086 COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 13, 1990 plat will be developed in three phases. The first phase consists twenty three (23) lots. It also includes park land dedications necessary for the first two (2) phases. Grading in the southeasterly park parcel will occur when the second phase is platted. Additional land or cash dedication will be made with the last phase. Storm water ponding necessary for the first phase will occur in back yard easements in phase I. When Outlot A is subdivided in future phases, additional ponding areas will be provided. The City will not have any direct land liability exposure as would be the case if the ponds were owned by the City. Easements necessary in the first phase have been added to the plat. The drainage and utility easement along the Birch Street side of Lots 5 - 11, Block 2 is intended to protect the berm which will be constructed. Permits and letters of approval are required from all agencies. The City Attorney must review the abstract for the property and provide written approval. Public improvements for this property have been ordered along with the improvement for Pheasant Hills Preserve and the school property. Mr. Boxrud explained that improvements cannot begin until the development contract is completed and signed. He noted the development contract should contain all items listed in his "green sheet ". Council Member Reinert noted that approvals are being requested from the Council when all items are not completed. He asked why everything cannot be in place before approval is requested. Mr. Schumacher explained that development agreements are unique. He explained how he and staff sit with the developers and put together the contract. It is complex and similar to a closing on a piece of property. He also noted that banking systems need final plat approval before they will approve funding for the improvement. Mr. Schumacher also explained that the items listed in the development agreement are items already agreed upon by both the City and the developer. Mayor Bisel asked who is making sure that all items in the development agreement is completed to the satisfaction of the City? Mr. Schumacher explained that there is a check list and each item is checked to be sure it is satisfied. Council Member Reinert said he would like to be able to see who has "slipped a cog" if a particular item was not completed as ordered. Mr. Schumacher said that these responsibilities can be tied down. Mayor Bisel said he would also like to see that the responsible staff person signs off when an item is completed. Council Member Kuether moved to approve the final plat of Brandywood Estates, DRB application No. 90 - 26 and Option No. 2 of Mr. Boxrud's "green sheet" and contingent upon items A - D being PAGE 8 1 1
