Addition (Kwik Trip)
SUBMITTED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
Sophia Jensen, City Planner Marty Powers, Public Works Director
Chad Isakson, Assistant City Engineer
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the City Council accept the improvements and approve security
reductions for Inwood 6th Addition?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Staff has received and processed a request to accept the
improvements and reduce the development security for Inwood 6th Addition (Kwik Trip). This request has
been reviewed and is being recommended for approval in accordance with the approved Development
Agreement, and contingent on the developer being current with all other payments and obligations in
accordance with the Development Agreement, including a positive escrow balance as required by the City.
The 2-year warranty period for watermain expired on August 1, 2022 and no corrective items are required.
The Development Security amount is recommended to be reduced as follows:
Current Security Amount Proposed Security Amount
1. Inwood 6th Addition $ 439,246 $ 68,626
The Inwood 6th Addition facilities are in the warranty period as identified on the attached Certificate of
Completion. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the original security amount will be retained until the warranty
periods have expired and all warranty corrective work has been completed.
FISCAL IMPACT: It is the City’s goal to retain at all times during the subdivision improvements a
security amount that is adequate to ensure completion of all elements of the improvements as protection to
the City tax payers against the potential of developer default. Release of the warranty security brings the
operation and maintenance of the public watermain the responsibility of the city going forward.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council, as part of the Consent Agenda,
accept the improvements and approve the security reductions as detailed in the attached respective
worksheets for Inwood 6th Addition, all contingent on the developer being current with all other payments
and obligations in accordance with the Development Agreement, including a positive escrow balance as
required by the City. If removed from the consent agenda, the recommended motion for the action is as
follows:
“Move to accept the improvements and approve the security reductions as detailed in the attached
respective worksheets for Inwood 6th Addition, contingent on the developer being current with all other
payments and obligations in accordance with the Development Agreement.”
