AGENDA ITEM 6E ® STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Powell, City Engineer • • COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 8, 2000 TOPIC: Project Update, Otter Lake Service Road VOTE REQUIRED: No action required BACKGROUND: This project would provide traffic circulation and utility access for the properties located to the southwest of the new Otter Lake Road/ Main Street intersection. Access to the property on the south side of Main Street will be provided by this service road. The proposed improvements include sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer, and roadway construction. The City agreed to delay construction of the proposed improvements to allow Mr. Schreier time to prepare a development concept, including proposed roadways, consistent with his needs and priorities. We now have a need to construct the improvements in order to provide infrastructure for the proposed bank on the southwest corner of Otter Lake Road and the service road. In response to a request from Mr. Schreier, the City Council delayed commencement of the plans and specifications for this project at the April 24, 2000, meeting. After meeting with Mr. Schreier, and other nearby property owners, City staff is recommending the following: 1. Only the improvements north of, and abutting, the proposed bank site will be constructed at this time. This will consist of about 300 feet of roadway and utility construction. 2. The City will prepare plans and specifications for these improvements. 3. Mr. Schreier will be allowed to contract for, and construct, the improvements as a "developer installed" project. 4. The improvements will be turned over to the City after completion and acceptance. RECOMMENDATION: No action requested. If the City Council does not object, City staff will proceed consistent with the above recommendation.
