<br />Proposed Development Agreement Revisions. <br />Given the timing of the start of work on site, with winter conditions having set in, the Developer no longer <br />has the ability to construct the public infrastructure in a manner that will be conducive to the long term <br />quality of those improvements. The Developer has requested the City to allow for the construction of the <br />Bridgewater Bank site on Lot 2, Block 2 which could occur during the winter months. The Developer is <br />asking to construct a temporary access road and for other amendments to the Developer’s Agreement which <br />would allow for a bank site to begin work now, but for the City to ensure that infrastructure is ultimately <br />built according to the City’s performance standards. <br /> <br />The City’s staff has considered how to modify the DA language in a manner that will be acceptable to the <br />City and propose the following general changes: <br />• Access to the Bank site is allowed via a temporary gravel road. <br />• Grading of the bank site meets the general intent of the development’s grading plan approved by <br />the City but doesn’t need to include stormwater ponds. <br />• The Bank site plan is reviewed and approved by the City prior to permit issuance. <br />• While work is ongoing on the bank site, stormwater is managed appropriately until stormwater <br />facilities are brought online. <br />• All required infrastructure improvements necessary to serve this site, according to the Developer’s <br />Agreement are installed prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the bank. <br /> <br />Proposed Development Agreement Language. <br />If the City Council seeks to approve the requested revisions, the following changes to Section 25.B are <br />suggested by staff and found agreeable by the Developer: <br /> <br />1. Adequate safe public access for emergency services and contractors, including a gravel road to <br />the building pad which is sufficient to allow construction to proceed, and is identified and <br />maintained as the Emergency and Construction Access Road; <br /> <br />2. A grading as-built plan approved by the City for Lot 2, Block 2 to include verification of all lot <br />corner elevations, grade breaks along the lot lines (high and low points), and emergency overflow <br />elevations; <br /> <br />3. An approved site plan for Lot 2, Block 2.; <br /> <br />4. A storm water drainage management plan, approved by the VBWD, for containing all site runoff <br />in a manner that prevents sediment discharges from the site at all times during and following <br />construction. The developer agrees that all construction work is subject to an immediate stop work <br />order upon any breach of sediment discharge from the site, until all corrective measures as <br />identified by the City and VBWD are fully addressed and corrected; and <br /> <br />5. The Developer has installed adequate parking to Lot 2, Block 2. <br /> <br />A change is also proposed to Section 25C, the conditions under which a certificate of occupancy may be <br />issued. The proposed revised language, below, provides more specific criteria for what must be completed <br />prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for Lot 2, Block 2: <br /> <br />C. The City will not issue a certificate of occupancy for Lot 2 Block 2 (Bridgewater Bank Building) until <br />such time that sanitary sewer, water, storm sewer, curbing and one lift of asphalt has been installed <br />and tested for all public streets; boulevard grading has been completed within the entire right-of-way <br />(without hold down grading for the future sidewalk or any other improvements); street and traffic <br />control signs are installed; property monuments have been installed, grading as-built plans have been
