• • • AGENDA ITEM 6 B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser C. C. MEETING DATE: April 10, 2000 TOPIC: Final Plat, Highland Meadows West VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 BACKGROUND The amended preliminary plat for Highland Meadows West was approved on January 10, 2000. This planned development includes lots for single family detached homes and quad townhomes. The City Attorney has reviewed the title information. The development agreement is being finalized as this report is being written. We expect the agreement to be completed in time for the City Council meeting, including the financial securities. The conditions approved with the preliminary plat are being addressed. Most of the conditions require actions that will take place as part of the development activity or after the final plat is approved. Where possible, we incorporated the conditions into the development agreement. One of the trails that will be dedicated to the City runs in a powerline easement. We are requiring that the developer provide an agreement with the Hutchinson Utilities Commission that allows the trail. The developer submitted the attached draft agreement that has been reviewed by the City Attorney. As part of the development agreement, the developer will get the signature of the Hutchinson Utilities Commission later this month. The agreement will then be recorded. The existing 79th St. on the site is in a 33 -ft road easement. An easement vacation is necessary and has been applied for. We have included this vacation requirement in the developer's agreement. OPTIONS 1. Approve final plat. 2. Approve trail encroachment agreement contingent on Hutchinson Utilities Commission approval. 3. Return to staff with direction. RECOMMENDATION Options 1 and 2
