing it. Since the City has no existing policy regarding City participation in the cost of any feasibility study preparation, staff is requesting guidance from the Council as to what would be allowed in this area. The feasibility study would be prepared to determine estimated costs PAGE 15
