Item No. 9A <br />Meeting Date: June 14, 2004 <br />Type of Business: CA <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br />City Administrator Review _______ <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works <br /> <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution No. 6258 Adopting a Private Street <br />Maintenance Policy <br />Background / History <br />Periodically, the City receives requests to take over ownership and maintenance <br />of private residential streets. The purpose of this policy is to define and <br />standardize the City’s position on accepting private residential streets for <br />ownership and maintenance. <br /> <br />Since this is not a unique situation, at a Work Session meeting, on May 6, 2002, <br />Staff recommended that the City develop a policy regarding private streets. The <br />policy, as currently drafted, would allow for the streets and utilities of the Silver <br />Lake Woods development to be transferred to the City for maintenance and <br />ownership. Attached, as Exhibit A, is a copy of the May 6, 2002 Staff report, <br />including the draft Private Street Policy. <br /> <br />At the May 6, 2002 Work Session the City Council was in general agreement with <br />the draft Private Street Maintenance Policy. However, no further action was <br />taken. As a bookkeeping item, and in an effort to keep discussion and <br />negotiations with the Silver Lake Woods Condominium Association moving <br />forward, Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Private Street <br />Maintenance Policy at this time. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution approving the Private <br />Street Maintenance Policy and authorize the City Administrator to execute it. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Greg Lee, Director of Public Works <br /> <br /> <br />
